I've played a lot of crappy levels this month. None of them compare to this one, though. It's a real stinker, and practically every pixel in this episode is a mess. I present to you the current crown jewel of mediocre maps and mods, Nuke The Bastards!

Just about every frustrating thing you can think of is here, and almost everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. It has a crap ton of enemies, with very little health around. There's textures and walls you can just walk through. There's mazes, death traps, and 5+ button puzzles. It has areas and doors that might as well be a secret, but are actually required to find to keep progressing. Some enemies take forever to kill. The level design is fairly bland, too.

This episode was made by Gavin Harris. Despite all its flaws, I actually had fun playing it, and that extends to everything else I played this month as well. There's a certain joy to be had by showing the world relatively unknown Duke Nukem Content, good or bad!
