I recently beat the base game and was wondering what the general consensus was on the DLCs.

I recall one map where you were surrounded by enemies, but they were all fake enemies and your objective was slaying an archvile who would continually resummon them. I don't remember if it was a mod or if it was a map, I recall it being in a pack of maps with a good few weird challenges like that, but I can't remember for the life of me.

EDIT: Found it, it was Ludicrium

Hey Lemmy! Let's see if we can get some community building going! What's your favorite .WAD and why do you like it?

I am new to DOOM and I'm only just starting to explore what's out there. Right now I've played through fava.wad and found it enjoyable, but I got lost quite often! My current favorite is Ancient Aliens, it is way too hard for me right now, but the first level is just fun, frantic, and the first sequence impressed me a ton. I'm so excited to explore more of what's out there.

The game aged beautifully. The challenge and labyrinthine mapping made for an amazing adventure. I have to say, it really trains the reflexes for shooters, surprisingly.

My favorite and most used is PRBoom+, more specifically the UMAP info fork, since it brings many QOL and modern features compared to the now abandoned and kinda old last official version.

Other source ports I use and love: Eternity Engine, Crispy Doom, DOOM Retro and GZDoom if I'm feeling ""funky"".

Very curious to know lemmy's favorites!
