Temple of Damnation

Quake3 map copy...

This map is beautifully done--excellent architecture and great use of classic textures. You manage to use a lot of red without it being annoying. The game play is quite rough on UV, which is kind of fun but I do think it starts out too rough. I was out of ammo quickly in the beginning, and it seemed like the plasma rifle was more of a necessary item than a secret. Other than that, this was very interesting and has potential.

Very, very, very good!!!! The design could be cleaner and more systematic. The monster placement was fun and strategic, and the new monsters were fun, but it could be much better still to be optimal. Could use several improvements but still a terrific map!!!

Nice architecture, poor gameplay, unfortunately. New monsters are just... bleh !

You have potential, my friend. Keep up the great work!

An impressive first attempt. But the lack of ammo, poor monster placement and the annoying custom monsters ruin it. 2/5 stars.

not enough armo and very hard...

Would have given 5 stars, but reduced to 4 because it's one of those wads where secrets are necessary just to live due to ridiculous ammo constraints.

This is a nice map, even more impressive considering it is the author's first. Great layout, visuals, and architecture. The one major fault, as others mentioned, is that there simply isn't enough ammo. Even with manufacturing plenty of monster infighting, I still didn't have enough ammo unless I found the secrets. Secrets should never be necessary. This is a real shame because it would have been so easy to fix, yet really puts a damper on an otherwise great map.

Simon Dupuis' mapping stlye is to make awesome-looking detailed maps with colored lighting LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. The gameplay may be seen as tough but not at all a problem for someone with pistol-starting experience. Actually the gameplay is really better than BttF.wad. The plasmagun secret is not necessary but is overpowered given ~500 non-secret cells. It is very strange that the author maps so well yet can't properly make secrets. 4 for gameplay, 4 for looks, overall 4/5. WANT MORE YOUR MAPS! -Korshun

0/5, generic first map.

A very good start, impressive architecture.

Very good inferno map. Start is very hard due to the lack of ammo. Secrets are almost necessary. Ending could have been better. 4.5/5
