Reds Over World | Vila Chaves | No Failure Run
12I want to say that it's difficult to describe how I feel about ROW, but if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have made a whole 70-something megabyte addon to mend some of the aspects that I wasn't a particularly big fan of. Today's run is brought to you by me still feeling like extending the playtime a notch by way of having ROW's actors occasionally drop in on Doom's. Surprisingly adaptable, somewhat.
Wasn't sure what kind of map to run it with up until Vila Chaves shows up. I could say why, but I feel like that'd be mean 'cause it exemplifies a lot of what ROW itself also does, for both better and worse. It does have a nice guidance system by way of map markers, atleast. It doesn't lead you to the good ending of this map at first pass, but it sure is decent for figuring out immediately where to go next.
I do try to somewhat fit a theme with the wirejammers this time around, so for today it'll be the Soviets' turn to pop on stage. Not a lot of differences to the factions aside from HUD, starting weapons, and enemy fought. The US and NATO faction'll have their own runs later the days after tomorrow. They're similar, but they have little differences in the specific enemy factions fought.
