I don't understand the Doom community. Like, seriously, I'm not trying to be a hater or judge anyone for their taste, I just genuinely do not understand what people think is fun about WADs like this. Half of it is locking you in tiny rooms with a million enemies you can't dodge, and the other half is giant arenas with a million enemies where you can kinda dodge. It's either frustratingly difficult or tedious and boring. If you aren't save scumming the same battle 100 times over until you get lucky, you're hiding in a doorway pumping and endless amount of rockets.
Tetanus in particular loves to give you rockets and then immediately throw you in rooms where you blow yourself up trying to use them. It almost never gave me plasma so the BFG and Plasma Gun were rarely viable options. I made it to the onslaught at the end of level 9 and gave up, it's just not worth it to me. The visuals are pretty and it's got some nice original music, but the gameplay just melts my brain. Give me vanilla Doom 2 any day over this, 100% unironically.

.....I played it again. I hate this WAD but I PLAYED IT AGAIN. My brother wanted to do this thing where we played a level each day to see if that made it more tolerable.
Spoiler alert: it didn't. Why do I do this to myself.
