Judgment is a 34-level megawad for Doom II, developed by Blake Collins (Rayziik) and initially released in October 2021, followed by an upload to the /idgames archive in December. It uses DeHackEd features extensively and introduces new monsters, weapons, textures and sprites. The project has been in development for more than eight years from summer of 2013 till winter of 2021.
Judgment received an honorable mention at the Cacowards in 2021.
On December 10, 2023, Rayziik released an updated version, Judgment: Retrial,[1] followed by another update on August 20, 2024,[2] and smaller fixes on March 16, 2025.

Content[edit]
Weapon changes[edit]
- Pistol: Replaced with a rifle, it fires faster and is perfectly accurate.
- Chaingun: Replaced with the minigun, it fires much faster but is no longer able to "chaingun tap".
- Plasma gun: Projectiles look sleeker and sound quieter.
- BFG-9000: Sprites are changed to the BFG-2704.
- Chainsaw: In Retrial, it is replaced with the impact gauntlet.
Monster changes[edit]
- Imp: Renamed to dark imp, its projectile attack has been changed to the lightning ball.
- Demon/spectre: It moves slightly faster and its attack's damage happens earlier in the animation.
- Cacodemon: Its attack is now to launch two projectiles in quick succession.
- Baron of Hell: Renamed to lord of heresy, it launches two attacks in quick succession and is smart enough to cancel an attack if the target hides.
- Lost soul: Renamed to forgotten one, it now moves slightly faster and will immediately attack on sight, but its health and damage are lowered.
- Arachnotron: Its width has been shrunk down to 100 in order to allow it to squeeze into tighter spaces.
- Pain elemental: It now has a chance to immediately retaliate after its pain state and it will launch an extra forgotten one upon death.
- Spiderdemon: Replaced by the much more powerful spider demolisher.
New monsters[edit]
- Former marine: Tougher former human who fires repeatedly while the target is in sight, similar to Wolfenstein SS.
- Former captain: Tougher former sergeant who fires repeatedly while the target is in sight.
- Former shock trooper: Tougher former human who fires plasma bolts repeatedly while the target is in sight, but its firerate is quite slow.
- Former brute: Tougher former sergeant who has a super shotgun. Its attack is similar to the shotgun guy's, but it performs two sequential shots.
- Baby cacodemon: A baby cacodemon with a smaller and weaker projectile attack.
- Fallen: A fast, flying demon who launches revenant missiles from above.
- Azazel: A bulky goat demon that launches two groups of four wider spreading mancubus fireballs.
- Wraith: An extremely fast imp-like demon that only uses melee attacks and can teleport short distances.
- Nightshade: A floating demon with a unique bouncing projectile attack, who cannot be revived by an arch-vile.
- Archon of Hell: A strong and bulky Hell noble with multiple attack patterns and an explosion on death, smart enough to cancel an attack if the target hides, and who cannot be revived by an arch-vile.
New items[edit]
The clip and box of bullets are updated to a rifle magazine (or "some rounds" in Retrial) and a box of rifle rounds.
