EPIC 2

Can't fault the layouts at all, but the constant use of Revenants and inexplicably cheap encounters quickly turns this one into a chore. 3/5

Great Atmosphere. A challenging and gripping wad that pulls you in and doesn't let you go. 5/5

A bit too much of switch hunting at times, but the levels are good.

Great job, too bad you have to noclip to beat map 14. What was up with those silly elemental symbols that didn't do anything? Also didn't appreciate how monsters were constantly appearing in front, behind, above and below me out of nowhere for no discernible reason. Annoying. 5 stars -2 = 3 stars from me. -wavelength

Does not measure up to the greatness of Epic 1. Architecture is improved, but gameplay is so-so, ranging from obnoxious cheap ambushes in the early maps to tedious slaughtermaps to sprawling, head-smashingly complicated Eternal Doom-style maps (map28 appears to be a remake of The Dark Dome from Eternal Doom, only with the switches even harder to find). Also it's just too damn long for the themes and ideas it presents. 3/5 --Woolie

EPIC as hell. I should give it 5 but due I got boring totally on later huge killing levels(Map26-29),tha t's just shame but maybe it's my problem... :p But this shit still a masterpiece...yeah, it is definitely. 4.5/5 -playerlin (Well, it still a 5 due the voting system of doomworld! XD)

One of the very very best mega WADs I've seen so far, and I've played hundreds of levels at least. All new textured, the egyptian and alien themes make the feeling within the levels so different. And the author used some cool tweaks within the DOOM engine to create wonderful architecture. Only the last 2 levels (#29 + #30) are too monster loaded so I skipped them.

I got bored. The gameplay is boring and the texture usage is bland. The adventure/puzzle elements only make it more boring.

Very good. Enjoying it quite a bit so far :) - Blue Devil

Atmospheric, kept me playing more than most.

oh yeah, played UV with prboom-gl -turbo 255. It is probably very much more lethal without the turbo, what with all the rockets, revenant and vile blasts...

play this!!!

OMG, my favorite mapper delivers once again! The opening of level one Just says it all, doesn't it? The atmosphere is so incredible, the placement of everything - including the vases - is impeccable. The pacing is masterful - fast and slow - the battles are surprising, the rooms are varied. And I've only played the first two levels - can't wait to go further! Just wow, wow, wow, wow, and I'm a harder critic than most people. Thank you very much and best wishes. 6/5.

Excellent - PFL

Loved it. Absolutely one of my top five favorite megawads. If you're a seasoned doom veteran and know how to strafe you'll be fine. Just have quicksave handy. The level architecture is gorgeous, no lying. 5 out of 5 stars!

a good megawad that kept me playing right till the end. 4/5

In my opinion this is actually more fun if you use the ZDaemon survival server and maybe get another player or two to come along as regenerating items really does some work in fixing the frustrating gameplay elements. 3.5/5 in solo and 4.25/5 on ZDaemon Survival servers = 3.875/5 rounded up to 4/5 overall. BTW today's the 1 year anniversary of the first release and I wonder if Eternal will pump out his western themed project to mark it! Nov 23, 2011 - MegaDoomer

amazing work 5/5

Fuck yeah, this wad is an atmospheric masterpiece! Best DooM 2 wad released this year for sure. Gameplay is challenging as hell and starts getting insane on UV in the last few levels. So HMP is reccommended for casual DooMers. Anyway, 5/5 from me. - DeathevokatioN

Well done. It'll surely take place in my collection of wads. 4/5, SKP.

Interesting gameplay but a serious lack of ammo, at least in the first levels. I ran out at lvl 4 or 5.

Pretty darn good.

Wow! One of the best wads this year definitely. Up there with Speed of Doom. Atmosphere is great (which I was worried I wouldn't like), difficulty is high, plays a bit like plutonia (except for the last few maps, they're like Hell Revealed). Anyway, 5 stars from me for making me use actual strategy to get through fights. -DH85

Not as good as his more abstract works (eden.wad or Thirty two inch nails...or Hellground) but still a great set.4/5

Thanks man, I never get bored here!
