Xbox One Doom Controller

The story of Doom continues with Doom: The Dark Ages! Set as a prequel to the 2016 game, this first-person shooter shifts a little away from the faster pace of its predecessors, focusing on strategic combat and a more story-telling feel to the narrative. This limited edition controller taps in to that with a design inspired by the Doom Slayer’s armour.

The main fascia is the iconic matte green with the edges surrounding the buttons featuring a nice ‘worn’ look where the paint has been rubbed off to the bare metal beneath. The right stick has been coloured red so it looks just like the sensor on Doom Slayer’s armour and we also have a gory blood splatter (well, it could be red paint but I don’t think this guy is in to interior decorating! I don’t think he’d get the business…) coming down past the left-hand stick. The hand grips have been fashioned after the armour plates and coloured accordingly. They also have a rubber-like feel and the resulting texture gives a nice grip in the hand. Another nice touch is the A, B, X and Y buttons actually have the corresponding symbol from the Sentinel alphabet rather than the traditional letters. Finally, the mark of the Doom Slayer himself is emblazoned across the right-hand grip of the controller in red.

The controller itself is wireless and comes in the standard format for an x-box controller with nothing overly new there but when you’re gaming with something like this in your hands, who cares? It looks cool and definitely fits in with the look of Doom. Plus, you get an exclusive DOOM ™ Slayer Executioner skin to use in Doom: The Dark Ages when you purchase this controller so, not only will you look good in real life, you’ll also look pretty good in-game too! RRP £74.99
