Z-Dione Attack

Wow, you guys are weak if you quit early. I put difficulty settings there for a reason if you think one setting is too hard. There's also this thing called "monster infighting", use that to your advantage when low on ammo and you should be good. -Impboy

No ammo! I quit on map 4 due to lack of ammo. 1-27-11

Many of the previous reviewers have already pointed out the main gameplay flaws here. It's just unimaginative and boring to play. And I'll knock a star off for resource theft (Icarus music, and no doubt others), just to remind mappers that some people do care about these things. And if you haven't even tried opening the wad in a Boom-compatible port, please don't claim it is Boom compatible. (Sure, there's the workaround of using -warp, but it's sloppy work.)

no competition i like linear gameplay that rocks but this doesnt rock anyway. no traps. no cybers nothin

MAP01 was nicely detailed, but I got bored of the cheap "instant open monster closet" around every corner. Played MAP02 until I got raped at the top of the lift by a bazillion hitscanners with no armor whatsoever. A bit of monster variation would go a long way **

I'm not a big fan of this. It felt repetitive (although I still played all of it, so it wasn't that bad!), and map7 had a bug where, if the mancubi and arachnotrons died at about the same time, the exit became inaccessible without jumping. 2/5.

Seven levels dated March 2010. Map01 pits you against a bunch of zombies in a linear, slightly monotonous map; detailing and colour scheme in the modern style. Gameplay very chaingun-centric. Map02 is very similar, and so is the first bit of Map03; then you go to hell and there's a bit of variation. Map04 has some annoying lava bits. Ammo gets v. tight after that; my interest waned. It has a tonne of plasma ammo but seemingly no plasma gun or BFG.

A not bad mapset, but...the balance is not exist. First few levels are too much ammo. And I can't found the plasma gun, I'm play without pistol start, WHERE IS IT!? It's pain my ass on map04/05/06 because lack of ammo. And even I found that, those levels are not easy still. Map07 is best level I think. 3.5/5 -playerlin

Sadly this fell short with lack of armor in early maps and severe lack of ammo in the latter maps. Map05 for example, after grabbing the blue key, I ran out of ammo after taking down the Barons. And then 6 Cacodemons come in. I quit, thinking this was a huge letdown. Needs a bunch of gameplay tweaks, even without pistol start. 3/5 - Moti

no design flaws that i could see in skulltag, a consistent theme, tough battles that actually made me fell proud to beat.. that is a 5/5 in my book -ROBO-KY

This is a decent episode, better than the original. It has its faults though, ammo can be plentiful in some maps, the combat in the base maps is zombie exclusive. Still it's pretty good for a 17 year old! I'll give it a 4, albeit rather hestitantly, but with a few slight improvements (lava on Map04 weakened, 20% damage when you have to walk it is ridiculous), rocket launcher from Map04 provided from pistol start on Map05, and Chaingun earlier on Map07, this would be a very solid 4.

Very F*ing nice! -Flesh

Christ, two levels in and it was all run around and blast soldiers and shitgunners with a chaingun and a shotgun. Did it bet better? More varied? Interesting? I have no clue cause I quit. meh.

completely unoriginal for the most part. open door, clear room, open next door. every wall has the requisite computer terminal, every key has the requisite fast-open door with new monsters attacking, every backtrack has the requisite new monsters teleporting in. the hell levels are a little more interesting, but not by too much. 2.5/5 NT

DOES NOT WORK IN INTENDED SOURCE PORT. Crashes in Boom ports unless you -warp to maps in the command line, apparently because of a titlepic lump. Apart from that, the maps are pretty bland and uninteresting. 2/5

To the first reviewer: Like I said for Megadoomer about the gameplay, it's supposed to be consecutive and NOT pistol start friendly. This is one of those wads where you need to "save often." -Impboy

I tried all maps on UV from pistol start as per usual seen as it didn't say otherwise. I didn't have too many problems doing that except for map 5 which took about 10 tries. I'll probably replay it consecutive. On the plus side: the detailing is very good. On the minus side: there seems to be rooms full of zombies but little armor. I also noticed lots of monsters stuck in walls and each other. The first time I found armor was on map 5. Anyway 4/5 from me.
