Wads that mainly take place in hell?

[Lovin'TheDemonSlaughter]

Hello Doomworld, so I've always really liked the design and atmosphere of the hell levels in Doom and Doom 2, so I was wondering, is there any good wads or megawads that take place primarily in hell?

The first Threshold of Pain has mostly Hell maps, and they are excellent. The wad starts out in dark techbases and then moves to Hell for the remainder of the experience.

 

Also Eviternity has a great Hell episode. The episodes are pistol started so you can just jump to that episode if you're only interested in the Hell maps.

 

For single maps, Hurt and Bastion of Chaos have a nice hellish atmosphere. I'll update or bump when I think of more.

First Deus Vult. Starts techbasey then goes hellish fast.

Resurgence has a lot of those.

Survive in Hell has a good portion of maps themed in doom red textures and hell skies, with a little high difficulty if you're not familiar with the Hell Revealed family-tributes tree. If you are curious, skill levels are implemented, so choose wisely.

 

Incineration replaces Inferno in doom 1, mostly flavored like the original maps, easy-going gameplay if that's what you're looking for.

 

Garrulismo last chunk of maps (21-30) are worth looking at if you want doom 2 hell aesthetics and difficulty. 

 

KINDa should be appealing for the same reason as Garrulismo, as it has somewhat similar design choices. It's a very recent megawad and it was tested only in gzdoom. You can check this gallery of screenshots.

AFTER DOOM

This one follows the end of Knee Deep in Hell, when you enter the portal and it becames dark and you're surrounded by demons.

I've played one of the early versions of the map, and I guess the map has new sections since then (haven't played again).

Also, HURT

This one is in my to-play list, and it looks gorgeous:

^Just redownloaded "After Doom".  There are now three maps, each taking place after the EXM8 final battles.  So now we get to go somewhere after fighting the Cyberdemon and Mastermind as well.
