I didn’t need to know why I was blowing holes through demons or why they escaped from Hell in the first place. When I was younger, mindless violence was all the motivation that was needed for a gory video game. I personally enjoy having this kind of sense of direction and motivation behind the pure archaic action of maiming and blasting my way through hordes of enemies. Some folks may feel the heavier focus on the story is tacked on in order to make some kind of sense or give meaning to the events in the game. It expands upon the lore of DOOM, which some players may find interesting as it fleshes out the reasons why the events in the games are happening in the first place. Samuel Holden.ĭOOM ETERNAL is much more story-fuelled than previous entries in the series. The Doom Slayer, sets out to thwart their plans but requires the assistance of an old acquaintance, Dr.

In order to halt the advances from Hell on Earth, Doom Slayer will need to go after the other Hell Priests as well.Īs the story progresses, it is revealed that the Hell Priests serve an angelic entity called the Khan Makyr who is using the Hell Priests to sacrifice humankind. After a brief exchange of words (mainly from Deags Nilox as Doom Slayer is not really a talker), Doom Slayer promptly rips the Hell Priest’s head from its shoulders. He eventually finds and confronts one of three Hell Priests, Deags Nilox, who is orchestrating the event. The Doom Slayer immediately goes to work ripping and tearing through every demon that has the misfortune of getting in his way. More than half of the human population has been wiped out by the invasion and what is left has either fled Earth or gone into hiding. The Doom Slayer has returned from Hell to find that the Earth has succumbed to a Demon Invasion. Porting and optimization masters Panic Button stepped up yet again to work their magic and 9 months later, we can rip and tear all over again on our favorite hybrid console.ĭOOM ETERNAL follows on from the events of DOOM (2016). The Nintendo Switch version of the game did not release alongside the platforms and still required some much-needed optimization for it to run on the hardware. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, DOOM ETERNAL launched a day forward in certain retail outlets to minimize crowding in their stores. The game was originally scheduled for March 20 th and coincided with the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on March 19 th, 2020. The Nintendo Switch itself has six titles available from the original DOOM (1993) to the latest entry in the series, DOOM ETERNAL.ĭOOM ETERNAL is the direct sequel to DOOM (2016).

Since the first game released back in 1993, there have been about nine main installments/reiterations, four spin-off games, and countless rereleases on almost every gaming platform in existence.
