Heroes 2

A really fun megawad made of compilations from third parties (hence it can't get 5 stars), but also from Al Dewey, especially the more puzzling levels. As usual with compilations, the difficulty isn't linear, and no level is like the other.

 

Most of the music is either common third-party stuff spread over the Internet in the 90s, or cool stuff by Mark Klem. Sounds are also commonly replaced, presumably from other commercial games and movies. I find it interesting how similar the new Imp hisses screams are to the new Doom imps.

Overall, is kinda fun megawad, but the switch hunt on some maps just tends to make you lose patience from time to time.

The sounds replacements are not terrible, but also don't apport much to make the gameplay feel different.

Al really knows how to pick his maps. This megawad is highly recommended for anyone who loves classic style doom levels, cuz these maps are fun and are pretty good looking for the time they were made. I dunno, it might make you feel that 90s levels are the best :)

I replayed this wad recently and i just said can this wad is nice. MAP11, MAP23, MAP24 and MAP31 are the best IMHO. 4 stars from Daimon.

ok thair are a few maps that arnt so good but most of them are awsom! these ARE good qality maps with great musick iv ben playing this magawad for years infact i thank it was my first won this ranks top noch on my scale and i hope it will on yours to

Another 'oldie collection' wad, this one is a bit better than some, like Doom 32. Still definitely very hit/miss though. Worth a quick look.

Average, but worth playing wad, especially for notstaligia hunters. Not a bad journey into Hell. 3/5

Unsolvable except in coop. Zero.

best wad ever

This is dated February 1996. It's problematic; a compilation of levels from 1994-96 that "AL" has edited, whether the original designers wanted it or not, and he's also added a cacophonous, irritating sound replacement. It has some textfiles, but it doesn't tell you which level is which. On the other hand the levels are often very good, although easier than they should be unless you pistol start. No structure though (e.g. Map30 is no harder than Map02).

i discovered this wad on a pc gamer disk WAY back. And remember enjoyiong the extra-ordinary difficulty, and novelty of the levels. exelent work !

This is a a very decent Megawad. I love it.

If you would like to have a journey into the past, go for this one. If you want quality maps, look somewhere else. The best about this wad: There are worse.

Good fun, classic experience. I enjoyed it. ~vf

Still a classic decades later. Excellent music, excellent maps that are very original. STRONGLY recommended.
