Bank Posted June 1, 2005 Hey, I was searching around a few days ago for some good Wads, I searched through the idgames archive, and found this Wad, it's called Dark Covenant and I am completely blown away! It is completely awesome! It has some of the best trigger-based play I have ever experienced, and taught me the phrase "Just because the door doesn't need a key doesn't mean you can open it just by pressing spacebar!". Not only is the gameplay great, but some of the levels are beautifuly made and original, not to mention, the entire music score is new! So, check it out, I think it's pretty rad. http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=6254 0 Share this post Link to post

Kristian Ronge Posted June 1, 2005 I believe "Dark Covenant" is Erik Alm's favourite WAD of all time. 0 Share this post Link to post
Azriel Posted June 1, 2005 Meh, it didn't impress me that much. Some parts are pretty good though and it's nice that they included Metallica music. (Thank god nothing from the ST. Anger album) 0 Share this post Link to post

Kristian Ronge Posted June 1, 2005 He also mentions "Dark Covenant" as a favourite WAD in his SDA profile. Hm, he lists quite a few other WADs there... maybe "Dark Covenant" isn't really his absolute favourite, then... 0 Share this post Link to post
Bank Posted June 1, 2005 Well it did rank up with titles like AV, Ruinbros, and Nimrod, so, it's seems pretty good to me! 0 Share this post Link to post

Erik Posted June 5, 2005 It's at least the wad I have the most emotional attachment to. Sure, it's not technically perfect, but it's extremely innovative for it's time and it's a lot of fun to play. 0 Share this post Link to post
