Abandon is a set of 17 extremely challenging, grandiose, and impressive slaughter maps, entering beta in 2020 and finalized in 2023.

I don't have the patience right now to single-segment these maps, so I will be uploading segmented demos. I will allow myself a save before each "fight," but no mid-fight saves/rewinds.

This is my favorite map in the set so far. The fights here all feel different and challenging. The hardest part undoubtedly has to be the absolute mayhem that breaks out in the "teardrop-shaped cavern." A ridiculous amount of demons will spawn all around you, and you just don't have the firepower. And just to make it even worse, there are four arch-viles overseeing the arena, greatly limiting your options. And don't think about running to the narrow end of the room until things have stopped spawning in, as the room's shape means you will get trapped and torn to pieces. Brutal.

We also get the BFG for the first time here and, oh boy, you're gonna need it. I think around 600 revenants appear in that final encounter alone. It actually isn't that hard with the right strategy: You want to drag them all outside the building to avoid getting surrounded. Only when you feel like you can't reasonably stay any longer, you can try and make it back inside.

Good stuff!
