Castle of Fear

This was an okay romp with lots of chaingun/shotgun action with some rockets scattered abroad. It feels sorta like it could be a Petersen reject or outtake from the original. Not many stand-out encounters and maybe a little too consistent with the use of marble textures seeing Petersen had a little more variety in texture choices in some sections of his maps. The cyber encounter was likely the highlight if a bit downplayed with a singular face-to-face showdown.

Gameplay is inferior to that of the original id levels. It feels routine and imaginative. And if you are trying to emulate Petersen's style, you should at least know how his name is spelled. Also, a tribute level should have nods to the positive aspects; deliberately including things that you feel make the level worse only does precisely that: makes the level worse.

great gameplay and really replicates petersens style!

It looks not very good, but with some id mapping style made it's not bad. Too many ammo,health on UV... 3/5 -playerlin

Pretty good

Not bad! 4/5
