I'll admit, you got me there. I never beat either of them, but from what I recall the first half of SoD falls within OP's range, whereas Resurgence I can see being a lot harder (I was WAY worse at doom when I played the wad), and I'm sure the later maps get a lot harder. But generally, I'd consider SoD and Resurgence to be on the more accessible end of the slaughter spectrum, especially when you take into account some of the other recommendations here. EDIT: Fantastic list, will definitely be putting this to use. Thanks for bringing this conversation onto this forum! :)

I've decided to revisit Alien Vendetta as part of a Doom project I'm doing, and I was very scared to do this map (MAP32). However, despite the fact that I played using saves, I am still TREMENDOUSLY proud of this as someone who only really is familiar with slaughterlite and not full-on slaughter. I feel like I'm slowly getting better at 2-shotting Cybs (although not consistently, I have to use saves but I can get it like 75% of the time), and general crowd control. I thank decino for all my current Doom knowledge after being out of the scene for roughly 3 years.

Impressed that I was able to beat this on UV! I remember trying one of your earlier maps out a couple years back and thinking "man, how is this even possible?" It was a lot of fun, especially with the low-hp Cybs. Only secret I got was the but I felt like I had had my fun with the map and chose not to UV-max it. Maybe for a later date? Sorry for no demo, for the life of me I can't get my mouse movement in DSDA-doom to feel good. So GZdoom it is then! Additionally, wanted to point out that the hardest encounter in my eyes was the little rooftop skirmish with the cacos, PE, and cyb with the imps in front. Everything else was relatively doable for a player of my skill level (with saves). Thank you for making this little gem of a map, Paul977! :)

Just played this (friend of the creator, fair warning). Very plutonic and retro in a way, not too difficult on UV, gets my recommendation. Only suggestion I'd make is to

bjorn ostmann, "theory of broken circles" from btsx e2 map15

alright at first i was invested in this exchange as i find it a bit silly that there's a 'correct' way to play the earlier or later wads because of what was intended, i feel that you should be able to play with whatever control format you want, that being said most people are gonna be using a keyboard and mouse because doom is a PC game and most PC gamers are accustomed to playing games with a keyboard and mouse, but... that's not my point. this thread has derailed severely from its original intent and this is now just a back-and-forth between 2 people. this thread's question has pretty much been answered, there's no point to keep going on about it.

i thought it was alright when i first played it, but I do prefer new vegas and, even 3 a bit more to an extent. it's just not as replayable as the previous games mentioned and the modding scene isn't as open as i'd like it to be. here's hoping if bethesda chooses to make another singleplayer FO game (which is very likely) they'll get someone like obsidian to handle it, or some other company, because from what i've seen bethesda isnt very good at their own niche.

Man the game awards this year were a slog, I left after Reggie announced the award for best indie game, I just couldn't take it anymore. Doom eternal got a quick ad mention though, so that was pretty neat. Out of all the announcements they showed off, I was maybe only interested in that 'Weird West' RPG game and Ghosts of Tsushima.

I got through the first 2 maps of the demo and mostly all of the way into MAP03 up until the and kinda stopped there. I think I may have been overestimating my ability to complete these maps on UV, I ended up having to use saves (which is all fine and good) and yeah that one ambush kinda stopped me in my tracks, so maybe I'll just dial it down to HMP and beat it on that difficulty. Really like what you've made here, fights are fun and creative, layouts are beautiful and you really make excellent use of OTEX. A real blast playing this for sure.

Yeah. Dunno, maybe if I gave it another go I could probably finish it, I might give it another attempt sometime. Glad to hear I was close at least!

I had to call it quits on the 3rd wave of ambushes. I just saved with a low amount of health and there was no way I was getting out of it alive. I enjoyed what I played though, very brutal stuff. I somehow didn't have a problem with dodging the AVs at the beginning. Follow Arby's suggestion and youll make it.

Fun little map, the paths and decor reminds me of Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 for some reason.

I've looked at the stuff in this thread and there are some pretty good recommendations. However, that was made in 2011 and I'm sure there's been a fair share of good spooky wads to come out since then. Two things that immediately come to mind are Tangerine Nightmare and the recently-released Mayhem 2019. Any others?

agh, just released when i got back into doom playing avactor, which i expect will take me a pretty long time for me to beat! this is definitely going on the backlog however, i love your maps
