About Dark Ages: Beat Em Up

Dark Ages: Beat Em Up turns the dark-fantasy setting of Doom: The Dark Ages into an illustrated arcade fighting game. Its combat centers on a heavy flail, the Shield Saw, parrying, and a shotgun, giving each encounter several ways to attack or defend.

The game is arranged across five chapters, so progress is presented as a sequence of illustrated beat em up sections rather than a single isolated clash. Switching between forceful weapons and defensive timing keeps the action focused on choosing the right response as enemies press forward. The simple input makes it easy to begin, while the mix of tools gives each fight its own rhythm.

Work through the five chapters while combining the flail, Shield Saw, parry, and shotgun.

Use the parry when defense and timing matter, then select a weapon that fits the opening that follows.

Tips & Tricks

1The flail and shotgun serve different attack purposes, so change your choice instead of relying on one weapon throughout.
2Keep the Shield Saw in mind as part of your defensive options, especially when a direct attack is not the best response.
3Because parrying depends on timing, watch an enemy encounter carefully before trying to answer every attack immediately.
