The painful castle of horror

Easy map. Can be done on Nightmare in less than 30 seconds.

This is a pretty artistic doom wad. it is really cool looking and the music is ok, but the actual level is pretty crappy...

This PWAD is horrible. The design is awful, with many unmarked doors and passages that must be found, and totally confusing "puzzles". I had to use IDDT extensively to figure out what the heck I was supposed to do. Not only does the gameplay suck, but the background music is totally unsuited to Doom and irritating.

This is doesnt really live up to its name. It is horribly painful, but its debateable whether its a castle. Do yourself a favor and shoot the barrels at the start to kill yourself and stop playing the map. Dr. Zin

It's okay, about average for 95. Watching the demo is mandatory, otherwise you gotta hump every damn wall in the place (even those behind barrels - get it?) I liked that forest full of goodies you could see way down below, and the music fits the castle theme pretty well.

And the "least fitting music" goes to...

Okay all I have to say is that its fuckin hard! WHY THE HELL DO YOU GET ASS RAPED AT THE BEGINNING! The painful cstle of horror.... pffft More like thet painful passing of shit......

Pretty easy until Cyberdemon. After that it was total hell. I tested this level with Zdoom engine, so it migth be best to block Cyberdemon with "block monster" - line.

Now I am not defending this wad in anyway as the map architechture is not the greatest and it can be very annoying and what not. But saying this the gameplay is kind of interesting, figuring out how to pass each room can be very tedious, but for some reason I found it strangely addictive finding the maps different quirks and barring the classical music in the background did not find this too bad. But this one may be too unconventional for most Doomers 3/5

Amusing for the name and its quasi-English readme file (the author loves "playing soccer, computer and my wife" and furthermore he thanks his wife and his "best boy-friend"!). The map itself isn't as bad as all that; it needs work on the unmarked doors (and staircase segment) and the Cyberdemon battle doesn't work at all. But it kept me amused for ten minutes or so.
