Play ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ in Classic ‘Doom’ With ‘DOOM Darkfall’ Mod

Last year, classic Doom fans received a cool mod inspired by DOOM: The Dark Ages and its Saw Shield. Now, modding group Darkfall have gone one step further and created a whole DOOM: The Dark Ages-inspired mod for Doom and Doom II, complete with the gameplay, weapons, Saw Shield, melee items & more.

Currently in the second pre-alpha, the DOOM Darkfall mod does have a few placeholders in it at the moment, so it’s still very much WIP. However, the mod does allow you to perform glory kills, sports the Saw Shield, the Skull Crusher gun that chews up skulls and spits out the results as some badass flechette launcher, a new shotgun, a flail that allows you to get medieval with some combo work, the accompanying medieval architecture and so on.

Heck, the team is even doing up new music for the mod, courtesy of composer SatouVA. You can preview a track here.

To get this mod running, you’ll need the original Doom and Doom II wads, as well as use GZDoom. You can find the instructions on the Darkfall MODDB page.

DOOM: The Dark Ages arrives May 15 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and the PC via Steam. It’ll also be available on Xbox Game Pass.

Thanks to DSOGaming for the heads up.
