karacho Posted August 19, 2015 How would you rank the Doom 1+2 WADs in difficulty? I just finished playing through Doom 1+2 on UV (damn the 90s are far away, couldnt remember anything, only E1, the icon, and the Doom 2 map where you are on a tiny walkway the whole time). Now i want to do the same for No Rest for the Living, both Final Doom campaigns, and the Master Levels (as one megawad, using Xasers level order. I know that might make the Master Levels a bit easier, since i take weapons and stuff with me, but i really do not like to play them as isolated levels). I wasnt sure in which order to tackle them, so i figured i should maybe go from easiest to hardest. Usually i would go through story progression (yes even in games like Doom), but there seems to be no canon to agree on. Thanks in advance. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
BaronOfStuff Posted August 19, 2015 If we're talking about no-save runs per map, then Easiest -> Hardest (IMO) would be: Master Levels NRFTL Evilution Plutonia 0 Share this post Link to post
nxGangrel Posted August 19, 2015 I think from easiest to hardest it would be The Master levels Doom 1 / Doom 2 TNT: Evilution Doom 1 : Thy Flesh consumed Plutonia 0 Share this post Link to post
Blastfrog Posted August 19, 2015 BaronOfStuff said:NRFTL EvilutionI found NRFTL a bit more challenging than Evilution in its later levels, but that's just me. I mostly refer to the segments with arch-viles and teleporting waves of monsters. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGA Posted August 19, 2015 Some Master Levels were unnecessarily long and obtuse in my experience, I didn't even finish them. They are way harder then Doom 2 IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post
fabian Posted August 20, 2015 Master Levels are a mixed bag, they range from "very easy" to "very hard". I'd agree that NRFTL is a bit harder than Evilution in the later maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

Pedro VC Posted August 20, 2015 Doom 64 with the N64 controller and Plutonia are the hardest. 0 Share this post Link to post
