An unidentified space marine toils on Mars and its satellites in the original DOOM for Union Aerospace Corporation. Stationed there as punishment for violating an order to injure defenseless citizens, the marine was On the surface of Mars and its satellites, Deimos and Phobos, the UAC carries covert research on interdimensional transport. Ignoring safety precautions, Hell physically opens as the UAC's experiments unintentionally create a split between dimensions, enabling Hell's residents to flee into human reality. As carnage starts, the Doomguy sets out to destroy the invading armies by going to Hell itself.
DOOMguy returns to Earth in the sequel, DOOM II: Hell on Earth only to discover his homeworld overrun by demonic forces. With certain fortified cities housing the few surviving people, most of mankind has been devastated. As he searches for the root of the terrible siege, the Game shows the space marine blasting his way over several suburban and metropolitan sites. Doomguy meets the "Icon of Sin," a very strong demonic entity in charge of invading Earth, in the finale of the game. Doomguy wins a bloody struggle, therefore temporarily halting Hell's menace to Earth.
Given that DOOM 3 starts and finishes inside one Game, it is an intriguing release. While the games before it were fast-paced shooters, 2004's DOOM 3 turned more toward atmosphere and survival and embraced the horror aspects of the genre. The major enemy of the game is the corrupt Dr. Betruger, who changes into a demonic spectre, Maledict, at the conclusion instead of a just demonic final boss. Unlike prior series installments, DOOM 3 questions the ethics of science run amok mostly through the activities of Dr. Betruger, whose work ignores human existence.
The 2016 DOOM relaunch sees the series entirely rebuilt from a story perspective. Offically reintroduced as the "Doom Slayer," an ancient warrior trapped up in a sarcophagus for millennia only to be revived by the UAC in their Mars facility. Under this chronology, the UAC's Dr. Olivia Pierce is trying to solve an energy issue on Earth by using the energy of Hell. She lets the legions of Hell enter our reality, though, and once more the Doom Slayer must destroy these extraterrestrial invaders to guarantee the ultimate redemption of mankind.
Following the events of DOOM (2016), DOOM Eternal picks up and once more demons have conquered Earth. But what sets DOOM Eternal apart from its forebears is how it develops the background of the Doom Slayer, a character who has essentially stayed one-dimensional in most past games. Many components—the Seraphim, the Sentinels, the Divinity Machine—are added to strengthen the narrative of the game. The Sentinels of the dimension Argent D'Nur enlist the Doom Slayer; another realm under demonic attack. The Doom Slayer becomes a near-immortal by means of the Divinity Machine.
Officially unveiled at the recent Xbox Summer Showcase, the little known about the forthcoming prequel looks to promise a thorough investigation of the ancient beginnings of the Doom Slayer. Set in a mediaeval environment, the series protagonist battles Hell's forces using an amazing array of weaponry in Dark Ages. The most famous are the Shield Saw and the Skull Crusher, a pistol that launches deadly bone pieces at foes after chewing up the dead heads. A first for the series, mech warfare represents maybe the most audacious feature Dark Ages offers.
Doomguy was for years essentially a vehicle for mayhem. The increased complexity of the space marine's past has made the relaunch far more interesting, even if the original DOOM titles are still a blast even now. The Xbox Showcase's centerpiece was Dark Ages, and ID Software seems ready to carry the series in fascinating fresh ways. Crushing demons will never stop being enjoyable, whether they are in an old mediaeval fortress or an industrial plant on Mars. With every version of the DOOM franchise, the several Timelines only get more fascinating to investigate.
Since the first chapter in 1993, the DOOM series has been a highly regarded franchise. Though not the first first-person shooter game, DOOM brought the genre into the mainstream in shockingly graphic manner. DOOM debuted in the early 1990s and has since generated movies, books, many other kinds of media, and innumerable spin-offs and sequelae. The tale of DOOM naturally veers in many directions and generates its own universe of lore in which the Doomguy has been repeatedly reinterpreted. With DOOM: Dark Ages just revealed, here is a perfect moment to straighten the narrative.
If one excludes everything media except the video games, DOOM basically has three main Timelines. Every timeline is full with blood-hungry hellions, of course, but how the Doomguy is shown and his background differs greatly with every. Another element that varies in every timeline is the reason the space marine is first on Mars. From corporate villains and mad scientists to cosmic struggles between the angels and demonic, the space marine has really seen it all. As we review the three primary timelines of the DOOM games, get ready to travel to Hell and return.
