Mini-level megawad

A set of maps, carefully tuned for pistol starts, pretty hard/challenging. The maps are rather small and have exactly one secret. There is no stylistic consistency; there are a few bases and castles, caves, hellish maps and so on, everything totally mixed up. I can assume the earlier maps have their slots because they are easier and the later maps - harder. MAP26 is probably the most difficult one. mlm12 reminds me a bit of Going Down, as the levels are small, packed with enemies, and one different from the other. But mind, they are less polished than GD. Some maps have a pretty high 2000's level of detail (the ending corridor from MAP09), some others are much more basic looking (MAP02). IMO they are rather good looking (above average).

 

Bugs/problems: The mapper leaves all the doortracks without "lower unpegged" flag, so they move with the door, I'm sure he knew how to prevent it but he preferred the doors to behave this way. What is more problematic for me: unreliable W1 monster teleports, places where you can get stuck and decorations impeding player's movement, no Boom actions but some maps require -complevel 9 due to traps not working with limit-removing compatibility.

 

Favourite maps: 03,08,17,24,25,26. I would definitely recommend giving it a try: the maps are so different everyone will surely find something that appeal to them.

Overall is nice, but I'm not much into small maps crowded with monsters, other than that, looks like a decent megawad

While the author has managed to include some decent maps, this mapset overall gives me the impression that little thought was put into the design and thing placements. Some maps even make heavy use of cut+paste. Certainly not deserving of the praise I'm seeing here.

Played up to dead simple. Which was impossible without cheating so gave up. (Played with Brutal Doom Sperglord Edition) The Big Robb

4/5 Pretty darn good. Just got through a whole playtest of this in coop mode online. Seems all the levels are coop compatible. Pretty fun and the challenge only gets more and more crazy as the maps progress.

Preety good 4/5

Great work! It was fun to play through it. The only bad thing left to say is that the author forgot to "Lower Unpegged" the doortracks, and some textures are misaligned. That violates the good atmossphere a bit. Otherwise I can recommend this .wad to every DooMer who enjoys fast and action-packed levels 4/5!

lvl 19 is hardcore.

nice mapset, reminds me to HR 5/5

very nice HR-style megawad with nice short levels. some are insane in combat. my only complaint would be damaging floors especially on MAP26.

At first its easy going and fun and doesent keep you running around looking for switches or keys with normal amount monsters then near the end much too many monsters The maps are not too bad looking.

alright, but chock full of monsters on some levels.

Love it! Only at map08, but I've enjoyed every one so far. 4.5/5

awesom wad, nice reminder of doom and doom2, one problem I have is some odd clipping problems (mirror) effect and not enough dark rooms, seems too bright but I think the effort and awesome levels designs defo desserve a 4!

As the author says himself, qualify varies a lot during the megawad. The first few maps are easy and cramped, but it gets better, some of the later maps being rather challenging despite a low monster count. Some maps pull off their theme surprinsingly well with low detail (especially map17). As for bugs, there's some minor HoMs here and there, and none of the doortraks seems to be unpegged. Definitely worth a play. 4/5

The later levels are extremely furious in terms of fights, and therefore only appear to an audience interested in super-hard fights. The earlier maps or solid, small levels, with a fair challenge, worth a play for just about anyone I think.

game play just to difficult. either take days to complete a level or cheat.

Muy bien al principio, pero en los niveles finales abusa de los monstruos. Me canse de jugar.

Short, fun levels! 5/5

MAP24 and later levels are too hard to beat, I cheated/skiped them, sorry. :p But most levels are good I think, fun to play. 4/5 -playerlin

Its pretty darn good. 4 stars

Every map in here is extremely small and action packed. The quality varies, and so does the gameplay. The latter maps do provide huge fights (lol map22), but I do like this! Worth a play. 5/5 - Moti

I have played it with a friend in co-op ... one word: awesome! it deserves a five, however I'm giving it a four and a half because there are some details left, like you mentioned in the description, that need to be taken care of ...

not pretty,but fun.[at least until I got to map 22]After that[on HMP]I was done for. Still,4.5[5]/5-d.d.k oop

Really fun... Very much like an old school megawad -lack of detail (yet, usually good looking levels) and plenty of action. Definitely worth your time.
