2Doom Classic video #27
(30.6.1994)
(Links, secrets and more information at the bottom of the description)
Hello. Last one of the 1994 June wads, before we're moving to the next month.
This one's been made by Marc Norris and it's his 1st one. It's a relatively quick one to do and mostly rather easy.
• In general, you can see some thought behind enemy placements and few triggers, which is good for your average Doom-experience. There are few traps around, but keys are safe to grab, unlike we've come to be wary about during more modern Doom levels.
• There's some detail here and there, mostly variety with rooms themselves and some lighting. Often you see, how some mappers lean towards either narrow or wide rooms and this one's leaning more towards smaller areas.
• There's a tiny bit of backtracking, but it's mostly straightforward, if you note the key locations in your mind.
• As often with old wads, ammo / hp / armor balance is quite favorable for the player, so you shouldn't have any issues of reaching the end.
There aren't any big problems with this one, but you'll occasionally tend to notice, how texturing could've used some extra attention. Excluding secrets, which are usually giving the clue with misaligned textures, some surfaces are just off or the wall is too long for the chosen texture, allowing you to see a small strip of repeat here and there.
Secrets with invulnerabilities felt quite unnecessary, but then again, so did SS and Mega-armor bonuses.
But that's about it, as far as proper negatives go.
Overall, it was a relatively quick and easy to blast through these slightly smaller-sized rooms vs. average expectation, while being well-supplied with firepower and health.
Enjoyable little snack from a 1st-timer.
