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.

I agree with the reviewer 3 times above me. Ep 1 is (too) easy even on skill 4, Ep 2 was challenging, Ep 3 is pure madness. Overall, except map19, 29, 30, the levels are too small in my taste, I went through Ep 1 & 2 in something like 3 hours or so. I had to jump to complete map 28 and to access the BFG9000 secret area in map29. Map 30 is the hardest Doom map I ever played (skill 4), never had a chance to complete it. Despite that, I must admit that the gameplay is fun. 4/5. ~Naan

Impressive, though some levels were a bit repetitive. Worth the playthrough though, 3/5.

Not as epic or as beautiful as Scythe II, but my god these levels were FUN. I don't think I've ever played a megawad that's so enjoyable to sit and play through as this is. The very last map was insane and I think strayed too much from what makes Scythe great, but everything else is just incredible. Absolute 5/5

One day short of a decade old, and this is still quite probably the best 'short and sweet' megawad out there. There are a few maps thrown in to please fans of larger, more epic levels but those are mostly the last two and it's makes for a memorable and fitting end to the game anyways. If 40-level megawads were doable, Scythe X would be a great addition to this as well. As it stands I just wish X will be worked on again someday!

When Scythe 2 was released a few weeks ago, I almost forgot how great a wad this is. I'd been anticipating the sequel for nearly a year, and I rushed onto it immediately when it appeared in the archives. But I have to admit, looking back to it, this is still an excellent wad even with Scythe 2 out. Great for those who don't like spending a long time on levels, yet still want a fantastic quality game (maps 19, 29, and 30 are larger levels though). 5 star material.

Cramped fights are not my cup of tea, but this WAD somehow manages to make them acceptable, if not entertaining at certain points. Not bad at all. -Maceo89

I still secretly play this megawad on a weekly basis because of how awesome its still is even after being nearly 10 years old already. Also still my favorite megawad of all time ;)

I strongly do not agree with the reviewer one nor four times above me. The set was not meant to be really hard right from the start and nor was it meant to take really long to play. Thus this criticism is highly disliked. The set is great and well worth 5 stars (even though Scythe II is even better IMO).

This is a simply amazing mapset. The way the difficulty ramps up is really dynamic, while the entire mapset stays stays loyal to its simplistic style. 5 stars

Legendary in every sense of the word! When you consider it's all Erik behind all but one map, you can't help but to be amazed and in awe of this guy's talents. Addictive as hell gameplay and compact well designed levels makes a classic wad for all time. This is well deserving of 5 stars. -TRRobin.

A nice set of mostly cute, small, focused maps. Very well designed and flowing. There are a couple of weaker maps (map18, map28), and the difficulty takes a surprising leap towards the end.

      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.
