Hellebarde [Megawad] - final version on /idgames

I started playing this once it was up on idgames.  I don't like the music for the most part.  The levels, although small, are sometimes still confusing oddly enough.  Like on one of the earlier levels when you have to hit a timed switch that opens not only the door to the room you're in, but also the door to the yellow key.  This annoyed me.  Just make the doors stay open.  I got to the boss on map11 and got destroyed multiple times.  Admittedly, he surprised me so had I known what was coming I probably could've killed him without dying but his attacks do absurd damage.  I ended up quitting about map18 because I kept getting confused on where to go and just wasn't really feeling it.

 

I do like the custom monsters though.  It's odd you decided to enable players to skip the last boss enemy in most of the levels.  

mhm... I always loved Doom because of it's non-linearity. Why should I want to play Maps were I know where to search and where to go instantly. In the making of the wad I often thought some Maps are still to linear. So it's funny you quit on MAP18. It's probably the most non-linear Map in the whole set :) Sad... The Highlight in my opinion is the Hell Episode (MAP21 - 30)... Maybe you can try that another time :) Thanks for Playing !

 

 btw I think you mean the Bossfight on MAP10 (end of Episode 1) not MAP11 (beginning of Episode 2) ^^

I just started this and I like it a lot so far (4 maps in). Great job!

Anyone got any hints for that gated BFG on the last temple map before the city map? I've humped just about every wall and nothing. :D

I finally got around to completing this.  You're right, the last 10 maps I liked much more.  I barely got lost so that's a good thing.  I had to play them on easy, UV is seriously hardcore.  I still died multiple times, which is unusual for me.  The symphony X track was a delightful surprise.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0naNpcLtpzI

 

It's disappointing no one else has uploaded anything from this wad.  I'd like to see someone beat some of these later levels on UV.

Hello, recently I made a video playing this megawad commented in Spanish, for now I'm going through the first levels.

I must say that it's very well done, and the boss fights feel different from the regular Doom fights which I like. I liked the chosen music on most of the levels I've played so far and I haven't felt it too out of place. What I am learning is to better manage the use of ammunition, since this Wad gives us just what is necessary at each level.

Let's see if I make more progress in this Wad soon and I can go further and thanks to Dazzer and the people who participated in creating this Wad so that we can have fun playing them.

Just found a bug where a mancubus dies but the gates won't open... Mind you fix this?
