Alandoguns made another weapons mod Yaaay, AlandoGunsX uhh.. it has several classes that have different starting weapons, but some of the classes have shitty voice acting.. I'll just choose the class that has the most normal sounds. Oh. It has weapon slots that only allow one weapon. Forcing you to swap weapons by dropping one on the ground when you pick another one up.

I'm breaking up with Valiant to start my new love with Hellbound. Best DOOM mapset that has been made. I have replayed it more than once with Brutal DOOM Platinum and Final Doomer(Hellboundguy class) and I still can't get tired of it. Cities, hellish maps, tech bases, I just love it. I also really like the combination of E2M1, E2M2 and E2M3 in Map19. Amazing stuff right there, I strongly recommend this

I've expected much worse from the anonymous 0 votes reviewers, but that vote could be done due to the hatred that the friendly neighbor spider-uploader Perseus had during his time uploading anything he\she\it can put he\she\it's hands up on the archives. At first i think to have played (and give a pretty harsh review on \newstuff review) this map, but it's a pretty similar map sets in a small fortress surrounded by mountains, with many items scattered around without caring of the player classes and adding a big group of monsters in the map just for giving you something to kill that aren't some other nerds on-line in this absolutely intended for Deathmatch map. But this is a fortunately acceptable small map, even kinda fun (expect for a hallway filled of that guys with two heads that i don't remember the name now) in some parts. It's ok.

I played this with the fighter on the hardest difficulty and I really enjoyed the challenge. I found that the flechettes really helped since they are the only range weapon the fighter has on this map. However, I opted to not use them as I wanted to challenge myself. The toughest class to play on would likely be the cleric as his flechette is not a range weapon like the fighter's. Unfortunately this map is a cakewalk with the mage which prevents me from rating this any higher. This map may not offer anything incredibly creative or any long adventure but I think this map goes to show that you can create something interesting without having a large/lengthy map, the later weapons or several items.

Waste Abandonment is a medium sized interconnected level full of challenge that at first feels fair but becomes annoying towards the end of the level. The only fault with this map is how after the blue key is picked up the level turns into a light slaughter map with swarms of light monsters with the occasional revenant and archvile. The only improvement I could think of would to decrease the size of the late level monster swarms and add more mid class enemies like mancubus or cacodemons.

Phenomenal gameplay mod, keeping the original Doom gameplay intact with added smooth animations and little touches like better looking blood and sound effects that are great to the ears. There's even an added class to use enhanced guns, giving weapons secondary fires such as a kick for the Fists and homing rockets for the Rocket Launcher, though there's always the option to play with vanilla guns if you just want to play with the smooth animations of both the weapons and the enemies. Beautiful Doom makes the original Doom gameplay feel fresh and new as the animations offers great visual flair and the added enhanced guns class is great to go along with them.

Very good wad, especially for 1995. It does a good job conveying the environments (a mine in the first level and village in the second level) using stock textures, with solid detailing and atmosphere. The first level is a bit biased against the fighter (his 2nd weapon shows up LAST of all the classes' 2nd weapons despite him needing it the most), but after that the balance improves. There are a couple of BS traps, but overall it's pretty fair and fun.

Kind of silly, actually. It's Hexen in terms of classes/weapons, but everything else is Heretic. Killing D'Sparil with a 4th weapon class of a Hexen character is far too easy - if anything, there is far too much mana in the game (esp. the boss room at the end). Why Hexen textures couldn't have been used instead baffles me.

This levelset more or less incorporates all the best features I am usually looking for in a megawad: balance, reasonable level size, curious and detailed architecture that does not feel overdone. One of the very best in my book! (played with my own rslfuria.zip, Operative class)

An odd wad in which you play a Hexen class while fighting Heretic monsters in Heretic-textured levels. Surprisingly, it works pretty well, and is an interesting change of pace from either game. It retains Hexen's hub design, although it's not at all puzzley, just a "go and collect 3 items and return to the hub" quest. It's very combat-focused (there's almost 400 enemies in the final level), but unlike some Heretic maps, it doesn't end up feeling like a slog. Perhaps Hexen's weapons are just more powerful than Corvus's. The level design is very good, besides a couple of sore spots (the cramped areas of the lava level, the metal maze in the final level). The boss, D'Sparil, is much easier to kill than he was in Heretic; he probably should've been modded to have a better chance against Hexen's warriors.

"Aah, that hurts!" It hurts indeed, annoying (movie?) sound clip used for player pain, it hurts a lot. This map is not that atrociously bad, actually. Layout is nice and pretty open, and the "throne" room (without a throne) is the best part of the level, but unluckily there's this teleport crazy thing that runs troughs the various sections of the... castle? Tomb? I see more some kind of castle theme here, but i digress, let's return on topic. Ok, there is this teleport travel stuff all around the map that join together the various sections of the map, at the first time it works fine and it's a pretty cool thing, but then things starts to going crazy after you reach the yellow key door (that is, for some reason, hidden from a computer panel and the switch to reach it is hidden too in a alcove that i had to noclip for reach it) and the teleport in the middle of the rooms that randomly spawns you in some random place, and this by touching a complete random teleport line. Wonderful, you don't have the idea. Also, after taking the red key, i've been stuck for quit a long in the already mentioned "throne room" and i had to cheat for finding my way by noclipping almost half of the map. Gameplay is not hard, but... this thing is unforgiving with you. Forget to take the computer map in the cyb's cage? Forgive even to proceed in the damn map! Miss a switch, a teleport line, anything? Game over, man. Also the thing placement looks like is all around the place sometimes, but that's a (really bad) habit of old time maps... Also, is most probably me that i missed out something, but this map have a exit? I didn't find out in any way! Ah yes, the sound effects are mental, this weird ass shit turns you crazy, if not the bad choices with teleport sections didn't it already. Top class. Also, it uses somes of the zombie voices from Eternal Doom (and before that Laura Bayer)? Ok.... In short: a pretty forgettable 1994 map expect for a pair of locations with some of the ugliest sound effects you can ever heard.

A great but troubled mod. If you can find an older version hosted somewhere it's fine, but avoid fan classes like the plague, they're terrible. Caught a lot of flak for "stealing players from Doom" which is ridiculous to anyone with a brain.

I saw some terry traps but they were funny as hell. MAP02 was hard, but cute. Some maps were insane, and MAP69 is a terry trap. The first boss in MAP07 (The Finale) was difficult, but if you use the Vitality Class, the first phase is not that hard. Just hide next to the platform thingie, aim up, and shoot. Adjust yourself to stay alive. Save in the 2nd phase, and do the same strategy if possible.

Absolutely mind blowing and fully deserving of its legend status, a class of its own even 18 years after its release. Even the simplistic design works in favor of the experience... may not be your cup of tea, but its quality and influence are undeniable. Solid 5!

Absolutely fantastic! The special effects are first class, the puzzles are genius and everything there was to love about the original Hexen is even more embellished in this version! One criticism I have, NOT ENOUGH EARTHQUAKES!
