Decade of DOOMstruction(2000s): 8-9 maps WADs

One thing I noticed about episode replacements is that these are always made for Doom I. Seriously, it’s like moths flying to the nearest light source. That and in at least 8/10 cases they pay homage to the first episode from what I’ve seen.

But anyway, here are the best episode replacements for the classic Doom games.

VANILLA

2000 – THE CLASSIC EPISODE

Let me tell you now, that if you enjoy homages to KDitD, you will enjoy this WAD. If you are like me and expect something more from these, you can skip it.

One of the biggest restrictions in making Doom I WADs is the much smaller amount of enemy types, with this game having only one high-tier and one mid-tier enemy with the rest feeling like cannon fodder, where only hitscanners have a chance to hit you if you are a god of dodging. And this WAD suffers from it, with encounters being either boring or tiring due to having a small amount of rockets and cells until around the second half of E2M7.

Other than fights, it’s basically (and probably mostly) a bizzaro E1 – simple, yet abstract locations and rather simple to play through maps, with maybe one or two moments where you get stuck if you are an idiot like me and miss an important switch right next to you.

2002 – CH RETRO EPISODE

This WAD gave me a better experience than the last one since it doesn’t feel like it overstays its welcome until around the second half/ last third and it doesn’t have tiring encounters with cacos and barons; just boring and, sometimes, annoying ones.

Still, it’s basically another E1-based episode replacement that doesn’t really add anything significantly memorable.

2004 – PHOBOS REVISITED

I think this WAD might be the best one by far. Taking the foundations of the original episode and flipping some of its concepts upside down, giving it a fresh experience to the familiar locations, utilizing original secret areas as regular ones, and also making it harder and better looking (it’s still rather easy though).

Out of all the vanilla WADs in this category (at least the ones that I replayed now), I would say to try at least this one. This one is good.

2008 – BACK TO BASICS

While better WAD than Ruma, primarily due to having no new, piss-poor sound effects, I’m still not fond of Espi’s level design.

While I appreciate how it is not yet another E1 reference WAD like the previous one and how it manages to do some tricks with the engine on vanilla restrictions, it still suffers from the boring and (occasionally) tiring fights with Doom I’s limited bestiary (although the fights didn’t feel as boring as the previous WADs), added with infuriating backtracking that I feel like it forces you to go through at least half of the map per one just to open a colored door/press another switch. Topped with some of the secrets being annoying to grab due to forced SR40/50 straferunning and the fact that you are forced to pistol start the final map because fuck you and your BFG.

While I still recommend playing this WAD (if at least for the secret map that is), I don’t think it’s worth playing further after E2M7.

WINNER

Let’s cut to the chase, people – Phobos Revisited earns the first GoldenSpider Nest award for the best episode replacement of the decade. It’s kind of hilarious how the vanilla WAD that references Knee-Deep in the Dead the most in the one that gave the most fun.

Even though I am not that fond of the rest of the WADs, I must choose the runner-up. And for me, it’s the CH Retro Episode that deserves to get this title. Back to Basics might be better than that WAD, but at least CHRE wasn’t as frustrating as BtB.

Now, let’s move on to the second half of this category.

SOURCE PORT

Let’s hope that the following WADs will give me more fun than the previous ones.

2003 – PHOBOS: ANOMALY REBORN

And we immediately start off with a bang.

This WAD has some of the most gorgeous maps ever created in the 2000s; made even more impressive that it looked like it was all made with nothing BUT Doom I stock textures. It all looks insane.

It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, though. Many encounters have a hard time living up to the standard of being actually fun, rather than being forced to fight barons with shotgun/chaingun, fighting hitscanners with next to no cover, or just being straight-up boring.

It’s not as great as it was when I first played it, but it's still a good WAD worth checking out, especially for its design and interaction with the environment.

2006 – THE CLASSIC EPISODE PART 2

A sequel to the original Classic Episode WAD, made by the same guy, and it’s at least 100% better than the original. Having a hub map that gets more corrupted when you reach it for the last time is great, along with encounters feeling much less boring, tiring, and (to some degree) annoying. And as for the complexity level of the maps, I guess it’s somewhere around the same level as the previous WAD, AKA not that much.

This one is worth checking out.

2009 – MAPGAME

Another, pretty solid WAD IMO. It kind of spices up the gameplay by switching the chaingun with a projectiles-based flare gun, and transforming spider mastermind into a much weaker turret (it’s still a hitscanner but at least it’s something fresh in the roster), but aside from these, it’s a rather standard E1 replacement with pretty locations (not as pretty as PAR though). That’s all I have to say for this WAD.

WINNER

And now, it looks like I have a problem since all of the WADs are good, but not really amazing. I would gladly give the second Golden Spider Nest award for Phobos AR, but then I am reminded that fun shouldn’t be hindered by pretty locations. So, ultimately, I give the award for Mapgame, and the other two WADs get named runners-up.

Now that I’m done with episode replacements, I can only hope that I’ll finally play some Doom II stuff in the next category.

I’ll see you then.

Doom WADs’ Roulette (2008): Back to Basics

I don’t think I will ever understand why Espi was so popular. I mean, having the award named after yourself is pretty cool (since he died from cancer before even hitting his thirties), but two of the solo projects I’ve played make me question the quality of his WADs. Ruma was good but it had problems (with Super Slappy and other new sound effects being sub-par as one of these problems). Meanwhile, Suspended in Dusk might look good, but aside from that, it leaves very much to desire in other aspects, along with (in the best case) some of the problems that were haunting Ruma before.

And so, we are here today, to take a look at his last solo project that has been highlighted in Cacowards.

G6: Back to Basics

Main author(s): Esa Repo (Espi)

Release date: December 16th, 2007

Version(s) played: 1.1

Required port compatibility: Vanilla

Levels: 9 (Episode 2 replacement)

Back to Basics, as the name suggests, is an episode 2 replacement that focuses on being an old-school Doom WAD – abstract structure with vanilla compatibility for the lack of better words. With the first half being made out of the old project Espi had getting dust at that moment (with E2M1 dating back to 2001 if you look at its solo release).

I may sound harsh, but it will take a miracle for me to have fun while playing this WAD. After all, it’s on the first Doom, and considering the stuff Espi did that I played, I don’t have high expectations for this WAD.

Without wasting any more time, let’s take a look.

When it comes to vanilla standards, Back to Basics looks rather good. I think there is at least one area per map where it starts looking really great. Unfortunately, I feel like at least half of the content is suffering from the Quake Syndrome, where there are a lot of brown areas/locations. There are great-looking places as I said, like the ones where you have to pass by/through demonic flesh and guts; it’s a shame though that you have to suffer from the aforementioned brownness to get there.

At least there are no annoying new sound effects. That's always something.

Unfortunately it all goes further downhill when you start taking a closer look at maps’ design. I feel like this WAD repeats the mistakes that I mentioned in my Suspended in Dusk review, where the maps feel like overly complicated, mangled mazes that exist only to needlessly add time to your playthroughs.

It even has moments where you are forced to backtrack the large parts of maps just to press a switch/grab the key/go through the freshly open door that is right in front of you. One section of E2M2 where you have to press a switch to get access to the red key will make you go through one, godforsaken location 2-3 times depending on where you end up first just to grab this bloody key.

Even when (sometimes) it looks like you can go through the window that you will clearly fit, well guess what? Fuck you. It is actually an invisible wall.

Also, it might be only me, but I feel like there is at least one moment in at least half of the maps where you have no idea where to go and what to do, and you run around the map like a headless chicken to find that one switch/door to interact with; or at least that’s how it feels on the blind playthrough; other times it was much better.

There are even secrets that I feel like only the master of SR40/SR50 strafe running will get to. You might as well fly/force jump/noclip there if you haven’t lost your plot already.

And by the way, if you think about nuking the shit out of the siege cow at the end of this WAD with your secret BFG, guess what? Fuck you part two. You are forced to Pistol-start E2M8. Why? Because we need some of that additional chore to do. Fun? What’s that?

The only map that I legitimately like is the secret one. It has an interesting way to get to it, and its concept is fun with a bunch of floating islands with castle fortifications each. And it didn’t feel that much of a slog to play through.

Speaking of a slog, however, fighting monsters is one. Do you like shotgunning demons for at least half of the playthrough due to saving more powerful weapons for more than 1-2 Cacos or one Baron? Because Back to Basics will guarantee you that. I can’t even properly think how hard this WAD is; it’s just boredom.

I do realize that the problems with boring fights are more of an overall problem in Doom I WADs (probably because I feel like people make them as if it were for Doom II rather than Doom I), but there were WADs for Doom I that came before this one and there were ones that gave me more fun than BtB. This WAD (and many more in the past/future) would benefit greatly if most of the maps cut the enemies' amount and their size by around half of its current content, but that’s just me.

Back to Basics is only worth downloading for E2M9. Otherwise, it is a waste of time that offers nothing but a nostalgia trip to the first Doom if you are not into this.

You might be thinking that the next WAD to tackle will be BGPA Missions, the sequel/spiritual successor to Operation Overload created by the same dude, but no. After the experience I had with its predecessor, I don’t want to waste my time on BGPA. I might check it after dealing with the last WAD from the 2008 roster, but after the Enema Dude FooF, I am doubtful of that happening.

Instead, we will take a look at something different. But before that, there are previous parts of a certain trilogy to talk about.

Get some cereals people. This is gonna get slimy.
