Description:	Legacy of Heroes is a Boom compatible episode for Doom 2 with 11 levels. The maps use the textures from Eternal Doom and the themes for the most are fantasy oriented. The maps also feature a more adventurous style and the level progression was made to make feel the episode like a continuous journey. Some levels are very long and all of them were desgned with pistol starts in mind. The last level has a custom dehacked boss. This is the first wad I started to work on it, the development started in March 2015 and ended in October 2016 though works weren't continuous.

Reviews:

SFoZ911	Very impressive both in visuals and gameplay, great styling and moody atmosphere. Very recommended and one of the best 2016 releases. Great work!	x
trrobin	Excellent grand level design and atmosphere through all the levels of which only get better and even more enjoyable as you progress. Really reminds me of what I loved about Eternal Doom. 5 stars well deserved. Much recommended.	x
Zalewa	MAP09 is a library. And there are many bookshelves. And one of those bookshelves, which is the same as all the others, must be pressed in order to beat the map. Good luck with that! Apart from that - pretty and pretty fun, excellent visuals and continuous action (apart from MAP09). Definitely a must-play.	x

                          The last level has a custom dehacked boss.
                          This is the first wad I started to work on it, the
                          development started in March 2015 and ended in
                          October 2016 though works weren't continuous.

Story                   : Along with its experiments on the teleportation, 
                          the UAC on Earth started to make studies and
                          experiments on the time travel. One of the oldest
                          bases that was shut down and ready to be disbanded 
                          after being too unsuccessful for the researches
                          suddenly started to work on its own. A mysterious
                          force from the other side took control of the time
                          gate and from there it started a hellspawn invasion. 
                          Breaching into the infested base you are able to 
                          reach the time gate, but it can't be sealed from
                          there. The only thing you can do is to step
                          into the time gate...
