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.

Kickass megaWAD. Still waiting for the rest of Scythe X to come out, though. :P

Finally managed to finish map30. Took me two hours. LOL Christ, I'd love to see a speedrun of this level. Download this if only for map30. all other levels will look tame in comparison.

So mediocre and bland ... hah ha hah ha 5/5 Just kidding! In scythe 2 our mapping hero tried to hard, I think, and lost some of that magical flow and creativity that is widely present in this fantastic megawUUd!.?>

This was one of the first wads I ever played, and I don't regret playing it. I couldn't beat maps 28 and 30, but I put that down to my lack of skill rather than inadequate level design. I'll beat them one day. For now, 5 stars. - Obsidian

The second episode is better in my opinion, but I still think the levels here are really good.

I never thought I'd say this about any mapset, but Scythe is "cute". Many maps are quick and small and there's something here for everyone: the sneaky type, the crazy type, the speedy type .. and of course it's good for blasting through with a co/op partner. It's almost like a training ground for Doom , where you can work on your skills in a controlled environment. If you pass on this, you'll have missed something great. --5/5

I just played through this set, and while it's admittedly pretty fun, I just don't think it deserves all the hype it gets. The architecture is good in most of the maps and the gameplay steadilly progresses from easy to insanely hard and extreme. But there were lots of maps I didn't like, and only a few that I trully enjoyed. Sorry, short, simple maps with primitive, violent gameplay just aren't to my taste.

This truly is a legendary Doom WAD. Maps 1-20 Aren't very hard, but make for a great evening of solo fun on UV(assuming you are a rather adapt FPS player). Maps 21-30 On the otherhand, are simply stunning to say the least! The maps are all very creative, vary from short and brutal to long and harsh. MAP30 is the hardest DOOM map I have every seen or played, but it remains fun because its possible if you take it slowly! Overall, this is the type of WAD that I would pay money for since it was so well done!

Good wad; very challenging levels especially map30! Good design, monster placement. Only criticism is that some levels are too easy and small compared to others. Still great! 4/5.

One of the best wads ever. The only thing I don't like about both Scythes is that the last 10 levels are always fucking stupid. I personally don't care for running around like a maniac firing my bfg, running after cell charges, and loading and saving constantly, only to be cornered by some ridiculous amounts of barons of hell or revenants. Like c'mon. You have to keep it more interesting than that. Level design+detail is always good but the maps past map20 are always a waste of space. Still 5*

Not bad at all, maybe a bit too small and short, not to mention it's very easy in the beginning, but becomes very hard towards the end. Interesting and fun, I could recommend it for the less experienced average Doom players too, veteran Doomers might find it too easy and boring, except for the last few levels. Level design and textures are OK, music and atmosphere works pretty well, and the whole WAD can be played through in just a few hours. 4/5

It's great, but I had to give it 4 stars if it wern't for the fact that mep 30 everything slows down! Is that a bug in the wad?

Awesome small, to the point maps, maybe even the best megawad of its kind. And possibly up there with Rebirth for best total surprise megawad release. 5/5

      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.
