The goal behind the development of DOOM: The Dark Ages is to maximize its accessibility to a broad audience. Compared to previous id Software projects, this latest installment offers significantly more customization options. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasized the studio's commitment to making the game accessible to as many players as possible.

Players will have the ability to fine-tune various aspects of the game, including enemy difficulty and damage, projectile speed, damage intake, and other elements such as the game's tempo, aggression level, and parry timing. This level of customization ensures that players can tailor their experience to their preferred playstyle.

Stratton also assured that the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal are designed to be comprehensible even for those who haven't played DOOM: The Dark Ages. This approach makes the game welcoming to newcomers while still engaging for long-time fans.
