Heretic: The Mysteries of Underville
By Guest
With D'Sparil slain and his bodyguard Maulotaurs defeated you step into a portal not knowing if it sends you home or to another twisted world. You are not scared of what you will find as you have witnessed horrors far beyond your wildest imagination. Will you have to fight for the rest of your life? So be it. At least you will die proud of yourself, of what have you achieved. The light around you fades out and you crouch into a fighting position with your wand pointed forward, ready to dispose of yet another bloodthirsty demon. But there is no foul beast in sight. All you can see is a familiar mountain range you have passed through countless times in the past when travelling with your Sidhe brothers and sisters. There's no mistaking it - this is your world, Parthoris. You are back. You're starting to get overwhelmed with joy when you suddenly realize that the only way to overcome those mountains is getting through Underville, an ancient underground village formerly inhabited by a powerful clan of Ogle miners. When the Serpent Riders arrived and began plundering the world the village of Underville was one of their first targets. As an important strategic point in war, it was swarmed by D'Sparil's minions and conquered soon afterwards. Nobody was left alive. Beaten in battle or executed with no mercy all miners were quickly disposed of and the village was turned into a bastion of evil. After that there was no one who could tell what they did to the place. Even coming near the entrance meant swift and ruthless death. There is no way around it. You have to fight again. D'Sparil's curse is following you like a shadow seemingly never to leave you alone. You embrace your destiny, whatever it is, and determined to end it once and for all you make your steps forward.

Sosuria
By Guest
Sosuria is a proud, peaceful village on the island of Khshayarsha, full of life and hospitality. That is, until one day an evil sorcerer ransacked the land with his army, taking most of the goods and resources for himself and turning the island into an uninhabitable volcanic landscape. Legend has it that a mythical being of wonder dwells in Sosuria's largest and most prominent building, the Temple of the Ancients. It is said that this creature has the ability to turn back time and undo the evil that was dealt to the village. There is only one way to find out if this is true...
This is a map I made for SOSU's birthday, which was on the 12th. Limit-removing, 312 monsters on all skill levels, although some do change as well as the locations of many items. This is my first Heretic map.

Heretic Upstart Mapping Project (HUMP)
By Guest
The Heretic Upstart Mapping project was made to get people into mapping for heretic. It includes many maps by people who had never mapped for heretic before, and some older maps that authors had never published.
NOTE: All maps are designed to be wand-started. They have been arranged roughly in order of difficulty, so continuous play will also work. To wand start: When you enter a map, type "engageXY" where X is the episode number and Y is the map number given below (So type engage11 for E1M1). This will restart the level with only your wand, staff and no items. Jumping and Crouching have been disabled in this wad. You will not be needing them.
Maps Included (17):

Map: E3M1 Name: Ophidian Temple Autor: Rolo Music: Heretic MUS_E3M1, by Kevin Schilder
Story: The servants of Korax, D'Sparil and Eidolon swept through Parthoris, wracking your homeland and murdering your kin. You fought valiantly, but as your city was overrun you were captured and imprisoned with many others, to be turned to golems or executed if the flesh was not willing. Waiting in your cell you saw the foul methods that were used on your brethren. Surely it would be your turn soon... The day all but yourself had perished or turned to the dark wills, a portal opened briefly in your prison cell. A small wand and staff dropped out, the portal immediately closing behind. To your astonishment, the means of escape lay at your feet. You praised who or whatever had sent help, tucking the wand into your belt and grasping the staff, you prepared yourself for what lay ahead...
Title slate and Title music: HexenMapper
Note that E1M5, E1M6 and E2M2 may not be finishable in Doomsday as they require boss actions to lower floors. Currently we haven't been able to work out the current boss action definitions for Doomsday. Any help would be appreciated. Likewise if anyone knows how to get heretic to display par times in the intermission we would also love to hear from you. You can email me at: thespidersrepublic@hotmail.com

Max Saga: The Doom Dragon
By Guest
Cursed by a petty god for your insolence, you are doomed to wander space and time, battling supernatural evils for the god's amusement. In ancient Scandinavia, the Ravendark Cult has assembled in their cavernous keep: there they shall awaken the legendary Midgard Serpent and command it to do their bidding, with the help of a forbidden tome that is locked away in the festering heart of the stronghold. A clever adventurer would make clever use of the cult's trove of stolen artifacts, in order to relieve them of their precious summoning book.

HYMN: A Heretic Community Project
By Guest
HYMN is a Doomworld community project for Heretic. It is a 9 level episode that features custom textures. HYMN should be compatible with most modern Boom and ZDoom related ports, as well as Doomsday, but has an emphasis on 'vanilla' style mapping.

Refuge of the Marshlord
By Guest
This was originally designed as a part of the Second Heretic Speedmapping session, but after I finished the map I realised they demanded Deathmatch-maps, so this map did not fit into the project. Years later, I found it on my harddrive again and after playing it I thought it was not that bad and worth a release. Of course it is a speedmap and a just a very small level, but I think it is still fun. But just try it ;) A Mapinfo file is included, other than that, the Map does not use any ZDoom features. I recommend playing this with GZDoom, the fog effect just looks cooler then.

Heretic - Dark Deity's Bastion
By Guest
This map replaces E1M1 of HERETIC. It has been tested to be beatable in all difficulty levels. I even tested it myself on "Black Plague" and can confirm that it can be finished (albeit with a LOT of save/loads).
I have disabled crouching and jumping, because their use can and will break the level. Also, I recommend going to options > display options > message options, and setting "scale text in hi res" to on, because there will be messages that you need to read in order to finish the level. If you have trouble with the puzzles, even after viewing the messages, scroll down to the bottom of this text file for the solutions.

Where Serpents ever Dwell
By Guest
Story: After the lifeless bodies of D'sparils body guards crumble and fall to the ground, for the first time in ages you feel a sense a sense of relief... as you enter the portal that finally takes you... home?
This is a challenging map for Heretic, and your gonna need to keep moving as well as taking full advantage of artifacts if you want to survive.
I decided to touch up on an old map, add a few areas and release so that it didn't just gather dust on my hard drive. I might release another bigger, and more epic Heretic map in the future to go alongside this one, but we'll see how things go. :)

By Cottonmouth0309 · PostedOne of the more underrated doom mods out there. The levels have a lot of detail and great use of 3D sectors, used for railings and other things. Not a lot of mods that I know of has these attentions to detail back then other than KDiZD. I like how the first gun, not weapon, first gun in the mod is a quad barreled shotgun. This might be bias but I don't see any other mods or games give the player a quad barreled shotgun as a starter weapon.
The cutscenes and artwork used for them are REALLY well made. I like its story and the protagonist John Logan. His design looks like a cross between Daniel Garners from Painkiller and the Doom Marine from well, Doom 3.
Speaking of Painkiller, the mod uses tracks from Painkiller, which is a nice touch. Admittedly, there are things in Legacy of Suffering that I don't like, such as the Painkiller/Serious Sam arena wave sections. Not all of them are bad, but the later levels that uses them are the worst offenders. Often spawning mancubi, pain elementals, and revenants that just makes the fights more tedious.
DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS AHEAD
END OF SPOILERS:
In conclusion, Legacy of Suffering is a really well made mod and I really want other people to try it out. I would suggest to start on the easiest difficulty, do NOT get fooled by the normal difficulty Ultra Violence, it will kick your ass, and anything higher will probably break your soul. Other than that, I would highly recommend you to play this mod. It can be played on GZDoom, Zandronum, and Skulltag. That is the end of the review, have a nice day :) -

By Bitofu · PostedNothing better than baiting the Bazooka Man into blowing himself up! Obituary doesn't pull any punches; you'll be facing tons of hitscanners and plenty of nasty traps, but you'll get to appreciate the fine work the Möller brothers did with this WAD. The maps are intricately designed with a judicious use of textures, some of them custom-made. The new array of weapons is great, especially the flamethrower, which can shred down a cyberdemon in seconds! The low point might be the plain secret map and icon of sin fight, but overall, Obituary strikes home more often than not.

By Michael Jensen · PostedIn recent years, general opinon of MM seemed to move towars negative, moreso than any other classic 90's megawad. It's nice to see it recieve some positive attention and even though I'm not exactly a reviewer, I figured I'd join in. Aside from couple rough maps, it remains a great experience today. Generally good and varied vanilla visuals with beautiful highlights like Maps 05, 13, 14 and 21, certainly helped by some great, really cool custom textures, which fit in with the classic ones incredibly well, much better than any other 90's custom stuff (aside from Eternal Doom, but that's a completely different aesthetic). The maps are quite varied without the whole thing becoming incosistent/all over the place and the variety really helps blaze through the whole thing. In comparison, while I prefer MM2 in terms of individual levels, it has a ton of long or similar maps back to back, which can get tiring and take much longer to geth through. Another aspect of MM I really like is some really, unique and fun design choices, or even whole map designs that you don't see much these days for some reason. The Innocent Crew's maps especially are very creative in fun and refreshing ways. Incredibly underrated mappers. Literally everyone knows this already, but Mark Klem's music is amazing. -
By Amaruψ · PostedThis could've been one of the first 32 level megawads that I played after completing the base games. I've played many more since then, and I can honestly say, for a megawad dating back to 1996, it still holds up brilliantly against a lot of modern wads. Also @DoomGuy999, about that criticism about maps being coop exclusive... "Most levels were made for co-op play, all levels are playable alone as well." Not exactly sure what you were expecting after having an explicit statement right there.
