Wonderful Doom, v.1.2

About This File

I just wanted all doomers to play First Doom one more time. All maps are similar in design and difficulty to their originals, but they are build from scratch. Please, don`t acept it is a plagiarism, it`s just an alternative to such things like Mood, Randoom or modified ID levels..

In map E4M2, the idiot has a blue key switch where a red key switch should be.

Map E4M2(my favourite) is better than the original one. The others maps are equals to or worse than the originals, but they have the spirit of them. Very good. 5/5

No good. It's just the original DOOM levels, with twists - stairs go up instead of down, rooms are mirrored, areas are moved around and connected in different ways, and so on. There's nothing *ORIGINAL* about this, and the editing's not great, either; there's much better E1/E2/E3/E4-style levels out there. The author deserves some credit for trying, and the levels aren't outright bad, but they're not good, either.

A great twist on the classic, gives another reason to play through Doom again!

I think a lot of the levels are too similar, a bit like instead of normally turning left the player turns right and instead of finding the armor room in section 2 the player finds it in section 4, etc. Still, the levels are impressive. A Doom 2 remake would have been more interesting :)

On the surface these are pretty good levels that are fun to play. But on the other hand they resemble the original Doom levels too much. Many of them seem to just shuffle around places from the original levels into a new configuration. Some of them change nary a thing. If you're not into this kind of thing, just play E4. It has the best, i.e. the most different, levels. 3 stars.

Just finished Knee Deep, looking forward to playing the rest. Some neat touches, nice work.

It is certainly not a wad to play if you are looking for brand new levels, but if you are looking for a new way to play Ult. Doom all over again, you can't do better than this (at least until the full version of Flashback comes out). I think it is better than the original game. 5/5 (for those who like this type of stuff, me included) -Brandon D. Lade

Thank you for making and releasing this. It's like playing the original again but different. Game play is just as good and texture use is actually better imho. At least they are all aligned properly. Looks and plays super with doomsday and the texture model packs which i highly recommend using. 6/5

Really good gameplay, E3M9 was really fun, so were some others. The surprise Cyber in E4M7 really surprised me.

As was said, the maps are only variations of the originals. Nothing new is added, and the boss battles are less memorable. 4 stars for the effort.

Remember Mario Kart 64's Mirror mode? Essentially, that's what this is, for Doom. If you've played Doom, you've played this. That's not to say it's not good, though. 4/5

For some reason the remake of the secret passage in E1M2 literally brings the ceilings down throughout the level; in other words, every time you shoot the door (or the opening) the ceilings drop progressively lower until the level becomes impassable. Otherwise, brilliant design -- brilliant upgrade of the original! Just the thing you should be looking for if you're bored with the original levels but don't want something too vastly different. 4/5

I don't see why this has four stars. It's too close to the originals, and what's changed isn't all for the better either. Two for the effort though.

Chop Doom up into pieces and reassemble it differently, and the result isn't any better than Doom was, and probably worse for being so derivative. Fun for a while, but Back to Basics, CH Retro Episode, Phobos: Anomaly Reborn, or even KDiZD are infinitely superior tribute mapsets, because they actually give you an original experience instead of regurgitating doom.wad and pretending it's new. If you want to play "First Doom", play it, not this. 3/5 --Woolie

Meh, it's okay. But honestly, if you are looking for doom wads. Don't look here. 3 stars for effort, we want new experiences.

This is actually quite an achievement. All four eps look and play like quality iD maps circa 1994. I'm enjoying it, but coming after UTNT it just shows how far the Doom engine has come in terms of art, design and craft. Props to Wraith for 3 years of solid work, old-school Doomers and diehards will appreciate this (hell, I do). But the lack of detail and Doom 2 monsters shows how limited the original game was. 7/10 -Zich.

Hmm. Seems like someone's sense of deja vu is broken. As for the wad, fivetime nostalgia ahoy! -Xaser

The levels are just like the original but with a another layout. I don't like that. I want new levels, not a new version of old ones. 3/5 for the effort.

      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.
