About This File

Valiant is a MBF megawad for Doom II featuring 32 new maps spanning 5 themed episodes. Each map is designed to be played from a pistol start, but some effort has been made to support continuous play as well.

Additionally, Valiant includes a number of new monsters and weapons implemented through an extensive MBF format DeHackEd patch. As a result, Valiant is not compatible with gameplay mods, and can only be played in ports with full MBF DeHackEd support. At present, these include ZDoom, GZDoom, PrBoom-plus (complevel 11), and Eternity. Zandronum is also supported through DECORATE.

The maps were fun, well balanced and very well designed. The new monsters add to the difficulty while managing to not feel to alienated from the core game and to balance things up, the player is given two "new" weapons (a new pistol and a new minigun). If you haven't played this already, what are you waiting for? Do it, do it now !!! Definitely a 5/5 for me.

This to me is the complete package, Skillsaw has gone beyond just making good maps but has attempted to change the dynamics of the gameplay by changing up monsters and weapons and unlike most other attempts at this, this wad succeeds very well. Overall a very fun experience and I will guarantee this will be one of the top releases of the decade, let alone the year.

It's amazing that Skillsaw was able to make 32 maps of this quality by himself; that alone is noteworthy. And make no mistake, this mapset is awesome and I had lots of fun playing it. But I do agree with Getsu Fune that it has been overhyped due to the team of superfriends(Essel, Tarnsman, Dew, etc.) who have become the resident cheering section whenever one of their buddies releases a wad.

One of the best wad's of all time. If you enjoy chaotic doom gameplay done at its finest, do not miss this one.

A good quality wad with some neat maps and themes, but (like all mapsets these days) it's nothing we haven't seen loads before (especially the architecture). Not to mention it would've been a hell of a lot easier to simply use decorate for the new monsters, instead of shoehorning it all into a dehacked patch (losing a bunch of monsters and scenery along the way). I wonder why he felt the need to do that...

Everything you loved about Vanguard and Lunatic, now in a megawad. But there's more to it than that! Chaotic gameplay that makes you play fast, new monsters that change the usual power balance, impressive themes, and the great maps you'd expect from a Skillsaw wad. Yes, it's unabashedly a Skillsaw mapset, but what did you expect?

Amazing, not a single flaw here. What ever kind of gameplay or visuals skillsaw tried to create for this megawad (and he tried a bunch, there is surprising amount of variety here), he succeed spectacularly. Megawads like this one or Hellbound never cease to amaze me, it's incredible that a single mapper can create something like this.

Great gameplay, great levels, great monsters and great music. A project that is slowly but surely becoming a classic. I've never seen so much effort put into additional features and compatibility for multiple ports. You clicked to get here already, now do yourself a favor and play this thing right now.

Now THIS is how a modern Doom wad should be. Everything is top notch, no complaints here. Difficulty is alright. I love the new monsters. I'm playing on UV using Eternity source port. So much fun! 5/5

High quality work with many things I don't like (extremely repetitive visuals, most of new gameplay mechanics become "meh" after the novelty wears off, kinda lame challenges that aren't really hard and just give you an illusion of power) and a LOT of filler. The author definitely didn't have enough worthy ideas for 32 maps and he didn't exactly succeed in abandoning his overdone tropes either. But it was overall fun to get through once.

A damn fine wad. Had a ball playing this in multiplayer on Zandronum and enjoyed it (thankfully without Complex DooM since the decorate/dehacked incorporated is good on its own).

      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.

      It's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.

      What the actual f*ck is this map. I love having 4 rockets, a shit ton of bullets and like 10 shotgun shells to take out a revenant, and whatever was in that cage. Doesn't look too bad, maybe this negativity is cus im no expert, also rather unskilled at the game?
