The game features a richly designed in-game world for players to explore.
It offers over 20 missions, marking a significant expansion from its predecessors.
The time it takes to complete these missions will depend on the player's skill level, understanding of the game, and chosen difficulty setting.
Doom: The Dark Ages is finally here with an innovatively designed campaign full of monsters. After a long break from 2019’s Doom Eternal, id Software has brought the latest mainline entry to the franchise. Notably, this game marks the evolution of the franchise by blending the signature fast-paced combat with a rich, medieval-inspired world.
If players have been confused about the time they need to invest to beat the game, that mostly depends on the number of missions. Doom: The Dark Ages isn’t an exception. With 22 expansive chapters, this installment offers one of the biggest campaigns of the franchise.
Below is the list of missions that will challenge the combat prowess and exploration skills of gamers.
Hardcore veteran players of the franchise can easily identify the expansion length. While both Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal featured 13 missions each, Doom: The Dark Ages featured 22 missions. As per id Software reveals, each of these missions takes around an hour to complete. However, this seems kind of an overestimation, though.
The campaign of this game unfolds in a wide array of in-game environments. All these will come with their specific challenges and aesthetics. So, here is the list of missions that players must go through:
Village of Khalim
Hebeth
Barrier Core
Sentinel Barracks
The Holy City of Aratum
Siege – Part 1
Siege – Part 2
Abyssal Forest
Ancestral Forge
The Forsaken Plains
Hellbreaker
Sentinel Command Station
From Beyond
Spire of Nerathul
City of Ry'uul
The Kar'Thul Marshes
Temple of Lomarith
Belly of the Beast
Harbor of Souls
Resurrection
Final Battle
Reckoning
Each of these missions introduces new enemies, challenges, and gameplay mechanics that suit the environment of the mission. This variety ensures a dynamic and engaging experience throughout the campaign.
The beating time of a game mostly depends on the skill set of a player and on which difficulty he’s trying to complete it. On average, players can complete Doom: The Dark Ages within 20 hours, including all the missions.
Now, coming to the time required to complete missions, the criteria are the same. A player’s playstyle, skill level, and difficulty setting will decide how long it will take for them to complete a mission. For an approximate idea, one can go for the below time frame:
Main Story Completion: Approximately 12–15 hours.
Exploration and Collectibles: Those who want a more satisfying completion need to be prepared for an additional 5–10 hours.
100% Completion: Around 30 hours. It’s for those who want to complete the game without leaving anything behind.
Here, one should note that not all these missions take equal time to complete. Some of them, especially Siege– Part 1 and Siege– Part 2, will take more time to be finished because of their expansive nature.
Missions are not all about the primary objective in Doom: The Dark Ages. Instead, id Software has designed these missions with specific challenges that will test players’ combat and exploration skills. These tasks require them to complete various activities like eliminating enemies, discovering hidden game secrets, and more. Completion of these tasks provides an in-depth idea of the storyline.
As players keep progressing through these challenges, they will receive some of the most necessary in-game items as rewards. While some reward them with weapon skins, others will give them gold and prestigious recognition.
That’s more or less everything one should know about the Doom: The Dark Ages mission list. This game offers an expansive and immersive experience with 22 missions and loads of interesting activities. Whether one is interested in completing the main story missions or is curious to uncover secrets, Doom: The Dark Ages promises long, engaging gameplay hours to everyone. So, prepare to dive into a long journey with Doom Slayer and take down thousands of monsters throughout it.
