Hello. More PC Zone lvl finalist maps again. 'Domain' by David Brown, which is getting up there with the monster count again. Got lucky Quad Shotgun drop early on Hard Doom on this one!
This entry seemed a little bit higher quality with average '94 quality in mind, but it wasn't without things that could've needed more attention.
NOTE: Getting 100% kills is impossible, unless you resort to 'Idclip' once again. Reason being deaf / inactive monsters waiting to hear the cue to move into their designated teleport line, but that cue never reaches them, so they just stand there instead.
Showing your face briefly with 'Idclip' fixes that problem, tho!
• Visually the level naturally isn't anything great, but it's still moderately good for the era, where it's coming from. There's variety with areas, it uses a little bit height variation in the mix and generally scale of architecture works well with designed encounters and placements.
• Difficulty is mostly mild. I'd say that the first third of the level, has the most difficulty in it... with few traps and locking the player in, but it's still manageable. Then it gets easier by some amount.
• Health & armor resources are still plentiful and ammo reserves won't cause any problems either.
• Dozen of secrets to be found as well. Relatively easy to find, as you often know the location for them.
As for things that weren't quite on-point or could've used improvements
• Well, one thing I realised was, that you need to find a secret to progress, which isn't usually recommended for normal progression.
• Few spots with missing textures
• Obviously those monsters at the end that never end up teleporting in
• Metal bar window at start that you could just walk through.
• And 8th secret was an odd one, as there's nothing else on the sector than 2 imps.
Overall, it was a good one and a decent experience. Good amount of variety in it and no encounter or trap felt unfair. I didn't mind doing it a few times, unlike few of the other maps so far, that I could've left to just one time only.
