Scythe

You'd be hard pressed to find a finer example of an inverse build time to quality ratio than the one on display here.

A modern classic, simple fast paced and a lot of fun. Visually it holds up really well even now, and it's my fave out of the series, I can't score it less than 5.

This remains the best fan-made WAD I've played.

Really good wad. 1st like 25 levels are awesome. Then once you hit like lev 26 the levels are unplayable unless you know your cheat codes.

all these years and Scythe still remains one of the most fun mapsets to date. given their size, there really isn't anything that's truly noteworthy, apart from MAP26 and MAP30 which are slaughterfests in their own right. but this is still a quick mapset to plow through in a pinch.

Masterpiece of Megawads, I'm lovin' it : 3

Too short maps.

Real weapons, anyone? I'm sorry, but I gave up on this one after the first couple of levels, after getting sick of having to kill everything with the pistol.

Awesome megawad for sure! This one of the few that I can say is 5/5 worthy. - THE_DAVE

A rather well-put together series of maps that fails to fully get my Doom blood boiling. Every room is either a square or a rectangle. Easy to make, not terribly stimulating to play. Still, 5/5 for serious execution. -- cjwright79

Fucking junk! Nothing but a big variation of levels and nice maps to play on, each with their own unique style, then when it fucking gets bad, it starts up again in the middle with insane dumb ass concepts of "slaughter" maps and such! it's so bad that i ended up rating this *****!!! keep it up guys!

thx bro

Great gameplay!!!

Dquey is just a noob, ignore him. I liked maps 26 and 30, but I find this the most fun when played with Aeons of Death.

I'm not the first to say it, but insanely awesome! To prove that the author isn't kidding that these maps are short 'n quick, I must say that I managed to take less that one minute when nomonster speedrunning all but four maps (19, 27, 29, 30). In fact these maps look like speedmaps that weren't made under any strict time limits; in other words, the size is reminding of them, but unlike speedmaps, they are throughly polished. The few bigger levels were great too, despite feeling different. 5/5

THIS IS HARD!!!!!!!!!!

This is still one of the best megawads out there. I've played through it quite a few times with a variety of players - Perfect balance of gameplay and clean aesthetics. 5 stars!

The greatest. In many ways this could be used as a template for the perfect megawad - purist 5/5

5/5! Now to try the sequel.

Impressive. 5/5

You quit just because the first two levels were pistol (and chainsaw)-only? Do you really have a hard time killing imps and former humans with the pistol? You get a shotgun on level 3, isn't that enough considering the toughest enemy you encounter in the first episode is the Baron? Anyway, this has to be the second best megawad ever (first should be obvious to anyone), so what if there are a couple of misaligned textures - 6/5 stars

I agree with the reviewer 3 times above me. Ep 1 is (too) easy even on skill 4, Ep 2 was challenging, Ep 3 is pure madness. Overall, except map19, 29, 30, the levels are too small in my taste, I went through Ep 1 & 2 in something like 3 hours or so. I had to jump to complete map 28 and to access the BFG9000 secret area in map29. Map 30 is the hardest Doom map I ever played (skill 4), never had a chance to complete it. Despite that, I must admit that the gameplay is fun. 4/5. ~Naan

music 3, levels 3, visuals 4. worth playing, 3.5/4 starz fer u -David

Impressive, though some levels were a bit repetitive. Worth the playthrough though, 3/5.

Awesome maps, I had a lot of fun playing this. -essel
