Enjay Zdoom 2001

If this was the 2001 year I would rate this 5/5. But in 2022 this wad is nothing but a lame retro.

 

I got the feeling that this wad was trying to showcase the advanced Zdoom capabilities rather than trying to create a

good game play, and even with the advanced features the design still feels flat!

 

HMP or lower players will probably enjoy this as it is a below average difficulty with plenty of ammo/items.

 

I wanted to rate this 2.5/5 stars, but since half star cannot be selected I rated it 3 stars.

We really need to be able to select half a star in rating.

 

 

I had a blast with this one! There wasn't a single map I didn't enjoy as all the maps were well crafted, the fights were nice and there're some minor ZDOOM features added on the maps (like diving into the water among other things). The difficulty is easy to a experienced player but it's very fun. I recommended this wad to those that want a more relaxed gameplay.
 

to this day Enjay's Doom wads still hold up, despite being really old. Enjay Zdoom 2001 puts some ZDoom features into the old levels, but doesn't overdo it. it helps that the original maps themselves are fun, classic Doom action levels with no real drawbacks, the levels are medium-sized with decent progression. what the ZDoom set does use is colored lighting, ambient sound effects, particles, fog, but uses them sparingly and gives only a tad of atmosphere, and that's really all they need. there's a few new monsters like a gray imp and the rifle trooper which replaces the SS, but also doesn't overuse either of them. really, this one is easily replayable and still fun.

Kewl! Something to measure other WADs of the time by. Deserves more credit than it gets.

^ A good wad is a good wad, no matter *what* year it's released. Speaking of which.. 4/5.

Not quite as good as Marine Assault, but still a kick-ass wad. High quality, with decent scipting and consistent styles. 5/5 --Illogically.inclin ed

un fucking believeable, boodsplats on the ground, some beautiful story, it's like sonic doom and legacy 5/5 so friggin awsome

This is the full, final manifestation/versio n of what started out as a set of unusually good levels for 1994. It really should be a classic IMO and how these maps were NEVER mentioned in the Top 100 feature for Doom's 10th birthday, not once in their eight years of upgrading from 1994-2001, is beyond me.

It has really good gameplay, but it is quite easy. Some nice use of zdoom features. Lack of detail on other side. 3,5/5 would be right. - Damned

the best! Totally underrated!

Could been better, the first part and all was kinda of boring after killing all the enemies, the ending itself was fantastic, so much adrenaline and a cool ending. Polish the begin a bit and put a bigger story into it.

very bland looking

these levels are right from quake - DOOMMAN98

Perfectly fucked! 5/5

^^A lot of them ARE polished 1994 maps, but far more than slightly! You can find the base to many of the levels in his non-ZDoom megawad either for Doom I or II. Not Enjay ZDoom (without the 2001), as that (excluding the secret levels) as that already had most of the 'polishing' done. A few of the 1994 levels were completely dumped for new levels in the conversion to from Enjay Doom II --> Enjay ZDoom, but sparing the secret levels the rough layouts from Enjay ZDoom and this are the same.

The Greatest

1994 superb. 2001 Okay. 2011 poor. Feels like slightly polished 1994 maps. 3/5

^Um, only the first level is right from Quake. Anyways, quite fun wad. 5/5

kicks ass

really good, i like the focus on imps and former humans instead of the "bigger" monsters most doom 2 wads do. the added monsters compliment the standard set very well unlike most wads also. One of the most fun wads ive played through 5/5
