The Abaddon

An ok "Hell Castle" themed map, with a classic feel, and an obvious... beginner-that-shows-promise vibe. Its main issue is that its way too simple. From the enemy placement, to the traps, to the ambushes, there's nothing special to talk about here. The visuals are a great example. Nothing is wrong, but the use of red brick for 90% of the map makes it a forgetabble one, despite the otherwise decent atmosphere that the fits-like-a-glove MIDI manages to create.

 

Its A pleasant experience...map design,fights and lightning work are impressive...last fight can be a lot more better...

^Haha, I literally face-palmed myself when I read this. The truth is that this was made when I only really used Zdoom for a source port (hence the sky trick) and lift with tag 0. I played this map in PRBOOM later and realized that I had to actually tag my lift to make it work with other ports; afterwards I went into Doombuilder and did exactly that. Looks like I missed one! Anyway, thanks for the feedback. After 3 years of mapping I've improved quite a bit so future WAD's shouldn't disappoint.

ROFL, I load the game, make two steps to the right and suddenly I'm stuck. That has to be a record. Aside from this and a couple of zdoomisms (sky trick in the outdoor area doesn't work in classic ports, also there is a lift with a zero tag (non-fatal)), it's a fine classic style map, the author definitely got the gameplay right with many fun fights and exciting traps. Looking forward to this guy's next wad.

I thought it was OK. I had fun playing it and that's what matters. It's good for a beginner too. 3/5. -TRRobin.

That's preety fun level too. 4/5 - Optimus

Since this is a recent upload (Jan 2013), why not fix those few little errors so the map can be played in PrBoom and other various ports? It's okay to re-upload the same file, as an update to your previous upload.

This is a fairly nice map with a very classic feel to it - it's hard to pin down, but something about it feels appropriately chaotic and demonic. I enjoyed playing it. 4/5 - ZZ
