The verdict
A mixed bag of 20 fan-made Doom II levels: some creative and tough, many cryptic and uneven. It's now free in Doom + Doom II and runs on clunky DOSBox here, so skip it unless you collect.
Great for
Veteran Doom fans wanting extra challenging maps and 90s mapping history, ideally via a source port
Main risk
Cryptic, secret-dependent levels and a dated DOSBox launcher, redundant with the free Doom II version
What players love
Free with Doom II and playable in source ports
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews
“Extra levels that you receive for free with the main game, what more is there to not love?”
