what is the best doom wad according to you

[Triloguy]

Hello,
I have a question.
What do you think is the best doom wad ever made?
It can be 1 level but also a whole megawad.
It may not be a level of the original game.

Ancient Aliens is my favorite.

[Triloguy]

That is indeed a good megawad

[LudicrousFPS]

Eviternity is beautiful and overall a very nice wad. The Astral Cacos can go fuck themselves. Overall 9/10 wad 

[Triloguy]

okay

[Silhouette 03]

Momento mori 2. Still a fantastic megawad to this day. As well as JCP, especially the last few levels, which have stellar music and visuals.

Valiant by skillsaw.

 

Playing through that was a hell of a ride on UV. Felt like a whole new game.

Lunatic

Deus Vult II.

[Shawny]

Hellbound

[Gaia74]

Scythe 2 <3

[ZeMystic]

Ancient Aliens, Shadows of The Nightmare Realm, Vanguard, Eviternity, Demons of Problematique 2 are all probably my top 5.

Icarus: Alien Vanguard. Near perfect classic that still hasn’t been topped 24 years later.

[Optimus]

Alien Vendetta

[Mr. Freeze]

Hell Revealed 

[Yandere_Doomer]

• Sigil
• Valiant
• Sunlust

just a few of mine

[Mr. LBN]

Have people forgotten about Kama Sutra?

 

Normally when I creep threads like this I often barely see anyone mention Ksutra.wad.  I wouldn't say it's the best pWAD, nor have I ever officially completed it (I've actually never officially UV-Maxed any iWAD or pWAD in it's entirety or even run through an entire WAD), but back in 2010 or so I thought this was a perfect blend between Hell Revealed and Alien Vendetta especially since it's fully Vanilla.

 

 

[JustCallMeKaito]

Sunlust, Ancient Aliens, & Plutonia 2.

[Spaicrab]

Going Down

[ReaperAA]

Eviternity is my favorite.

[Omniarch]

No End In Sight. I've long since lost count of the number of times I've rambled on about its greatness. NEIS is everything I love about Ultimate Doom turned up to eleven.

[GraphicBleeder]

I am particularly fond of the Hell on Earth Starter Pack and Plutonia 2.

Same here. I still like it more than most of the WADs that it inspired for some reason.

[Lizardcommando]

For megawads, Memento Mori 2. It's the one I have replayed the most. Excellent level design (especially for its time of release), beautiful custom graphics and textures and a kick ass soundtrack. For gameplay mods, I would go with Immoral Conduct for the EDGE source port. I feel like that really kickstarted many of the modern gameplay mods that we see today.

[whybmonotacrab]

For me personally: Valiant. I love its mentality of always pushing the player to stay mobile. It feels like a first person arcade Shmup and it's glorious.

STRAIN.

Is this really the kind of answers you want to give to your often repeated question? There is no clear winner as its all subjective.

 

But there is the Cacowards for guidelines.

Equinox

Lost civilization

caverns of darkness

I forgot to play NEIS. Love valiant, back to saturn x, speed of doom ...

Edit: Memento Mori both of them. I hope someday to play them again on a crt screen.
