Scythe

   (451 reviews)

About This File

A 32 level megawad for doom2. This megawad doesn't have perfect texture alignment, insane detail and fantasticly hard gameplay. Instead it focuses on small fun maps to blast through without much thought about defense. The difficulty rises steadily as you go through the maps and the last few should challenge even the best.

An excellent megawad pack. 5/5

I hate to be so definitive, but as it stands, I've yet to play a WAD as fun as Scythe. My favorite of all-time for many reasons: varied gameplay that's always entertaining, strong layouts, classic feel... it just kicks ass. This is also the wad that inspired me to start making maps, so uh... props for that, too. 5/5 -Snakes

This is really good stuff. Easily one of the best wads I've ever played. Really good job!

The only thing that sucks about this wad is that it has too few levels. Other than that, this wad ties with AV and HR!

One of the best megawads ever, and in my opinion, this SHITS on "Scythe 2" which was just a cheap AV-ripoff. Short, fun and action-packed (but not impossibly hard), this is the spirit that more wads should be made in. 5/5 - if you like this you should definitely try the congestion/claustrop hobia 1024 series too.

Scythe 2 is MUCHO better, this one made it to the top 100, but I really don't know why. Sorry. Not horrible, but hardly worth the hype...

Levels that make Romero look like an amateur. Seriously, these levels flow!

I dont know why I havent given it those 5 stars yet? repetitive? Not really... Each map got its originality and its own good layout and unique atmosphere. And a little mistakes? Hmm who cares? Maybe some noobs. Surely 5/5 for this "legendary" wad. -Gusta-

Wow, just wow. I'd been looking for a new megawad to play and man is this one incredible. Maps are short, action packed, well crafted, and just cool. The secret levels are neat as well (especially MAP 31 with the neat dungeon theme). 5/5, without a doubt.

Just when I had thought that "Go2it" was the most difficult Doom level ever made... I got to stage 30 of this WAD. Holy Cow, that's the first time I've ever encountered a stage that took me over an hour to complete (but loved every minute of it)!. Excellent work here; a lot of the levels were a bit on the easy side, but the hard levels were GENUINELY HARD.

It wasn't really my kind of WAD. I mean, it was a nice one to play, but it was too...classic-style for my tastes. I liked the insane last set of maps, though. Slaughter fests are fun! 3/5

Amazing piece of work. Everything about it is perfect - level design, detail, difficulty, textures (well except the alignment error at the beginning of map 10 :P ). I can't believe anyone would give this lower than 5 stars.

Best ever, along with AV, Scythe 2, HR2 (HR has very bad level design overall) and Ksutra. Deserves all of its 5 stars

Even though I like wads with lots of custom stuff like new music, textures and enemies, this was really fun to play. Good maps where it's easy to find our way around without wandering. This is even better and funnier in coop blasting your way through with friends.

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
