You have to be willing to really spend time with it, learn, and be creative. I'm not going to reiterate what's been said a thousand times already about SnapMap, but I will say: yes, there is replay value with SnapMap - but with one major caveat. But, if this is your sort of thing, Arcade Mode can be a huge reservoir of entertainment. At the time, my best score was on Advanced Research Complex, sitting at 49th in the world (this has since been pushed higher by other players, sadly). Which then became, " I want all of my level scores to be in the top 1000". It became a process of setting my own goals and achievements, where at first it was " I want to get a Slayer Ranking on every level". After playing through each level, gaining some terribly pitiful scores, and realizing exactly what Arcade Mode was, I cranked the difficulty to UN and went on a binge for a few months. It takes the slow pace of the campaign (which I didn't even realize was there until I played Arcade Mode), and then gives you a damn good reason to be an overpowered demon-crushing beast. If you enjoy mastering your skills, and attempting to conquer your own scores on leaderboards to see just how high you can get those numbers, Arcade Mode is a well executed game mode in my opinion, with plenty of replay value. However, my general lack of skill just made this too frustrating for me. If you have patience, and a high degree of skill, attempting to beat the campaign on Ultra-Nightmare could, I'm sure, be a huge source of replayability. The first half of the game is definitely more replayable than the latter half, and I think it's due in part to - primarily - two things: (1) You're not as ridiculously overpowered yet, and (2) some of the earlier levels were genuinely non-linear (The Foundry level being a prime example, and hands down my favorite map). I've tried going back and playing through it again, but I get roughly 50-60% of the way through and lose interest. After beating D2016 on UV and then on Nightmare, I haven't found the campaign itself to be very replayable beyond that, personally.
