About This File

Valiant is a MBF megawad for Doom II featuring 32 new maps spanning 5 themed episodes. Each map is designed to be played from a pistol start, but some effort has been made to support continuous play as well.

Additionally, Valiant includes a number of new monsters and weapons implemented through an extensive MBF format DeHackEd patch. As a result, Valiant is not compatible with gameplay mods, and can only be played in ports with full MBF DeHackEd support. At present, these include ZDoom, GZDoom, PrBoom-plus (complevel 11), and Eternity. Zandronum is also supported through DECORATE.

The GOAT megawad. Legendary map design, aesthetic and music. Great use of the occasional slaughter mechanics without the unlimited ammo BFG spam nonsense. No shitty Icon of Sin maps either. 10/5

Valiant! It's something pompous and minimalistic in the same time! Lots of breath-taking, elegant and unforgettable places in each map. Genuine ideas in many aspects of design. I reckon Cacowards will be raped by this piece of art. That's for damn sure. The only thing I really can't appreciate is the sector damage on each liquid floor texture. 5/5 (enkeli33)

The maps are absolutely gorgeous. I am yet to actually play through the later ones, but this is fantastic beyond belief!

This is easily in my top 3 modern mapsets (along with Speed Of Doom and Going Down). Well done, dude! And I hope you will keep on mapping! Also the dehacked stuff complements the mapset REALLY well. -Firedust

It's been a while since i've had this fun in doom. The maps are Incredible. Only thing i noticed is that some maps have portions from other wads but nothing too bad. Chapter 4 was not as good as the rest but still good enough to keep me playing. Map 28 and 31 are two maps i won't forget. Great soundtracks and maps. Hope for more wads like this one. 5/5 no doubt.

For me this is one of the best wads for many years. All the new designs work perfectly the monsters are actually an improvement on IDs in my opinion. I could go on but I suggest you try for yourself. I did all 32 levels without saving on HMP and some of them took me days and days such is the quality. I personally got more value from this wad than I would from a $100 Xbox/PS4 title and for that I say thanks. Well done.

After having just played Resurgence, standards were high, but this was as impressive. Just play this great wad. It's brilliant. 5 stars. -TRRobin.

I generally like Skillsaw's stuff but this was just a giant bucket of meh for me. The shoehorned Dehacked fuckery felt unnecessary, even on ITYTD the difficulty feels unfair (I could just suck at Doom tho :v), and death exits in ANY wad bother the piss out of me. The levels are pretty tho. I'll likely only try this again if there's a patch that reverts the Dehacked stuff back to vanilla weapons and monsters.

This is amazing, there is so much variety and quality here. This is one of those special few megawads that is sure to have something for every doomer out there. Still amazed at how doom community continues to produce releases that can beat most modern commercial games in game design department.

Valiant is what Doom 4 should have aspired to be.

Fantastic mapset. The combats are excellent, the new monsters and weapons make gameplay more interesting and fun, the visuals are top-notch, and the music and graphics only make things better. One of the best megawads I remember playing.

Certainly the best megawad of these last years. Skillsaw made a monstrous work. I'm only disappointed by the end : I expected masterful Endpic. The author doesn't have to prove anything, but one can expect surprises :) fF.

"But I do agree with Getsu Fune that it has been overhyped due to the team of superfriends" I never said a thing about that. the playtesters are all cool people (except for Tarnsman). I had a lot of trouble just playing this on ITYTD and also I cannot use any type of mod while playing this, not even sound replacements. this mapset is really freaking hard for me without cheating. best maps were 12, 17, and 28.

Excellent work here. I particularly like that I can use Eternity to play this.

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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

      The Revenant Problem

      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.
