Scythe 2. Version 2

About This File

This is the sequel to my old megawad "Scythe". Expect better looking and bigger levels. unfortunately, the last 3 levels are missing, because I am so lazy and I haven't been satisfied with my attempts at making map28. I _might_ release the last 3 maps some time in the future, but do not count on it. (Update: the last 3 maps are now completed!)

The last three levels are among the best I've seen. The time Erik had to think about what he wanted to do with them really shows. 5/5 (Surprisingly, MAP30's music is underwhelming despite how careful Scythe 2 was with its selections. Try IDMUS28, that song suits the level a lot more!)

Even though I liked the original Scythe better. I still think this is a brilliant addon. I was really amazed with the Final Level (27) a huge castle on the edge of hell. All the levels were fairly well designed and the later ones pack some extremley hard challenges (almost Hell Revealed in difficulty). A Recommended Download at must! 5/5. -PC

This is my abosulte favorite wad so far Even if it is too hard for me to complete :P From the moment I heard "Temple of Love" in the first level I knew it was going to be amazing Congrats Erik, I can barely wait for Scythe X to be complete :D

Clearly 5/5 material, and one of the best wads of recent years. I agree with Belial that it isn't a true sequel to Scythe, and some of the early maps were even a bit disappointing (relatively speaking). Kama Sutra probably edges it out for wad of the year so far, IMO. Being edged out by KS is no disgrace though.

Excellent! There is 2 downsides of this though... I cannot complete map 25 unless i cheat or enable "couch" to the game (which is not suppose to be used in Doom) Last 3 maps missing! 4 Stars.

The best wad I have ever seen. The last few levels are unfair, though :) 5/5

Excellent work throughout. I loved the last 5 levels or so very much, lots of intense action. This megawad gave very good amounts of challenge and thinking. One could notice that the author had used a lot of time on each level and on planning the fights. It was a very good idea to split the megawad into smaller episodes. Very good amounts of detail as well and the final level surely gave a good fight, one of the best there has been for me. :D 5 Stars *****

Certainly one of the greatest mapsets ever made. The last 3 are awesome, so it's nice that erik got some inspiration to finish them. The wad is also chock full of legendary music selections. Even though I haven't played every single map, I'm not going to let it just sit on my HD and gather dust; I will finish those maps soon.

Love this wad. Possibly even better than the original Scythe. Map27 = Best Doom music ever. Sounds like freakin' Keith Emerson!

Awesome level set. Didn't like episode V as much as the others because it was the vastly overdone Hell Revealed style gameplay, but it still looked cool. Everything else was fantastic, fantastic-looking throughout and great gameplay everywhere but episode V. Awesome. 5/5

This is one of the best wads I have ever played so far. The mapping is pretty good, gameplay is fun and challenging, most musics are awesome (anyone knows where I can find their names by the way?) and secrets are smart. Egyptian and hellish maps are my favorite. 5/5

This wad is tied with Equinox as my personal favorite ever. These levels are not only really attractive, they're also barrels of fun to play. The last map is so good it makes me feel all warm inside. 80 smajillion/5

I loved Scythe, but it wasn't nearly as epic as this is. Forgotten City is impossible to finish without doing idclip at the very end, but other than that and the missing level bullshit this is absolutely impeccable. 6/5

      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.
