Enter the Chain Spear. This is the big gimmick of the DLC, trading the defensive power of the shield for <em>massively <\/em>increased mobility. And in typical id fashion, this new weapon is a multifaceted tool that&#8217;s so creative that it could support an entire game on its lonesome.<\/p>\n<p>You can attach it to enemies to launch yourself around, even upgrading it to let you orbit them while you blast away. You can slash enemies, destroying metal and shields. This can also parry green Hell Surge attacks if you time it right, similar to the Shield Saw in the base game. The bricks tied to Doom Guy&#8217;s feet have been untethered now too so you can dash in any direction.<\/p>\n<figure role=\"gallery\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/doom-the-dark-ages-revelations-review.jpg\" alt=\"Doom: The Dark Ages - A first-person screenshot of gameplay showing a player preparing to dodge a Hell Surge attack in a snowy ravine.\" \/><figcaption>The Chain Spear is my new favourite tool in the modern Doom trilogy.

Dodging and parrying attacks earns you Empowerment, which you can use to throw a stunning spear (great for flying and spectre enemies), stab it into enemies to superheat metal and cause explosions, or, my favourite, groundpound to cause enemies to drop health.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll regain access to your old weapons and, soon enough, the repaired Shield Saw, opening the door to yet more combos. Revelations encourages you to master the flow of combat more than ever with tougher demon encounters and more tools to play with.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a hell of a lot of buttons to juggle at any given time, but it&#8217;s one of the most rewarding, satisfying combat systems in the genre. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"level-up\">Level up<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"SpbVRropBiNKTXJioVRqta\" name=\"doom the dark ages revelations review 6\" alt=\"Doom: The Dark Ages - A first-person screenshot of gameplay showing a player standing in a grand hallway in Purgatory.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/doom-the-dark-ages-revelations-review-3.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline expandable\"><a href='https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/doom-the-dark-ages-revelations-review-3.jpg' target='_blank' class='expand-button icon-expand-image icon' ><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Revelations doesn&#8217;t skimp on the environmental design.

For one, I was consistently amazed by how cool Hell, Purgatory, and the Lovecraftian-inspired Cosmic Realm look. Hands and faces protruding from medieval castle walls. Cosmic beasts in unfathomable, shifting labyrinths. It&#8217;s rad.<\/p>\n<p>The new missions are among Doom&#8217;s greatest. They&#8217;re intricate and layered, striking a great balance between mandatory encounters, optional puzzles, and endgame clean-up. The boring binary choice of going one direction to progress or the other to find the obvious secret path is, thankfully, gone. Though that does mean backtracking is common if you&#8217;re not stalking the map screen, and you can&#8217;t return to levels until after you&#8217;ve beaten the story. It&#8217;s pretty punishing if you miss some Platinum on your first run through. Given the focus on combat mastery and perfect flow, having to retread old encounters isn&#8217;t a bore, at least.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"DVVvPWPrfQkqrRkqfYn5va\" name=\"doom the dark ages revelations review 7\" alt=\"Doom: The Dark Ages - A first-person screenshot of gameplay showing a player looking at a puzzle involving a rotating bridge and a moveable cube.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/doom-the-dark-ages-revelations-review-4.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline expandable\"><a href='https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/doom-the-dark-ages-revelations-review-4.jpg' target='_blank' class='expand-button icon-expand-image icon' ><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Here&#8217;s me stumped on how to move this block to the correct position to trigger a switch and build a bridge.

You&#8217;re still moving blocks and finding keys, but there are more layers and some of them actually had me stumped for a minute or two. It&#8217;s the polar opposite of the base game, which felt like it begrudgingly included them out of an obligation to its predecessors.<\/p>\n<p>I loved returning to the main puzzle box hub area after each mission to see what else I could access, such as lowering the water level or pulling down obelisks for treasure. This area contains a lot of the endgame challenges as well, which you&#8217;ll unlock after beating the story, like time trial combat challenges, silly levels inspired by the original Doom, and tough bosses.<\/p>\n<p>The rewards from exploring are also much improved, harkening back to the satisfaction of checking every nook and cranny in Doom 2016. Frankly, I got fed up with most of the secrets being barely hidden, boring Life Sigils and Codex pages in The Dark Ages&#8217; main campaign. Here, you&#8217;re assembling relics for Platinum to grab those meaningful upgrades and getting new skins and toys on a consistent basis.
