Abyssal Speedmapping Sessions: Session 12

Quite interesting maps with a unique aesthetic and an attractive design in most levels. 10 maps, 4 more than the previous session and with a particularly nice theme but somewhat explosive and terrible for the end. The gameplay is usually quite fast and explosive, but manageable, until of course, the ending, which I feel ruins the main essence and turns this into a joke. But it's ASS, these maps are usually jokes (some bad or some good) even so I think it's better than the previous session and has a few quite memorable scenes. Xaser and Darsycho create some pretty interesting maps with an appreciable magnitude that I think it's worth trying if you don't want to play the full session. There are certain maps that have a rather cryptic progress and I'm not even sure if they can be completed without some form of cheating (MAP02 and MAP04) but still, I had fun. I would've probably give this map 3 stars if it wasn't for the horrible arch-vile traps at the end of each map.

 

Xaser is just great at creating this kinds of levels.

very cool maps in this session! Too bad i found myself without any ammo on map01 and map02... uhm, there's also too much archviles for my taste...

FOA guys, have all the fun in the world creating this. Having said that, it looks like you were all focussed on special texture use, decoration and heavy monster placement, but forgot to think and/or did not have enough time for thinking about the gameplay. Which is IMHO overall plain awful. 1* because I prefer gameplay far above ambiance, and consider limited build time as no excuse for poor quality. But again: have fun.
