![]() ![]() Spirits are similarly annoying, though at least they’re more inventive. When you start firing back the eye goes away, and there’s really only one weapon that does decent damage to it so if that’s out of ammo, expect an annoyingly long standoff (which doesn’t really fit the Doom Eternal tone, where you’re supposed to be constantly moving around). Turrets, for example, have a small purple eye that emerges from the top every now and then to fire at you. The Ancient Gods adds a couple of new enemies to the mix, but truth be told they’re probably the weakest part of the experience because they can be extremely annoying to take out. Not that it’s the same old bad guys you’ll be taking on, of course. So if you haven’t played the main Doom Eternal campaign yet (or you’re a bit rusty… it’s been eight months, after all), do that first. It may be a standalone expansion but it very much feels like a campaign that assumes you’ve already beaten the main one and that you're perfectly comfortable taking on hordes of its more difficult enemies right off the bat. ![]() Instead, from the second the first of its three lengthy chapters kicks off, you’re immediately thrown into a huge battle with loads of enemies, some of whom are upper tier gits. There are no tutorials, no easy-going opening areas with a couple of weak enemies, nothing like that. The ensuing plot is typical Doom stuff, in that it’s hokier than half a Hokey Cokey marathon, but if you got a kick out of all the nonsense that went on in Doom Eternal you’ll enjoy where the game takes it here, especially its cliffhanger ending (this is the first of a two-part DLC story, you see).Īlthough The Ancient Gods Part One can be chosen from the main menu of Doom Eternal and doesn’t require you to have even started the main game, let alone beaten it, we strongly suggest you play through the main Doom Eternal campaign first: not only for plot purposes, but because this is pretty difficult stuff. Without spoiling anything that happened in that game, basically your mission didn’t end with your actions there, and now Hell’s demons are lining up an attempt to take over every dimension so they can invade Earth again. The Ancient Gods Part One is a standalone campaign that follows on from the events of Doom Eternal. If that feels like a long time, consider that the main game took nine months to come to Switch: if anything, things are getting better! Sort of. It’s been eight months since the first expansion DLC for Doom Eternal launched on other systems and now it’s finally here on Switch. ![]()
