Die, FŸhrer, Die

this is supposedly a faithful recreation of Wolf3D's egregious episode 3, and the only one of the WolfenDoom wads to not be featured in NightFright's ZDoom compatibility pack, so I played it from the download here. what this is more than a recreation, it's basically Doom-ifying the levels in this set by giving some extra attention to stuff that would be more prevalent in Doom like random crates, tables, fountains, stuff that would be more than just Wolfenstein sprite decorations. there's even enemy closet traps, ambient sounds, and light dimming (this I don't really like that much). of course, the problem of the maps being oversized is still prevalent, and Laz would think it's just too easy with the default enemy setup, so there's more enemies to fight in all these levels. have fun on the maze in MAP07 for instance, getting 100% kills is gonna be real hilarious, right.

luckily for this wad, the gameplay is fairly average even with the bigger enemy counts. for some reason you don't get a machine gun in the first map, if you go to the secret that had it, you'd find a chaingun which I guess is okay to have here. the secret exit in MAP07 doesn't actually take you to a secret map, while MAP09 (the boss map) doesn't feature the fake Hitler's for some reason. they're in MAP10, along with the unkillable ghost enemies which basically function like lost souls now. overall though, as faithful as it is, it's oversized maps aren't really as fun or tense as playing the original Episode 3 of Wolf3D, although it's certainly not on the worst side of the scale at all.

a bit of trivia, it seems that all the WolfenDoom sets were created entirely in Macintosh, which makes me wonder exactly how well they would play on that platform instead of PC.
