About This File

The Abbey of Desecration.

For generations the very mention of the Abbey has caused those living under its shadow to make Warding signs and gesture the speaker to silence himself. Now you, as a seasoned adventurer of many campaigns, have decided to rid the land of its foul presence in return for the ever-lasting favour of those you free.

Led by guides as far up the mountain as they dare, you are left to make the final climb on your own. Finally, you come to a tunnel which you follow through to a vast volcanic crater, now filled with a huge glacier in the centre of which, impossibly, floats the Abbey itself. But you have no time to ponder the unlikelyhood of the scene, for the denizens of this place of evil have spotted you and not very happy to see you...

(End cheesy mood setting section) This is a large Hexen level, which I have made on and off over several months (the architechtural base was started in Heretic, which I converted to Hexen when I got it). It features heaps of scripts, a few polyobs and heaps of monsters. It may slow down in places (it does on my dx4-100), too many big open areas connected together. Sorry. I promise I won't do it next time. Still, try it out, let me know what you think.

A walled town on an icy mountain with houses, an abbey, graveyards, and a dungeon. It all looks quite good visually, and there is a strong sense of scale and height to the buildings. The progression is good, with the player being given all 4 weapons over time. The 4th weapon comes in handy as there are over 250 monsters in the relatively small level, and a few large horde fights. The way forward isn't always intuitive, but the level isn't very big so there's not too many places to look. Overall a very cool level.

Great, although I could never figure out how to get the castle key or the axe key.

Not the prettiest Hexen level, but decent to play. Requires a brain to defeat, more so than brawn in general--some areas are rather puzzley and might confuse some, but nothing a Hexen master can't handle. The biggest letdown is that the ending is very abrupt--no boss, not even a special portal, just a teleport pad and you're suddenly on Seven Portals. It just screams "to be continued" but it's just the one level.

Not a bad map, though there are quite a lot of occasions to make monsters infight. 4/5 for most of the effort - printz

      These 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.

      A 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.

      Only 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.

      Lots 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.

      It'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.
