It's not. In most people's opinion, it's a very dry set of levels, and I agree with them on that. The levels are intended to be played pistol start only, which would probably make the sparse and weak encounters feel less dull, but I think that only helps so much, because the level design just not very satisfying.

If you want Eternal Doom, but actually good, check out Epic and Epic 2, which draw a fair bit of inspiration from them. They're still not for everyone, but they're leagues ahead of them in design, with more rewarding and straight forward exploration, and some challenging combat to actually entertain you. Gets lightly slaughtery at times, but I figure on HMP it shouldn't be that vulgar.

The progression and conveyance in Eternal Doom was not particularly stellar, no.

It's a pretty slow and dry .wad, and it has a certain reputation for a reason.
Worth noting is that it was originally a project by one team, and then the project was absorbed by TeamTNT, who did a lot of changes, the original map authors have also stated that the maps are intended to be played from pistol start, that progressive play ruins it.

Alexander S. 'Eternal' loves this .wad, to the point that his online handle is Eternal. He took a lot of inspiration from it when making Epic 2, emulating its style of progression, however he does a substantially better job at it, and he gives it far more fun combat. It's essentially Eternal Doom done the proper way, it looks beautiful, it's huge and atmospheric, it feels like a long journey, and it's full with great and intense combat. The progression is occasionally somewhat unclear, but not even close to the point of Eternal Doom.

I hate switch hunts so much I cannot stand it. I want switch hunt to be a demon so I can shoot it.

Oh no, not switch hunting!

>I was losing interest in the middle, but the last few maps pulled me back in.
It's a pretty mixed bag, but it does some interesting thing.
Map 30 I think was exceptionally weak though, even by Map 30 standards.

>Is there a name for "What did that button do?" syndrome? That's the biggest problem this megawad had
I guess either Hexenitis, or pic related.
If this was a thing that bothered you, then I'd suggest not playing Eternal Doom, it's infamous for this.

>>4756462
That really sucks, man, I hope you make it through. Don't give up and lay down and die, you're better and stronger than her.

Y'know, even if the levels play like fucking ass, the music is tight as fuck.

I don't think Final Doomer can fix what's wrong with Eternal Doom.

>>4404965
Well that'd make the weapons much better, but you'd still have Eternal Doom style maps.
