After you defeated Korax and his three sidekicks you thought the world of men was safe... you were wrong. Another fowl being rules his own dimension and promises to unleash his dark powers on humankind. Once a devoted priest in the church, Zoweseandek was led astray by the course of evil of the Serpent Riders. His obssesion with the dead led to a fowl practice of necromancy. Given more power by Korax he learned to conjure the spirits of the dead to work for evil and wreak destruction on mankind. Allowed to return to earth, he could acquire more power and wipe out many more of your kind. He must be stopped! Your quest begins...
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 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.
