The Grim Reaper

Interesting lyrical puzzles in a brown-y dungeon, some custom textures and fun gameplay.

Played on UV, GLBoom+

This is a very decent map for its era, but is not without its flaws. Plenty of enemies and traps, but more than enough health, armour and ammo to deal with them. The trickiest bits are the section near the beginning, where a couple of the chaingunners appeared to be able to shoot through solid barriers, and an 'infinitely tall' imp can cause problems, and the encounter with a couple of archviles later on, which needs to be dealt with promptly and effectively.

The lyrically-related puzzles are an interesting element and work pretty well. The elevator device near the end is clumsy though - it takes an eternity to go up and down, and the situations it engenders are predictable and tame.

If you want to experience a more challenging and polished map by this author, try his later Hidden Mountain Factory wad.

Around 65/100 for this level though.
