Scythe

I agree with the reviewer 3 times above me. Ep 1 is (too) easy even on skill 4, Ep 2 was challenging, Ep 3 is pure madness. Overall, except map19, 29, 30, the levels are too small in my taste, I went through Ep 1 & 2 in something like 3 hours or so. I had to jump to complete map 28 and to access the BFG9000 secret area in map29. Map 30 is the hardest Doom map I ever played (skill 4), never had a chance to complete it. Despite that, I must admit that the gameplay is fun. 4/5. ~Naan

music 3, levels 3, visuals 4. worth playing, 3.5/4 starz fer u -David

Impressive, though some levels were a bit repetitive. Worth the playthrough though, 3/5.

Awesome maps, I had a lot of fun playing this. -essel

first megawad I played after the original DooM games.definitely good for honing one's skills.learn to kill or go play something else![I'm still here!] 5/5-d.d.koop

Not as epic or as beautiful as Scythe II, but my god these levels were FUN. I don't think I've ever played a megawad that's so enjoyable to sit and play through as this is. The very last map was insane and I think strayed too much from what makes Scythe great, but everything else is just incredible. Absolute 5/5

Click on a download link on the right, lul BTW this wad is excellentae

Level 30 is just mind-blowing.

This wad is legendary. I loved every part of it!

Great Job! I enjoy playing lvl 19, 23 and 26 all the time! and the music is awesome! 5/5!

Everything is perfect, except alignment error at map 10

AAAAAAAH INCERDIBLY GREAAAAAAT

5/5 BABY!

One day short of a decade old, and this is still quite probably the best 'short and sweet' megawad out there. There are a few maps thrown in to please fans of larger, more epic levels but those are mostly the last two and it's makes for a memorable and fitting end to the game anyways. If 40-level megawads were doable, Scythe X would be a great addition to this as well. As it stands I just wish X will be worked on again someday!

I enjoyed this map, could have had more detail in in though.

Very good work indeed. I really enjoyed playing this, the level design and gameplay is superb.

When Scythe 2 was released a few weeks ago, I almost forgot how great a wad this is. I'd been anticipating the sequel for nearly a year, and I rushed onto it immediately when it appeared in the archives. But I have to admit, looking back to it, this is still an excellent wad even with Scythe 2 out. Great for those who don't like spending a long time on levels, yet still want a fantastic quality game (maps 19, 29, and 30 are larger levels though). 5 star material.

Cramped fights are not my cup of tea, but this WAD somehow manages to make them acceptable, if not entertaining at certain points. Not bad at all. -Maceo89

I still secretly play this megawad on a weekly basis because of how awesome its still is even after being nearly 10 years old already. Also still my favorite megawad of all time ;)

These were some fun little maps .Nice gameplay . Rick88

I strongly do not agree with the reviewer one nor four times above me. The set was not meant to be really hard right from the start and nor was it meant to take really long to play. Thus this criticism is highly disliked. The set is great and well worth 5 stars (even though Scythe II is even better IMO).

This is a simply amazing mapset. The way the difficulty ramps up is really dynamic, while the entire mapset stays stays loyal to its simplistic style. 5 stars

A good megawad, but could of been better.

Legendary in every sense of the word! When you consider it's all Erik behind all but one map, you can't help but to be amazed and in awe of this guy's talents. Addictive as hell gameplay and compact well designed levels makes a classic wad for all time. This is well deserving of 5 stars. -TRRobin.

A nice set of mostly cute, small, focused maps. Very well designed and flowing. There are a couple of weaker maps (map18, map28), and the difficulty takes a surprising leap towards the end.
