go when map authors don't put enough of them

+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
14. House of Shadows:Author: Psyren

into a 1024 map!
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
19. Lip Service :Author: Potgiesser
:Description: Set in a techbase nukage filtration/transport
facility. There may or may not still be a cyberdemon
in it, because no one has the sense to try running

an idiot.

23. Close Quarters :Author: Job
:Description: This one is very tightly packed
with enemies and should keep the guns blazing
almost the whole level through. A big challenge
with slight difficulty implementations, it's
all the carnage that could be crammed into
1024x1024... Recommended for the masochistic.
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
24. Zyklon B :Author: Stealthy Ivan
:Description: Stuck to a more classic theme/design. Oh, and
it's tough as nails!!!
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
25. Stein und Stahl :Author: Catsy
:Description: Hell/metal/marble theme. Brutal and fast-paced, heavy use
of monster pen teleports to fill out areas you thought
you already cleared.
:Music: "Evolution (The Grand Design)" by Symphony X
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
26. Tower of Hades :Author: The Flange Peddler
:Description: Four portals and lots of demons... Don't look
down.
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+
27. Marbelous! :Author: Cycloid
:Description: Marble and Blood themed with emphasis on changes
in height to create space and lay out the route.
Tried to go for a "true" 1024 so there's no monster
teleports but there is a little scenery outside
the box, inc the exit room. Door bars inspired
by tekbrik.wad. lowering switches taken from my
own megawad, which uses this theme for it's final
episode because I liked it so much.
+-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+

By Zerofuchs · PostedGreat WAD, solidly nails that fantasy castle crawling feeling, not too rough on the player nor overly stingy/generous on supplies, encourages good use of items, plenty of navigation and switch puzzles as is apt for Heretic, but also lets loose with a little slaughter. Some areas could use slightly brighter lighting, and sometimes the next switch or door isn't signalled too well, but overall a fun and feisty fantasy fight fest..thumb.png.ef7adf227f049ad68cb857c9e71b313c.png)
By Darman Macray · PostedThese levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this is a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.
By Walter confetti · PostedA really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.
By Fireseth · PostedOnly six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay. EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.
