Awesome title screen, scary music, and funny enemies. Fewer points for level design. Really memorable.

I don't like this WAD that much. Despite the fact it throws you to a different universe outside Doom, it's not well made!

 

The levels are maze-like and it makes you often think "Where the hell am I supposed to go?". Maps 9 and 10 had made me open the WAD in GZDoom Builder and check the route and needed keycards. Map 6 even shows a giant arrow on the automap to show where the exit is! Lots of rooms don't have any furniture or any other stuff, like the author was sick of mapping every room in each level, but sometimes it would be nice to see a notable decoration or an object that identifies a room. Military Base looks very domestic.

On the other side, it provides some creativity, like going from one floor to another. You're teleporting to a different area of the map, but you think you're on another floor.

 

The enemies are not that hard to kill. They are different zombies, armed people and civilians. There is a girl holding a zombie's head and it bytes you!?? She is probably out of her mind.

Since it's made for regular Doom 2, this WAD goes out of realism since everybody is trying to kill you and only you! These civilians are just hanging around zombies and feel safe. So concerns armed people too! What kind of zombie apocalypse is it?? I can assume that policemen are changed because, when you deal enough damage, they became blue and bloody, like they are walking deads with pistols. But what's wrong with other people? Why they are not being attacked by zombies unless provoked?

Also civilians roar like a cyberdemon when they spot you - that's confusing. Blue cops sometimes drop a rifle, but they are not armed with it. Looks like these are layouts from Doom 2, and they are actually sergants from Doom, but with changed sprites.

 

BTW, there are also boxes which you can move by shooting them and block a pass for zombies. Unfortunately, they are almost useless.

 

Sniper rifle acts like a shotgun. Bazooka is weak: it kills 2-3 zombies at best and sometimes can't kill a human. Why not provide less rockets, but make every shot more effective? Also there are no digging animations.

 

I know it was made in 1997, but the overall quality is low.

P.S: I wish there would be a decent zombie apocalypse WAD since you can put friendly bots, cutscenes and dialogs in a WAD.

Unique, fun, Doom wad. Would be 5/5 if it weren't for the dated, and confusing level design.

I really liked this TC when I played through it some years ago, but I won't do it again as I'm easily scared. Anyway, great work. -- 5/5

This TC is neither "gorgiouse" nor "FUCKING EXCELLENT". It is a boring, maze-y piece of junk with ugly levels, overpowered humans, and Capstone-level digitized graphics. If you rated this five, then you'd probably enjoy a zombie wow.wad TC. 1/5

I grew up with this TC as a kid and I'm surprised how well it's aged. It could use a remake though, with more zombie variety.

The thing is fucking excellent! Makes me want to watch the movie everytime i play it! And theres one thing the guy did wrong: Description: 'The levels follows George A. Romero's great movies "Dawn of the Dead" & "Day of the Dead", known to as "ZOMBIE 1 & 2"' The movies are not great. THEY ARE FUCKING EXCELLENT!

Mikami speaks more of my language than Romero when it comes to zombies. That aside the TC is quite good considering it's age. The graphics are indeed bad, nowadays. The team done a lot of solid work to make it a TC in the times when everyone was playing Quake. Not as impressing as some modern stuff, but nevertheless, a pretty darn good portion of work. Reccomended. -Nmn

      Great WAD, solidly nails that fantasy castle crawling feeling, not too rough on the player nor overly stingy/generous on supplies, encourages good use of items, plenty of navigation and switch puzzles as is apt for Heretic, but also lets loose with a little slaughter.   Some areas could use slightly brighter lighting, and sometimes the next switch or door isn't signalled too well, but overall a fun and feisty fantasy fight fest.

      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.
