95' city infested with demons. Look at that telephone booth. The music is Awesome!.

Techbase infested to the roots. He also worked on Strain and Requiem later on. Tough on UV.

A big, squarish couple of maps sets in some sort dungeon place with some abstract looking caverns (one sets in a small canyon and the other in a cramped ice cavern) and having the most infested swamps i've seen so far in Hexen, near to a level of complete ridiculousness. Also includes some pretty weird choices Also, the exit can't be activated for some strange reason in zandronum. Not a fun or good level, neither the really rare good parts like the staircase and the lighting works can save this map from being just not that good imo.

Revolution by TVR Revolution is a limit removing megawad for Doom 2 published on 2003 by Thomas van der Velden. I have beat this wad several times, as it is one of favorite fan content for these games. At the time of writing this review, I have just beat it on Ultra Violence, on continuous play and saving after every key using Doom Retro with the awesome Midi Pack This wad is famous for popularizing the Doom Cute aesthetic. The levels are more or less based on real locations, and the ingenious use of texture works great in its favor to recreate places such as moving trains, cinema theaters, factories, mansions and so forth. At the time of release, the megawad received mixed reviews, while many players praise the realistic locales and the creativity, some others found the difficulty too low. Despite of this, the wad has achieve a cult status and it is often recommended for new players or fans of realistic architecture in Doom. 20 years later, it is hard not to see the wad influence in map sets like Anomaly Report, Monster Hunter Limited, Nostalgia and some others. Difficulty wise, this may be between the original Doom campaign, and Doom 2. None of the levels get particular frantic, and there is plenty of health items around the map. TVR intention appears to be more on trying to tell a story and letting the player explore the levels without too much pressure. This may be a drawback for people looking for a harder experience, but it is perfect for a chill afternoon or for people starting to get into fan content. On 2022, the map set and its midipack were added to the unity release making it even more accesible. Revolution is divided into roughly three episodes. The first set of maps take place on planet earth and are roughly based on real locations while moving into tech base territory at the end of the episode. This is followed by a set of maps which have an hellesque aesthetic mixed up with brick bases kind of similar to the first Darkening Episode. Finally, the last episode combines surreal landscapes (such travelling the innards of a giant worm) with temple ruins. There is an increase of difficulty on each episode, but as it has been mentioned before it rarely gets very too deadly. I have beat this map set around three times and at the time of writing this review my death count was quite low. All three episodes are memorable, but I find the last set of maps less so than the rest. They are not bad, but they feel more generic than the early escapades. Overall, Revolution is an enjoyable romp made out of gorgeous vanilla maps and exploratory based gameplay. You may want to look into it if you are getting into fan content, or if you have a knack for a more relaxed kind of gameplay. Veterans, or people looking for more challenging content may feel up being disappointed. Favorite Maps: - Map 03 Infestation: A sandbox level set on some city ruins. Pretty good level with some powerful weapons hidden. It´s main gimmick is that after every key a new set of enemies is released into the contested streets. - Map 12 Utopia: The player is tasked to explore a demon infested city. Have a cool fight against a Cyberdemon inside a chapel and some nasty teleporter ambushes near the end. I love the city design. - Map 13 Dead End: A weird map in which the player is ambushed by a Cyberdemon and needs to traverse some lava infested caves to telefrag him. It is one of the most combat oriented maps of the megawad. - Map 23 Pyramid of Pain: An exploratory level set on a pyramid. Full of traps and little puzzles. Kind of feels like a Tomb Raider inspired map. - Map 26 Phragmobasidium: An Innmost Dens / Circle of Death inspired map set on a series of small islands surrounded by waste. Some nasty fights on this one as the player traverse tight catwalks while being sniped from afar.

3.5/5 You can find a berserk pack early, and 80% of the infestation roams on foot and mocked your butt in a past life, so Tyson is the best way to play this! I'm a sucker for the off-kilter NEIS / DTWID: Lost Episodes vibe, a quirkiness the dingy custom textures help reinforce. Every area is unnecessarily huge, which also feels cool. Little stood out to me beyond all of that, and the design isn't always the "in a good way" sort of rough, but I had an alright time. Would replay if I felt like fisting imps and zombies again. Could have used a cyb. :NIH:
