Enjay Zdoom 2001

If this was the 2001 year I would rate this 5/5. But in 2022 this wad is nothing but a lame retro.

I got the feeling that this wad was trying to showcase the advanced Zdoom capabilities rather than trying to create a

good game play, and even with the advanced features the design still feels flat!

HMP or lower players will probably enjoy this as it is a below average difficulty with plenty of ammo/items.

I wanted to rate this 2.5/5 stars, but since half star cannot be selected I rated it 3 stars.

We really need to be able to select half a star in rating.

I had a blast with this one! There wasn't a single map I didn't enjoy as all the maps were well crafted, the fights were nice and there're some minor ZDOOM features added on the maps (like diving into the water among other things). The difficulty is easy to a experienced player but it's very fun. I recommended this wad to those that want a more relaxed gameplay.
 

to this day Enjay's Doom wads still hold up, despite being really old. Enjay Zdoom 2001 puts some ZDoom features into the old levels, but doesn't overdo it. it helps that the original maps themselves are fun, classic Doom action levels with no real drawbacks, the levels are medium-sized with decent progression. what the ZDoom set does use is colored lighting, ambient sound effects, particles, fog, but uses them sparingly and gives only a tad of atmosphere, and that's really all they need. there's a few new monsters like a gray imp and the rifle trooper which replaces the SS, but also doesn't overuse either of them. really, this one is easily replayable and still fun.
