About This File

Episode 4 is my favorite episode of Ultimate Doom, so I decided to start making my own mapset for it. I originally planned to make all 9 maps but unfortunately work got in the way, so here we are with 4 (Technically 5) maps.

The first two maps are alright but a bit of a slog. The 2nd map is the weakest but it's worth persevering; this WAD hits its stride on the 3rd and 4th. Most took me about 9 minutes. It's easy to get cornered by a horde on map 3, which was the first to get my pulse racing. The next is intricate but never cryptic. Unfortunately Cacodemons and pop-up monsters are overused. Lighting and texturing quality is consistent but never spectacular. Some nice room designs but it's mostly spartan. Interesting secrets.

Some short, solid, but not spectacular maps for Ultimate Doom in the style of e4. Worth a look.

nah it's not good. very strange layouts that actually aren't too bad, it's just that overall combat is not enjoyable. E4M1 in particular you rely entirely on the chaingun which isn't that good (although there's a shotgun in a secret at the beginning).

Loved this set! E4M4 in particular is an absolute rush.

The action is pretty tense, but the maps somehow don't feel right. They feel weird and they're cumbersome to navigate. There's some tediousness with fighting hordes with puny weapons, but it's not much and you do get plenty of rockets to deal with tougher enemies. I'd say this isn't a bad WAD, but I was more annoyed by it than enjoyed it.

Mixed bag. Some of the levels are good (like E4M4) while the middle two maps in particular are not as good and seem like not as much thought went into them. An appreciated release nonetheless, there's enough here to justify putting out what was finished.

Sort-of slaughter attempt. Map45 is clearly a joke. Maps 41-44 are built on crampedness, darkness and/or fog. Having said that, 41 & 42 basically don't look that bad, but the others are simply not good. Fights @ UV are generally based on FH & imp snipers, and popups of a lót of cacos. A few barons add to this. Overall terms like predictability, variationness and boredom describe the action which was supposed to be called gameplay. 1* + some extra for the effort makes a very small 2*.

This is a pack of 4 levels with some sort of special 5th that I assume you're supposed to die. What makes it rare is the vertical of a lot of it. Lots of mountain walls, arena pits, falling into caverns sort of thing. Overall the levels feel creative for one reason or another. Caverns look good and detailed.

Awful action all around, shotgunning hordes of cacos and barons with just your shotgun and chaingun is no challange, just tideous action, the only good map is E4M4 and it's the last one.

These have a good E4 feeling with the mix of rock, GSTONE and WOOD textures, not to mention the difficulty is near or on par with id's episode.

      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.

      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.
