Scythe 2

Scythe 2 is a 29-level megawad for Doom II. Released by Erik Alm in June of 2005, it has been regarded by many as a spiritual successor to Scythe rather than a direct sequel. While the original featured small, action-packed levels, Scythe 2 is filled with large, complex and detailed maps, and is sometimes compared to the style of Alien Vendetta.

Scythe 2 is split into six episodes, and upon finishing one the player loses all their weapons and ammo and is forced to start the next episode with a pistol and fist. Each contains a different style and setting. The hellish episode differs from the rest in that it does not consist of five levels; it has only two (MAP26 and MAP27) due to the fact that the last 3 levels were not released with the megawad. MAP28 exists, but only contains a metal box. Alm explains in the megawad's text file:

''unfortunately, the last 3 levels are missing, because I am so lazy and I haven't been satisfied with my attempts at making map28. I _might_ release the last 3 maps some time in the future, but do not count on it.''
