Hell Awakened...

Hard as fuck, if you're playing on UV be prepared to memorize everything.

Pros: 32 levels - 4/5. Cons: quite often very rectangular, very little architecture variation, often very crampy. Imho gameplay (UV) does not really benefit from an overdosis pain elementals & arch-viles, way too many monster popups, and too much darkness. This is not my idea of gameplay, so 2/5. Overall: 3/5 for the efford, thanks for making this megawad anyway.

A good megawad which I quite enjoyed, some of the traps were a bit harsh and even though I played on HMP it was still a rough ride. Could have been improved a lot by the simple addition of secrets and music, also small things like changing the level names on the end level screens and adding a titlepic. Still I would recommend a playthrough to anyone who has some time to kill - 3/5

Very interesting mix of tech and hell.

I tried a random map and map20 has missing textures under gzdoom and zdoom. Looks ordinary.

0/1 - WADs without titlepics are shit Suck my dick, death dealer. Get out of out your mom's basement and get a life, you fucking moron. Jesus. Wanker.

Violent. Brutal. Fucking Hard. Playing on UV provides one of the hardest challenges in Wads everywhere. Map design is decent but could of been better. 4/5

no titlepic? 5/5

5/5 for NOT including a half-assed titlepic replacement like so many other WADs.

enjoyable set of maps, it's surely worth a look

Author here, a patch is coming soon. Bugs have been found and I need to touch up some things. Sorry for the inconvience. Look for the update in about 4 weeks as HA_FIX.zip. Also look for the full updated version.

^The lack of a titlepic is a really stupid reason to give a wad such a low rating. I haven't played the whole megawad, but from the few maps I played it seems pretty decent. 3/5

Author here, patch is out. Be sure to check for HAv2!

no titlepic? - 0/5

In terms of gameplay (UV) it's got rather poor ammo and health balance and some quite frustrating moments. But I could stand it if there was something worth looking at, but it's nothing special. Squarish and corridor-oriented design with constantly repeating ambushes, absence of nice and memorable visuals and overall lack of creativity and innovation. Is that the way modern zdoom-oriented megawad supposed to be? 2/5 - Demonologist

5/5

One of the best megawads I've ever played. Great balance (ammo/mobs), hard (in clever way imo - ambushes, archviles, small locations) as fuck - and fine :) Very atmosferic and as someone said - it force you to remembering every part, to stay alive on UV. Claustrophobia 1024 1/2, Contagion, and this one are my #1. Ofc I really like Scythe, DV, AV and HR.
