First of all, let me get one thing out of the way; I'm not really a big Chiko fan. His hacks get a lot of hate from the ROM hack community, and if you've played a lot of his hacks, like I have, you'd probably know why. This hack is probably one of Chiko's better hacks, even though that isn't really saying much. First of all, the graphics and sound are VERY nice, especially for Chiko standards. Even though a few graphics are taken from other hacks, they still look very good without getting repetitive. The hack features new music, as well. The music is also pretty good. Chiko would soon go on to use a lot of these tracks in his later hacks, for better or for worse. The level design in this hack, sadly, isn't really all that good, and can be total BS at times. The shoddy level design makes this hack very difficult for all the wrong reasons. To be fair, this isn't the worst level design we've seen from Chiko, but the level design here, especially when compared to other Rockman 5 hacks such as Wily's Dream Space(WDS) and Air Sliding, is very unforgiving. Speaking of WDS.... A lot of boss patterns, weapons, enemy stats, etc. are taken DIRECTLY from WDS. This is the main reason why I don't really like this hack. The only weapon that's different from WDS is the Napalm Bomb, probably because the Napalm Bomb in WDS wasn't all that great. Anyway, another thing taken from WDS is the enemies' stats, meaning they take as many hits as they did in that hack. And in WDS, the enemies were pretty damned tough! Combine the annoyingly strong enemies with the BS level design, and you're left with a hack that's very difficult, for me at least. With all these problems, I'll give Dood in Wily's Last an overall recommendation to proceed with caution. I, personally, hope Chiko improves from his bad hacks and makes them better, instead of just releasing the same crap to the public over and over again (LuckyMan, I'm looking right at you). Maybe, when the time is right, he'll release a hack that people besides Insectduel will actually like.
