Small doom1 E1 episode

A complete mix bag with some good ideas but suffers from cramped rooms & bad hitscanner placements mixed with the high density of monsters.

 

2.5/5

Cramped, tedious, faceless. Competently executed but lacks a spark.

Definitely not E1 Style. In fact, this is a mixture of styles unlike anything else. There are textures from E1, E2, E3, and E4. Some realistic details are used that belong more in Duke3d - such as toilets, chairs, theaters, etc.. I never was a fan of realistic detail in Doom, although the author should get credit for the effort. The game play is a nice challenge, and ammo is well balanced. Smallde1.wad will appeal to people who are looking for something completely different.

This gets a 5, because it perfectly captures what Doom should be all about.

Aside of weak visuals and bad music selection, many gameplay flaws is here: greedy ammo/health balance, tight space, high monster density, interfering overdetailing (for example try to play m7 from scratch). Anyone who voted this stuff as 5 stars is completely sick. **

in doom.exe, choco and prboom(soft) it looks simply horrible. defenitely zdoom & jdoom is bad choice for testing "just limit removing" maps. sounds is awful too. *.

solid maps, 3.5 (4)/5

It's not super high in production value, but the wad can be very enJoyable if you have a very itchy mouse hand, and by that I mean you'll be shooting left, right and center all of the time, not to mention sweating profusely to get your accuracy down pat so that you can breath comfortably with 30-something % health and more maddening zombies chasing your backside... phew I can pause and breath now... But, yeah, very good maps if not too hard or overpopulated.

I don't know why files are not processed anymore. But anyway I downloaded this wad and really enjoyed playing it. I really enjoyed the retro like designs of the maps but some areas were unrealistic and I didn't like some of the music in the wad. Definetly a download that should be taken not of. 4 Stars -PC

This wad is awesome. No, I really mean it: This wad is Awesome. There is definitely enough detail, monster placement is good, it's fast paced, a good challenge even for more seasoned doomers... The only possible downside is that the map layouts in general tend to be simplistic and sometimes a little repetitive, giving off a slightly amateurish feel. But who cares, there's tons of great authentic Doom action to be had! Play it, now! 5/5

Fun but also frustrating. **** -sargebaldy

pretty darn good. fun as all hell but sometimes a bit annoying with all the damn hitscanners! still a lot of fun though. detail's fine, but some of the texture choice and architecture is a bit iffy. based on the readme, i expected it to be pretty easy. it definitely was not easy, especially not m9. ***** for gameplay *** for visuals (i gave it 4)
