Misc. Author Info :
Description : Discovering the Hell: The Invasion (DTHTI) is a 8
levels wad, which 2 of them are boss levels (one is secret). The levels are
simple detailed being more focused in design and challenge itself, provi-
ding some natural, tech base and hellish scenarios.
The monster count is lower than normal, but they are stronger and faster,
so be careful. For this reason, It is highly recommended to play with mouse
look, and you will need to jump and crouch a bit, so don't be afraid of
using it.
All the songs are in mp3 format and were made by myself especially for THIS
and FUTURE doom levels. If you like any, feel free to use on your wad, but
id love to be contacted and credited. Here's a description of each level
and music:
LEVEL 1: Open Research Complex
A linear medium-sized tech base level. Mostly enemies are weak and
easy to kill, but be careful with some traps. In the middle section there's
a secret with a super-shotgun, that will facilitate in some more burocratic
areas.
Music: Basic drum'n'bass track with synthetizer riff which gives some more
technical and adrenalin feel.
LEVEL 2: Ganymade's Fields
More open spaced level, with a central green area with some ruins
and trees. In beginning, there´s a bifurcation which you can only choose
one of the paths, leading to the central non-linear field.
Music: A more calming but groovy sound from a electronic sound bass.
LEVEL 3: Isolated Complex
Start´s with a similar theme from previous level, leading to a
tech base with some secrets experiments and lots of dump toxins.
Music: A groovy rock track, starting with a 7/8 signature heavy section
turning later to a 4/4 speed rock.
LEVEL 4: Ganymade's Ruins
Main ruin themed level, with some open field in the beginning.
Some traps and small challenges are expected, as usual.
Music: Beautiful and atmospheric eletronic sound, with lot of pads,
leads and electronic bass.
LEVEL 5: Undiscovered Cave
A dark cave themed level. Very linear and long, some diffe-
rent middle sections and a boss battle in the end.
Music: Atmospheric track with some guitar and drums with reverb, giving
a isolated and undiscovered feeling.
LEVEL 6: The Other side
Another more linear level, focused on hellish theme. Some open
space in beginning with a castle in later sections.
Music: groovy eletronic sound in the beginning with a heavier rock later
section.
LEVEL 7: One of the five rulers
Final boss battle.
Music: Same as level 1.
LEVEL 8: Secret-Level: Desvastated Land
Secret level. Beat the boss and get a prize (:
Music: Same as level 6.
At last, some interesting info that will help during gameplay:
- Pistol has 100% accuracy.
- Rockets limited to 15 (30 with backpack), but does at least double
damage.
- Cells limited to 150 (300 with backpack), so don't be afraid to use
it when you got enought (:

By Darman Macray · PostedThese levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this is a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.
By Walter confetti · PostedA really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.
By Fireseth · PostedOnly six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay. EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.
By CravenCoyote · PostedLots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches. Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.
By costadevale · PostedIt's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
