Great megawad using the temple theme with excellent efficiency. Hard but fair complex without being frustrating.

-Fantastic- fan-made ROTT sequel for (G)Zdoom. All the weapons, power-ups and enemies from original ROTT are back. Several changes to original gameplay are introduced, and I honestly consider them to be improvements: player can now carry basically every single heavy weapon at the same time, 100 collected coins now grant a bonus god mode power-up instead of extra life. Jump is enabled by default, and is pretty much required if one expects to collect majority of coins and secrets.
There are 9 new maps in total, 2 in E1 and 7 in E2 + 2 secret maps which are actually faithful remakes of original ROTT maps. Each new map is huge, gorgeous (Zdoom features are put to great use!), extremely polished and well designed.
Definite must play, this stuff shits all over ROTT 2013.

Finished Episode 1, really impressive stuff.
These guys truly understand ROTT, I hope they release more episodes in the future.
That it most certainly does.

The Ultimate Torment & Torture
Atmosphere, architecture, enemy placement, custom textures/enemies... this megawad excels in all of this.

Really enjoyable gameplay mod, if you are in a mood for something completely different from baseline Doom. Basically, it transforms the game into what feels like a first person sequel to some classic arcade brawler. This might look a bit silly at first glance, but it's quite well made and really fun to play.
I suggest playing this in combination with any wad with some sort of fantasy, medieval, ancient etc theme. I played it with Khorus (really pretty fantasy-themed episode that uses bunch of Heretic & Hexen resources, ya have nice detailed review here if ya'r interested http://onemandoom.blogspot.com/2014/02/khorus-khoruswad.html) and, if I dare say so, they are a pretty good fit: end result felt like a brand new total conversion.

I was looking for some melee oriented mod and stubled upon this one. Might check it.
Whoah, it’s beautiful!

Came across this cd-rom today, me and my brother used to collect these. In those golden days before the decline you could buy wads at the local grocery store

well at least they put some effort into it. Dat leaflet looks better than what some real commercial games have.On other news, yeah, I'm still playing Ultimate Torture and Torment. This megawad is enourmous and just gets better and better.
Fucking awesome atmosphere

I fucking love that picture.
Got me a nice idea, that picture did. Imagine, if you will, that 3DO port not only got those wonderful ultra-cheapo mid-90s FMVs, but that all of the original monster sprites were replaced with new ones based on digitized costumed actors (with costumes being of the same quality as that wonderful Baron... Cyber... Pinkie.... thing).

Actually it's a pretty good idea. Doesn't matter if we end up with such terrible framerate as in 3DO version, by now we would have fun with some unofficial PC port like it has been done with Doom 64 (D64EX, Absolution).

I just finished playing through Kama Sutra using the latest version of the Aeons of Death mod.
I didn't like Kama Sutra that much, it gets too campy at times. Obvious traps, not-so obvious deathtraps and all-out cheese at the start. Use that portrait of Hitler and you'll be crushed no matter where you are on the map.
Later on there's invisible walls, enemies popping up out of the ground in front of you and then there's the final three levels.
Map28 is a gigantic cube with 1400 enemies in it, with only a single door seperating you from most of the enemies. It quickly caused my system to lag so badly I had to IDDQD and perservere through a 7 FPS framerate to find the exit.
Map29 is my favourite, a city/basescape with a few traps, some nice fight setups and a big fight at the end.
Map30 offers two choices, Kids or Adults. "Kids" puts you in a small circular area against 4 Spider Masterminds and 4 Cyberdemons (or thereabouts). "Adults" puts you in a map where the Icon of Sin spews out its monsters from the cunt of a spread-eagled female body. No, I'm not joking. It took me a couple of tries, but one shot from the Lava Cannon right into the cooch aborted GlaDOS for good.
Yes, Lava Cannon and GlaDOS. I'm using the Aeons of Death mod, remember? Randomizes all enemies and gives you TONS of weapons. John Romero's head now spouts GlaDOS lines, Cave Johnson makes frequent appearances over a non-existant PA system and the Lava Cannon is a stupidly overpowered weapon only gained by killing El Oscuro, the endboss from ROTT.
And playing Kama Sutra with AoD - not a good idea. It screws up too many things, a couple of levels can't end properly and such.
Pros for AoD:
# The variety in enemies knows you'll never be quite sure what you're facing and requires on-the-spot tactical calls.
# The variety in weapons means you'll soon find a gun that suits your playstyle.
# You can customize which "sets" of monsters appear. (Tip: Drop the Left 4 Dead monsters. Spitters are insanely dangerous in AoD.)
Cons: for AoD:
# Some monsters are vastly more powerful and dangerous than others, even if they're considered "equal" in strength by the mod author. (Tip: Drop the Quake monsters, as they're the biggest example of this)
# With so many weapons and so much ammo, players will quickly learn to stick with a few good weapons and discard the rest.
# A randomly placed high-strength monster early on can make the wad unbeatable without cheating, especially if the player has few weapons. A good example of this is a variety of Hexen's Heresiarch that has green skin instead of purple. With the Heresiarch you need to wait until his shield is down, but with this one he's only vulnerable while he raises his hands up - and his attacks pack a punch. Run into him with only a pistol or shotgun equivalent, and you might as well pack it in and restart the wad.

I remember playing the whole thing. It was after Doom so the older Wolf3d engine surely didn't impress. What I will remember forever was that horryfying skull that would appear in front of you randomly through the whole game. The last levels were really intense.
Capstone (they made Witchaven 1,2 and Tekwar. All of them on Build engine) was planning sequel titled Corridor 8: Galactic Wars. It was made in Build too.

You can grab source code for it here. Also the original Corridor 7.
