Scythe 2. Version 2

The only possible controversial parts here are the turn to slaughterfest maps in the home stretch and the sometimes-annoying Plasma Marines that appear later on. Some will not mind either; others may mind both. The first 20-22 levels, aside from one or two (09 and 16 perhaps), should be just about a universal pleaser. I even enjoyed the slaughtery end myself. The super secret level is great and even if it goes to a BFG fest much of the time it's really what ID should have done for Warrens IMO. 5/5

A classic hard MW. Don't let the innocent gameplay early on fool you, it'll become merciless as you'll climb up to the last 2 episodes. Scythe didn't impress me, if you didn't like it, forget it, this one is a completely different levelset. I also liked the changes in layout to prevent the boredom. My fav was the final map in hell with it's epic feel and grand battles. Pure dooming. 5/5 -TeH NeXuS

This Rocks!!!!!!!

yeah! 5/5

O_O 5/5 -Afrit

Almost perfect. I don't even care that it's not a complete 32-map set. (Okay, I do...but still, 5/5 no question)

This wad's insane... Levels 11-20 are probably my favorite stretch of Doom maps of all-time. Challenging, fun, and with fantastic layouts... what more can I say?

Looks amazing, but sadly becomes average to play. The later maps are tedious works of holding down 'fire' and taking obscene numbers of Cell Packs/Megaspheres. One of the WADs responsible for the now-standard style of making something 'challenging' by adding a load of enemy/ammo spam, instead of being creative or unique by rationing supplies and featuring decent traps. Because fuck interesting and fun gameplay, we'll toss a BFG9000 and 20,000 ammo among a few thousand monsters at a time, several times.

5/5 - Logan MTM

Only Goes Better With Las 3 maps! legendary !

I liked this more than scythe1. The only thing I don't like about both Scythes is that the last 10 levels are always fucking stupid. I personally don't care for running around like a maniac firing my bfg, running after cell charges, and loading and saving constantly, only to be cornered by some ridiculous amounts of barons of hell or revenants. Like c'mon. You have to keep it more interesting than that. Level design+detail is always good but the maps past map20 are always a waste of space. Still 5*

Great fun! 4/5 - I only give it the 4/5 beacuse scythe 1 is one of my all time fav's, and that'd be damn hard to top otherw ise it'd 5/5. But still, this is a cracking good play. Compared to some of the other, new, more recent megawads, this comes top for me! Damn good job! Adz123 ; )

One of best megawads ever - Hope Erik is gonna finish remaining maps soon... :-))) Method

Bloody hell you see that guy looks like afrit is joining the fight

This is more of a spiritual successor than a direct sequal for me. Because of that, it is not as good as the original. The detail level, style and gameplay is so far removed from the original and the lack of a true ending because of the missing levels in this release bring the score down. However, it has a charm to it that keeps you coming back for more, just like the original, and the gameplay is tight and enjoyable. Recommended, albeit slightly disappointing sequal. 4/5 stars.

Great, fun and detailed maps. It's a pity maps 28, 29, and 30 haven't been finished. Hope Erik completes it someday. 5 stars -soft_haxorz

The full version is legendary 5/5

4 stars because Scythe one is my all time favorite wad. i loved ut cause it was like a constant sock to the gut- fast, powerful. scythe 2 is marvelous... but its big! scythe was just BAM hard hitting level. BAM another hard hitting level. you get in, take your lumps, and go on to the next level.

HOLY SHIT!! this is amazing

best megawad ever, now go finish the last three maps. 5/5 - essel

Awesome megawad - the variety of scenery and the design of levels is gorgeous. Manages to be hard and challenging without falling down to almost-unplayable-HR 2 style, if not for the "version 2" added levels. 5* anyway -- rsl

A little boring. Otherwise great, oh and the lag on the later levels with 500+ monsters. 4/5

You know you love it. 5/5

Wait a sec, a review hasn't been made since the day after it came out? What is this? 5/5

Very nice mapset. The episode seperation is a great idea, as it allows for variety and consistency at the same time. Level designs are overall well done. Highly Recommended However, I have 2 problems with this mapset. 1, the new enemies were very unfair and fucking annoying >_>. and 2, the majority of the last 8 or so levels went a little bit over the top with the difficulty. Pretty much after completing the first four eps on UV, I recommend switching to HMP for the last two.
