| Very fun to play. I can't say enough about the gameplay and the intricate level design. There are A few cosmetic issues with the presentation:
1. The installation does an iwad merge, so if you are running it in a source port, you may want to run eternal.wad through slade or something to remove the duplicated iwad graphics.
2. Most of the replacement sound effect replacements sound worse than the originals.
3. The sprite and fireball replacements for the Imp are very ugly. | x |

| Excellent level design--some levels are rather bland, but the medieval levels more than make up for it with great architecture. However, the puzzles on some maps are downright ridiculously obscure (unmarked doors, very hard-to-see switches, etc. all this on giant maps which may take well over a hour to finish.) MAP30 perhaps takes the cake with its utterly ridiculous, confusing puzzles, and pretty much ruined the finale for me. Still worth seeing, for the huge, well-crafted levels alone. | x |

| I don't know about you but running around for half an hour completely stuck as what to do in a map isn't my idea of a good time. I can't shake the feeling that if the maps were smaller they'd be better either. Also, switch and key hunts never fly, we really should've cracked down on that shit from the start. | x |

| Went from playing this in crappy CGA under DOS circa 1998 to PRBOOM at 1024*768 circa December 2013. as a result It's even better now than it was when I first found this WAD on some local BBS back in '98. Only giving it four stars because I, too, had to "hack" parts of it in Doom Builder to make it more playable (solvable) Otherwise a good effort, even 15 years later. It'll probably hold up for another 15. | x |

| I used to really hate Eternal Doom for being so fucking huge. I look back now and I really appreciate the size of it as well as the exploration and non-linear aspects of it. I wish there were more megaWAD's of this size and magnitude. I'd give it 10 stars if it were possible. | x |

| It's still as great as I remember it. Huge vast levels with an emphasis on puzzles and challenging secrets. The first 15 levels are sublimely designed, but the second half isn't quite up to the same standard set earlier. The last level however is an excellent finish. If you haven't played Eternal yet, then you must! Despite a few average levels later on, I can't give this less than 5 stars. -TRRobin. | x |

| I've got 512 characters to warn you that in many levels you'll spend more time banging on random objects trying find a route to the exit than actually fighting demons. You HAVE to find false walls and shoot/hit concealed switches. The wad is beautiful, but many designers didn't know where to draw the line when it came to gimmicks and concealment of requisite areas, thus interrupting and annihilating gameplay. Nagel's soundtrack, though, is top notch, so play it for that. You're in it for the long haul. | x |

| Even 4 stars out of 5 is underrated. Now, roughly 14 years after its release it's still barely matched by any of our days' wads. This enormous beast remains the ultimate classic wad in my eyes. So ahead of its time, even though the graphics/textures look really aged by now, it's still pleasant to look at. The only wad that rivails this in terms of epicness is AV. 5*/5 - perfect. | x |

| One of the most atmospheric megawads ever. There is a good reason it is called Eternal, the maps are enormous and even the earlier ones might take up to 30 mins to complete the first time. The textures, graphics, envirionments and even the music (which is great) are highly reminescent to the game HeXen, so much that this game is actually HeXen with a space marine instead of wizards/knights :) I also love the HUD, the new sound effects and how they changed the imps' looks a bit. Obviously an 5/5 classic! | x |

| In terms of architecture and design, this wad (at least most of the levels in it) was so far ahead of its time that no words in the English language could truly describe it. Sadly, the gameplay on some levels is a bit more hit or miss due to the many, many puzzles that could be considered highly complex even by today's standards - but still, if you can put up with that it has no other faults, and I don't hestitate to give 5 stars. | x |

| Map12 saw me melted to death after jumping to grab the yellow key only to find no escape after falling down the pit, certainly a risky wad to be playing with no quicksaves but an excellent playthrough nevertheless. The huge nature of the levels has not affected the gameplay at all, each level is equally enjoyable all the way through. A playthrough from beginning to end with this on Chocolate Doom or Vanilla is something no doomer should miss! 5/5 | x |

| You'd have to be ludicrous aswell as biased not give this sexy behemoth an automatic 5. Yes the puzzles will irritate and really challenge your depth of perception but the gargantuac, expansive, non-linear design coupled with the first use of huge, immersive, illusionary architecture was an unprecedented expection for 1997. Eternal isn't just a highly ambitious megawad, but an entity of it's own. Not to mention it'd be awesome in 'Survival Coop' with the amount of space. 5/5 - B.Krypto. | x |

| Nice for a vanilla WAD. CyberSweeper was cool. Gameplay really drags on in places though; I'd expect a seasoned crew like this to not thoughtlessly jam monsters everywhere, but they did, with no cohesive flow. The maps themselves--put simply, switch hunting in huge dark areas gets old really quickly. Felt like filler. Also, the snobbery about reusing their resources was odd, seeing how they included stuff from Doom, Hexen, etc. Copyright infringement is okay for TeamTNT, but not the rest of us, I suppose. | x |

| Wonderfully detailed, but over-the-top with its difficulty. The maps are ridiculously huge, the challenges are complicated to the point of insanity...each level just drags on and on.

| One of the all-time classics. Level design and architecture is mostly above-par for its time (and not bad at all for today) and the huge levels filled with nearly 100% new textures make it truely look and feel like a different, medival world, with mostly Doom monsters preventing it from seeming like an entirely different game. There's tons of hard puzzles and with so many big maps, it's sure to keep you entertained for a long time. While sometimes frustrating, I definitely enjoyed it. 5/5 | x |

| I was never a big fan of E.D. I could mention the neverending switch hunts, the annoying, unplesant gameplay, the dullness of many of the levels and the way Sverres maps stick out as far supreme and make the rest look even more mediocre then they are. The wad is worth playing only because of Kvernemo's map04, 05 and 12. And even those architecturally grand maps suffer from a mundane gameplay. New sounds and graphics just made it look like a weird version of heretic. 3/5 -Johnsen | x |

| Well, even if I don't like hexen style puzzles, these maps more than make up for it with impressive size and gothic architecture (my favorite style). Map 12 is my personal fav and kinda sums up what this MW is all about. Year of creation: 1997!!! Would you believe it?

| This is an amazing megawad IMO, although it may not suite everyones taste. It contains 32 new levels, most of which are enormous and complex (and some ultra-complex), practically all new textures, and of course, new music. The architecture is good (especially for 1997), and I found the gameplay fun, since I don't mind huge, puzzling levels, but those who do mind such levels will find this VERY frustrating. In my opinion, it gets a 5/5, but those who don't like huge and/or complex maps should stay away. | x |

| Not bad, but it can be really frustrating at times. My time went well over an hour in some levels because I was pressing switches and had to run around the whole place trying to find out what it did, and some of these levels are massive. Also, some of the things you have to do to progress in a level would be considered a secret in any other WAD. But I will give credit for some very nice looking maps, some clever puzzles, and good fights. 3/5. | x |

| I was a bit intimidated when I unzipped this; at first it looks like one of those pre-source port mods that has to be patched up in order for it to work. Thankfully it seems to run fine if you just load up Eternall.wad. I can understand the plaudits. The first three levels are awful, but after that it turns into a set of gorgeous, large-scale levels with a Hexen/Heretic flavour. It's ferociously tricky. | x |

| Excellent level design but too many times switches are hidden either with confusing textures designed to camouflage them or in some case, hidden in areas which would normally be considered secret areas. Too often you get "trapped" somewhere and spend a long time walking around looking for a hidden switch which takes all the fun out of it. Unless you either watch the demo's or have a WAD editing tool, chances are you'll have no clue what to do. | x |

| This is,IMHO, THE megawad of Doom! It has it all: the ubelievable architecture, the gameplay, the ingenious tricks, fantastic theming and atmosefere, completely new texture sheme. Despite being so detailed the levels are actually 4 times bigger than the stock Doom maps. The set is just better than any other in some many things that it makes any other set pale in comparison, for me. It's not an easy ride, the puzzles are sometimes very hexenish, and the levels are really exhausting, but it's a must. 6/5! | x |

The architecture is unlike any other WAD I've seen... Coleur's intricate castle designs and Sverre's maps in particular are a must-play!

| Eternal Doom is the BIGGEST Doom megawad ever. The levels are absolutely huge and have fantastic atmosphere and details. On the other hand, hunting for switches in these vast levels can be a HUGE pain in the ass sometimes. I remember that I had to resort to a level editor to figure out how to proceed in one level and still couldn't do it, so I cheated... You probably shouldn't try to play Eternal too much at a time to avoid frustration. It'll take you an Eternity to complete :-) | x |
