Description : 10 short, action focused maps for Doom 2, inspired
by Scythe. The wad is divided into 2 visual themes.
The first 5 maps are techbases, the next 5 are a
visual mashup of Shores of Hell, Plutonia and
Scythe 2's jungle episode. The gameplay is classic
styled mostly without slaughter, but there are some
large fights. Difficulty levels are supported, and
on UV I would say the difficulty is on average a
step below Plutonia, though it spikes up quite a
bit by the end. If you would like it more
difficult, there's another option for you...
Maps 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 have an optional
feature I call "Chaos Mode". Each of these maps has
a hidden teleporter, marked by a patch of fireblu.
Taking this teleporter will activate chaos mode,
causing every monster teleporter, closet, and other
trap to be sprung at once, filling the map with as
many monsters as possible. This is naturally much
more difficult, but still beatable and hopefully
fun. Chaos mode is not required for 100% kills,
secrets, or items, and is just an alternative way
to play the maps (ideally after beating them
normally once, the activators are hidden enough
that you shouldn't stumble into them). It may have
some speedrunning implications as well...
Pistol starts or continuous play are supported.
If your port has a jump button, please do not use
it or you may skip important triggers.
