The sequel to The Invasion created by Moe. It is officially described as a beta version, as the next release would be called Invasion 98 for TeamTNT's BOOM engine, so this explains the lack of new graphics or a patch file for this release, as well as some levels being uncompletable without the use of no clipping. So yeah, it is unfinished. I was having a bunch of fun playing it at first but then it just turned into desperation to get to the end. There's also a story for this WAD but it would only be available when "it's ready", but so far you could interpret the story as Doomguy crash landing onto a nearby river after the Aldorians came back for another invasion, this time on Earth. He then has to go through the city to get to USEC HQ where the aliens have taken over it too, and reaches a space shuttle that can get him over to the UEDO space station and eliminate the demonic threat inside. He eventually ends up back in the caverns of probably Planet Hell and blows up Romero's head once again, and that's pretty much it. Yeah...

The first 9 levels have some very distinct styles, from a river to an old wooden town to some caves and through the city. I quite liked the vibe of the MAP06 even if it was large. The large majority of the levels after that take on a techbase theme as now you're in the USEC installations, and the last two go back to being in the caverns of the enemy territory. Really nice use of design in these levels, but I still feel like the first Invasion is more you could get out of.
