Doom Level Database

All 132 maps of the four classic games in one table: the 36 of The Ultimate Doom, the 32 of Doom II and the 32 each of TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment. For every map you get who designed it, which track plays, the par time straight from the engine, how many official secrets it has and how big it is, and a report card we compute from our own engine datasets: how many monsters you face on Ultra-Violence and how many hit points that adds up to, how much ammo a single player can pick up, what that ammo is worth in damage, and whether the balance between the two is tight, balanced or generous.

How to read the report card

The thing counts per map come from the Doom Wiki’s level articles, which list every monster and pickup per skill level; we use the single-player column for skill 4–5. Hit points come from our enemies database, pickup amounts from our items database, and the damage potential multiplies the ammo by the mean damage per round of the basic weapon for each type from our weapons database. A weapon on the floor counts for two clips, a backpack for one clip of each type. The ratio ignores misses, infighting, berserk and the BFG, so read it as a comparison between maps rather than a promise about any one of them. The same rules drive the WAD X-ray, so you can read any PWAD map against these numbers.

Where the numbers come from

Par times are the engine’s own tables: Doom II’s table also serves Final Doom, and the fourth episode of The Ultimate Doom has no par times at all, so those cells stay empty rather than borrowing a figure from a later port. Secrets are the official secret sectors the Doom Wiki walkthroughs number. Every map name links to its Doom Wiki article, whose content is available under CC BY-SA 4.0.
