Filename : underville.wad
Release date : October 26th 2018

Description : With D'Sparil slain and his bodyguard Maulotaurs
defeated you step into a portal
not knowing if it sends you home or to another
twisted world. You are not scared
of what you will find as you have witnessed horrors
far beyond your wildest
imagination. Will you have to fight for the rest of
your life? So be it.
At least you will die proud of yourself, of what
have you achieved.
The light around you fades out and you crouch into
a fighting position with your
wand pointed forward, ready to dispose of yet
another bloodthirsty demon. But there
is no foul beast in sight. All you can see is a
familiar mountain range you have
passed through countless times in the past when
travelling with your Sidhe brothers
and sisters. There's no mistaking it - this is your
world, Parthoris. You are back.
You're starting to get overwhelmed with joy when
you suddenly realize that the only
way to overcome those mountains is getting through
Underville, an ancient underground
village formerly inhabited by a powerful clan of
Ogle miners.
When the Serpent Riders arrived and began
plundering the world the village of
Underville was one of their first targets. As an
important strategic point in war,
it was swarmed by D'Sparil's minions and conquered
soon afterwards.
Nobody was left alive. Beaten in battle or executed
with no mercy all miners were
quickly disposed of and the village was turned into
a bastion of evil. After that
there was no one who could tell what they did to
the place. Even coming near the entrance
meant swift and ruthless death.
There is no way around it. You have to fight again.
D'Sparil's curse is following
you like a shadow seemingly never to leave you
alone. You embrace your destiny,
whatever it is, and determined to end it once and
for all you make your steps
forward.

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.
By entropy122 · PostedWhat the actual f*ck is this map. I love having 4 rockets, a shit ton of bullets and like 10 shotgun shells to take out a revenant, and whatever was in that cage. Doesn't look too bad, maybe this negativity is cus im no expert, also rather unskilled at the game?
By Walter confetti · PostedNot that bad, even kind of interesting find the secrets in the map! But yeah, that switches jungle is a awful choice really.
