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 only possible controversial parts here are the turn to slaughterfest maps in the home stretch and the sometimes-annoying Plasma Marines that appear later on. Some will not mind either; others may mind both. The first 20-22 levels, aside from one or two (09 and 16 perhaps), should be just about a universal pleaser. I even enjoyed the slaughtery end myself. The super secret level is great and even if it goes to a BFG fest much of the time it's really what ID should have done for Warrens IMO. 5/5

A classic hard MW. Don't let the innocent gameplay early on fool you, it'll become merciless as you'll climb up to the last 2 episodes. Scythe didn't impress me, if you didn't like it, forget it, this one is a completely different levelset. I also liked the changes in layout to prevent the boredom. My fav was the final map in hell with it's epic feel and grand battles. Pure dooming. 5/5 -TeH NeXuS

Almost perfect. I don't even care that it's not a complete 32-map set. (Okay, I do...but still, 5/5 no question)

This wad's insane... Levels 11-20 are probably my favorite stretch of Doom maps of all-time. Challenging, fun, and with fantastic layouts... what more can I say?

Looks amazing, but sadly becomes average to play. The later maps are tedious works of holding down 'fire' and taking obscene numbers of Cell Packs/Megaspheres. One of the WADs responsible for the now-standard style of making something 'challenging' by adding a load of enemy/ammo spam, instead of being creative or unique by rationing supplies and featuring decent traps. Because fuck interesting and fun gameplay, we'll toss a BFG9000 and 20,000 ammo among a few thousand monsters at a time, several times.

I liked this more than scythe1. 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*

Great fun! 4/5 - I only give it the 4/5 beacuse scythe 1 is one of my all time fav's, and that'd be damn hard to top otherw ise it'd 5/5. But still, this is a cracking good play. Compared to some of the other, new, more recent megawads, this comes top for me! Damn good job! Adz123 ; )

This is more of a spiritual successor than a direct sequal for me. Because of that, it is not as good as the original. The detail level, style and gameplay is so far removed from the original and the lack of a true ending because of the missing levels in this release bring the score down. However, it has a charm to it that keeps you coming back for more, just like the original, and the gameplay is tight and enjoyable. Recommended, albeit slightly disappointing sequal. 4/5 stars.

Great, fun and detailed maps. It's a pity maps 28, 29, and 30 haven't been finished. Hope Erik completes it someday. 5 stars -soft_haxorz

4 stars because Scythe one is my all time favorite wad. i loved ut cause it was like a constant sock to the gut- fast, powerful. scythe 2 is marvelous... but its big! scythe was just BAM hard hitting level. BAM another hard hitting level. you get in, take your lumps, and go on to the next level.

Awesome megawad - the variety of scenery and the design of levels is gorgeous. Manages to be hard and challenging without falling down to almost-unplayable-HR 2 style, if not for the "version 2" added levels. 5* anyway -- rsl

Very nice mapset. The episode seperation is a great idea, as it allows for variety and consistency at the same time. Level designs are overall well done. Highly Recommended However, I have 2 problems with this mapset. 1, the new enemies were very unfair and fucking annoying >_>. and 2, the majority of the last 8 or so levels went a little bit over the top with the difficulty. Pretty much after completing the first four eps on UV, I recommend switching to HMP for the last two.

      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.
