The Overcoming

The Overcoming is what happens when someone decides to make an ZDoom map without understanding the fundamentals of Doom mapping. This level consist of long corridors separated by square rooms, each with its own ZDoom gimmick, populated by Imps and Former Humans. Now the later part is not inherently an issue as pistol only maps can be fun if well executed. See Community Chest 1 Map01 for example. Here in The Overcoming the level provides too much ammo for the amount of enemies present. I will give the author credit for attempting a pistol only level as there are not enough of those.

 

Nice, simple and fun. 4 stars

get's old real quick

Chocholate rain. This is a simple map that, as the readme points out, resembles the Playstation version of Doom a bit (there are coloured lighting effects but few details). Chocolate rain. There are 84 baddies, exclusively imps and zombiemen. Chocolate rain. There's a dark maze. The secret shotgun is hidden behind an unmarked door that doesn't open. Chocolate rain. It's basically a bog-standard, empty-feeling 1994 level with lighting effects. I like turtles.

You know, It's rare when a good simple wad comes around. I want more maps like this. ~Csonicgo

^ No need to put chocolate rain after each sentence and I like turtles at the end. Btw, 5/5.

good

Simple indeed and I did find the shotgun by the way. The only problem I hade with this map was the blue maze. 6/12/07
