Tantrum 2

I've played this map twice over the years, the first time having barely any ammo to deal with the large clusters of enemies and the second time having plenty of ammo without even needing to punch anything larger than a Pinky. The architecture and lighting are good for the time, but the majority of the 20+ minute playtime boils down to triggering monster closets and then running back into a previous room to bottleneck Revenants and Hell Knights through small doors. A severe lack of health incentivizes quicksaving after every room. Your enjoyment of this PWAD will depend on how much you like claustrophobic SSG fights.

you can only have so many baron/hell knight vs ssg rooms before it gets tiring

while often forgotten in time due to being a single-level wad, Tantrum 2 deserves quite a lot of credit. it's a very rough 1998 level! one of the few in fact. the monster density in ratio to the supplies provides quite a challenge, so it helps to keep healthy as much as possible (I somehow missed the one armor in this level). while only a medium-sized level, Tantrum 2 does its best to not only keep you on your toes, but to keep exploring. there's quite a few traps to look out for, along with plenty of mid-tier and high-tier enemies, particularly Hell knights and barons are used often. you can easily forget where the red key could be if you keep exploring. still, it's a worthwhile challenge.

A very fun 1998 level. The author is stingy with health and ammo, so it requires you to bring your A-game, especially if you want to survive the myriads of traps. It can get repetitive towards the end though, what with the constant crowds of Hell Knights and Barons.

A good looking brown level with way too high monster density, it becomes a chore after a while. Can't recommend playing, only looking at some of the architecture.

This is from August 1998. I haven't played the first Tantrum (id=5483). There were no more. This is an entertaining level that starts out quite tough - it's a meaty level for manly men. It's a castle set in a mountainside. Not much health; the kind of level that makes you fight half a dozen barons of hell and then gives you a +10 stimpack. Gets monotonous after a while (the traps are basically all the same) but fun nonetheless.

A Great level. Though I did find ammo to be very sparse in ULtra Violence. At one point I was taking on a bunch of Hellknights with berserker powered fists ...crazy.

This is superb, it goes ahead of tantrum I in every singlr way. Detail, design, lighting, theme, gameplay, enjoyability, challend, atmosphere, architecture, monster placement, progression, enjoyability, and spirit all range from good to very good to superb. Excellent!!

Fantastic level design and great looking. The one
thing that marks this wad down for me, is the
repititive use of too many enemies. Apart from
that, this is great.

5/5 Physically exhausting in a good way. Everything in the original map has been dialed up to extremes. It's rough, with pretty tight health and ammo, but doable. Some pretty good surprises, too, like the Cacodemon room. Architecture also feels significantly improved, cutting out the cavern/bloodfall rooms in favor of more interweaving insanity. - KMX E XII

Pffft, The very first linedef (0) is set to impassable - that's a bug Ola... fortunately GZDoom sorted that. Still, this is a very challenging wad with many surprises and tough battles -love it. Try it on UV -fast! 4/5 -jb

As good, but not better, than the original. My only criticism is that it is too similar. It's good fun regardless. 4/5. -TRRobin.
