About This File

12 Boom format levels for PrBoom+, ZDoom, or Eternity. A bonus 13th level is included for laughs. Inspired by Speed of Doom, Scythe 2, Alien Vendetta, and Plutonia.

Originally Vanguard was intended to be a 32-level speedmapped megawad inspired by Speed of Doom's development cycle and Scythe 2's episodic structure.

This is about as close to a perfect release as they come. Doomworld needs a 6-star rating because Lunatic is easily 5 stars in my view yet even that can hardly compare to this. 5(6)/5 - MegaDoomer

A most excellent map set indeed. Thoroughly recommended. The only shame is that there aren't 32 maps here. 5/5 dwrTag

my god, the last review I did for this was toxic as fuck. anyways, Vanguard is a fairly strong set that, according to what I'm seeing here, has managed to garner a boatload of attention. and playing it shows why, it's how modern maps honestly should be made, harder than the original IWADs, themed episodically, and fun on the whole. while there are some hiccups, like I'm not keen on the Tyson map or MAP07, and slaughtermap haters will hate the end-of-episode levels, the fun factor remains consistent throughout. it's challenging to plow through, but it's the right kind of challenge, and that's why it's a great wad.

This WAD is a fantastic achievement and another reason to become a fan of Skillsaw. Truly challenging, varied, attractive and eminently playable maps with an extremely high level of polish. Absolutely essential.

A fantastic map set - lots of fun with a nicely ramping difficulty progression. Sublime visuals and a nice episodic structure combine with the music, theming, shorter map set and solid gameplay to produce a distilled megawad, in effect. I rather enjoyed the bonus MAP13 too! 5* -Phobus

As a map pack, it's pretty damn good, the maps are wonderful, filled with well places monsters and puzzles, interesting level design and the music makes it even better, A must play

Overall good architecture, great decoration, mostly very nice ambiance. But then: gameplay @ UV starts slow, gets much better, then sadly turns into slaughtermap, with map10 reaching the lower limit with plain hopelessly monster placement. Overall: 5 for the maps and 3 for the gameplay makes 4/5, so very good but far from legendary because of the gameplay.

I don't know how I haven't rated this wad yet, but better late than never. Map02 is an example of THE perfect Doom map in my eyes - it's length, difficulty, and nonlinear design mesh incredibly well with the theme and music to create a lush, playable experience that changes ever-so-slightly every time you replay it. Needless to say, the wad as a whole ranks as one of my all-time favorites and is completely worth the download. 5/5 for sure -Snakes

      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.
