The Prometheus Experiment

A short set of maps by the author of the excellent Alkylation. These are not quite as ambitious, but still imaginative and with plenty of quality action. Be prepared in particular for some close-quarters encounters with Revenants, Mancubuses and Barons in tight corridors or confined spaces. There's also a custom designed boss at the end which takes a bit of seeing off....

 

A slight oddity of this wad is the inclusion of mini-levels with just a handful of monsters. The last of these, the 'Postludium', takes place after the boss encounters, and requires you to defeat a Cyberdemon in order to get back to your spaceship. There don't appear to be any ammo or weapons around, so pistol starts are out of the question and you'll be dependent on carryovers from the previous level - make sure to have a good scavenge around before leaving it.

 

Played on UV, continuous, GZDoom.

 

 

Over ammoed, but really fun. I liked it. 4/5 -Moti

Very fun! 4/5 - Pyro

Looks good, real good, but the gameplay isn't very exciting. Some of the ammo placement (particularly cells before plasma gun) is just plain wrong. I'd like to give this a higher score, but I can't. 3/5

I like it. There were some cramped rooms and some moster placement was little bit annoying, but I liked the desing, cutscenes and many other stuff. Especially lot of nice ideas in The Flesh Factory made it unforgottable for me. 4,5/5 Damned

This is a nice mapset. The levels are generally well designed, though there are a few places where they seem a bit more cramped than need be. Monster/item placement is okay, though some items are in slightly annoying places, placed too tightly up against walls and corners. Nice use of unobtrusive and brief scripted cutscenes. 4/5 FP

Cool!

Very nice. 4/5. But how the hell do I get passed the first level; I can't get passed the BFG trap. x.x

Some nice clean cut wads that are pretty fun. Good detail making it fun to look around. Lots of ammo I think but better than not enough. I think this should of got map of the month but who cares. 5/15/07

Pretty impressive, I liked it quite a lot. There were some small flaws, but they were forgivable, it's pretty much what everyone else has said at this point. - Ultimate

Great. I specially love the flesh factory

I liked this mapset. Excellent level design but the monster placement was kind of annoying. There seems to be an excessive amount of archviles, but maybe thats just me.

Very nice, though sometimes the gameplay got old. Good movies and boss battles.

there are a few flaws, but all in all it is a very good mapset, nice starting movie 4/5

Nice, but i agree whit first rewiever - 3/5 Daimon

OMG! Unskippable cutscan0rz!!!111one Seriously: 5/5 and no further commentary is necessary. - Zalewa

@Daimon "whit" ---> "with". Great maps. Excellent detail but average gameplay. Comunque ti dò 5 stelle. Bravo, continua così. 5/5 -Glassyman
