DOOM The Dark Ages: How To Change Difficulty

DOOM The Dark Ages has several difficulty settings to choose from, and this article explains how you can change it easily.

For the Slayer, battling hordes of demons is just another field-trip at any point of time. Even if you are a seasoned player, you may find the combat and mechanics in DOOM The Dark Ages somewhat different. As such, selecting the right difficulty setting becomes an important factor that shapes your gameplay.

If the fight seems overwhelming at any point, you can always change your difficulty setting to a lower level. Technically, there are six such difficulty modes, though you will not be able to change the setting for the two special modes among these. In this article, we will explain how you can change your difficulty in DOOM The Dark Ages.

How Can You Change The Difficulty Setting in DOOM The Dark Ages?

There are two ways to change your difficulty setting in DOOM The Dark Ages:

• Before starting a mission, while selecting the chapter.
• When a chapter is already in progress.

Even if you change your difficulty setting while selecting the chapter, you will be able to change it once again after you have started the mission if you want.
