About This File

This is the sequel to my old megawad "Scythe". Expect better looking and bigger levels. unfortunately, the last 3 levels are missing, because I am so lazy and I haven't been satisfied with my attempts at making map28. I _might_ release the last 3 maps some time in the future, but do not count on it. (Update: the last 3 maps are now completed!)

The last three levels are among the best I've seen. The time Erik had to think about what he wanted to do with them really shows. 5/5 (Surprisingly, MAP30's music is underwhelming despite how careful Scythe 2 was with its selections. Try IDMUS28, that song suits the level a lot more!)

Even though I liked the original Scythe better. I still think this is a brilliant addon. I was really amazed with the Final Level (27) a huge castle on the edge of hell. All the levels were fairly well designed and the later ones pack some extremley hard challenges (almost Hell Revealed in difficulty). A Recommended Download at must! 5/5. -PC

This is my abosulte favorite wad so far Even if it is too hard for me to complete :P From the moment I heard "Temple of Love" in the first level I knew it was going to be amazing Congrats Erik, I can barely wait for Scythe X to be complete :D

Clearly 5/5 material, and one of the best wads of recent years. I agree with Belial that it isn't a true sequel to Scythe, and some of the early maps were even a bit disappointing (relatively speaking). Kama Sutra probably edges it out for wad of the year so far, IMO. Being edged out by KS is no disgrace though.

Excellent! There is 2 downsides of this though... I cannot complete map 25 unless i cheat or enable "couch" to the game (which is not suppose to be used in Doom) Last 3 maps missing! 4 Stars.

The best wad I have ever seen. The last few levels are unfair, though :) 5/5

Excellent work throughout. I loved the last 5 levels or so very much, lots of intense action. This megawad gave very good amounts of challenge and thinking. One could notice that the author had used a lot of time on each level and on planning the fights. It was a very good idea to split the megawad into smaller episodes. Very good amounts of detail as well and the final level surely gave a good fight, one of the best there has been for me. :D 5 Stars *****

Certainly one of the greatest mapsets ever made. The last 3 are awesome, so it's nice that erik got some inspiration to finish them. The wad is also chock full of legendary music selections. Even though I haven't played every single map, I'm not going to let it just sit on my HD and gather dust; I will finish those maps soon.

Love this wad. Possibly even better than the original Scythe. Map27 = Best Doom music ever. Sounds like freakin' Keith Emerson!

Awesome level set. Didn't like episode V as much as the others because it was the vastly overdone Hell Revealed style gameplay, but it still looked cool. Everything else was fantastic, fantastic-looking throughout and great gameplay everywhere but episode V. Awesome. 5/5

This is one of the best wads I have ever played so far. The mapping is pretty good, gameplay is fun and challenging, most musics are awesome (anyone knows where I can find their names by the way?) and secrets are smart. Egyptian and hellish maps are my favorite. 5/5

This wad is tied with Equinox as my personal favorite ever. These levels are not only really attractive, they're also barrels of fun to play. The last map is so good it makes me feel all warm inside. 80 smajillion/5

I loved Scythe, but it wasn't nearly as epic as this is. Forgotten City is impossible to finish without doing idclip at the very end, but other than that and the missing level bullshit this is absolutely impeccable. 6/5

      Great WAD, solidly nails that fantasy castle crawling feeling, not too rough on the player nor overly stingy/generous on supplies, encourages good use of items, plenty of navigation and switch puzzles as is apt for Heretic, but also lets loose with a little slaughter.   Some areas could use slightly brighter lighting, and sometimes the next switch or door isn't signalled too well, but overall a fun and feisty fantasy fight fest.

      These levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this is a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.

      A really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.

      Only six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay.   EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.

      Lots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches.   Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.
