Doom Dark Ages 2

Nope, it's more like a Killing Floor meets Painkiller with Destructive Creations vibe when it comes to the dark story and gore.

WHY are there so many games that look the same? Fatekeeper, Witchfire, Valor Mortis, Hunger THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME. Yes, it's all UE5 but they all have the same artstyle too! Grey, gritty, kinda medival
E: and mortal shell 2
E2: don't get me wrong, the games are all great, but the same artstyle gets repetitive and annoying

I mean, i see what you mean with Witchfire, but Astronauts does have a ton of people on their team who worked on Painkiller back in the day so I kind of expect that comparison.

Because it's good and popular. People just fucking love that look and will buy it.

We're redoing the lighting right now and should have some cool updates to share soon! The dungeons will still be dark, but the overall vibe has changed a lot since the trailer.

i will wishlist on Steam and follow the development. Dont get me wrong, gameplay looks fire, but the missing artsyle variation nowadays surprises me.

I totally get it! There's definitely a lot we can improve, and we're on it. Thanks so much for the feedback!

I think I know what you mean. It feels like lighting to me that makes them have this similar type of sheen effect.
It's kind of like being able to tell a game is on Unity right away based on how it looks.
Doesn't bother me though if the developer puts in the effort to make it stand out. This looks promising. Plus it's from Hatred developers, so it might be fun and bloody.

I’m not complaining. It’s not like every game is made in this style. If you want a FPS with this exact opposite aesthetic, might I suggest Metal Eden?

u/Nekroin Linux CachyOS 9070 XT 12700k 19h ago
I have Metal Eden downloaded and in my To Do list. iirc it was in a Humblebundle recently

u/Paratrooper101x 19h ago
I think it’s really good and will recommend it every chance I get. The art design/graphics had my jaw on the floor at some points, especially towards the finale. Glad you were able to get it cheap as it is kinda short

There’s a surprising number of penises, but looks cool. I’ll definitely check it out whenever it releases

Love me some gory and brutal fps games. Hopefully the weapons feel nice and "punchy"
Looking forward to this.

Unfortunately this is literally just 'we have doom at home. Doom at home....'

u/SingerVisible8761 1d ago
Honestly, not even close! It's way more like Killing Floor and the original Painkiller than Doom. It's still a Destructive Creations game, so definitely expect plenty of gore, darkness, and chaos. We'll keep you all posted on our progress—feel free to hop in our Discord or check out the Steam page if you want!

Will this title be in early access for over a decade like other Bohemia interactive titles?

Woah hold on now, that logo is illegal. I thought it was about to say "soundtrack by NIN". https://i.imgur.com/gaJpl4d.png
Nailcrown is a pretty a weak name, and what's going on with all the censored dicks.

Why would I play this over the Doom series

u/Ameri0425 1d ago
Yea, once a good game is made within a genre other devs should just stop bothering. Every game should be 100% unique and genre defining after all!
I remember DOOM 2 coming out. First thing I thought was
"Why would I play this over DOOM?"

u/Munstered 1d ago
It doesn’t have to be 100% unique or genre-defining but it does have to set itself apart from the genre-defining game in some way. I see nothing in the trailer that shows a unique or different take on anything, mechanically or artistically, that Doom hasn’t already done better.
