Really solid megawad! There's lots of unique environments and level concepts, each episode gets a wholly unique theme, and the maps are just fun to exist in. The new enemies and weapons shake up the usual doom gameplay formula in some cool ways and they're really fun too! Episodes 2 and 4 are a bit of a drop in quality unfortunately, and I didn't care much for the secret maps either. The music goes insanely hard though, so many awesome tracks. Unfortunately that all goes out the window on map 30 where you fight a juiced up archvile with 2 cyberdemons worth of health, while you get shot by plasma turrets and swarmed by revenants and pyro knights. I spent nearly 2 hours trying to beat it before giving up and killing him with cheats. It's godawful and i can't understand how it made it into the final version.
