The sheer amount of ideas and creativity is mind boggling and a lot of fun.<br /> <br />I'm quite new to playing through doom's decades of legacy, allthough I played it back in the 90ies of course. Many wads are still too hard for me and often I lose interest because it's frustrating. Not with this one. This wad makes you want to beat it, even if some situations seem impossible at first.<br /><br />The maps are incredibly sound evocations of the underlying ideas, all the details fit together, the places are convincing and tell the story on their own while the tounge in cheek intermissions and the elevator music add a strong personality that is just plain enjoyable. The author uses the limited pallete of the stock texures to a stunning degree.<br /><br />Very entertaining. <br /><br />This is also my first venture into slaughter(ish) gameplay and I am learning a lot while having a blast.<br />makkEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751419395938456981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-43601537159692274962017-03-09T00:00:55.008-06:002017-03-09T00:00:55.008-06:00One of the best wads I've ever played.One of the best wads I've ever played.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-71458986183538657842016-03-20T05:25:40.719-05:002016-03-20T05:25:40.719-05:00I'm finally getting around to playing this and...I'm finally getting around to playing this and I have to say the say the single greatest accomplishment here, besides the brilliantly simple idea and the amazing executions, is giving me a new appreciation for the stock texture set.

Not all the maps are immortal gems and some even have, let's say, suspect gameplay, but oh wow, I had fun in all of them... except perhaps the first two. It's like mouldy gradually lures you into his world and when the elevator gets underground, you just accept his game and you enjoy whatever crazy idea he throws at you. mouldy certainly is a creative guy and has no problems establishing a "mapper identity". One of the best 2014 releases for sure! -dewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-25411335042363744232014-10-15T08:28:19.967-05:002014-10-15T08:28:19.967-05:00i did not know that, but thats p cooli did not know that, but thats p coolKMX E XIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745439363707845462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781490333212566792.post-31875792191642285102014-10-15T00:09:34.814-05:002014-10-15T00:09:34.814-05:00Map19 has different enemy arrangement and type in ...Map19 has different enemy arrangement and type in lower skillsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
