May 95 Review No.: 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Monster Fest Game: Heretic Filename: MINURAMO.ZIP Size: 47k Author: Mike Kibler e-mail: 76016.1422@compuserve.com Maps: E1M1 Type: normal level Sounds: No Graphics: No Music: No [ Level construction ] ---------------------------------------------- Good construction, different floor levels and water of course. You can see & kill some monsters in rooms you will reach later, this is a good way to keep the level in mind. But some rooms have a very, let's say, 'strange' design... [ Texture design ] -------------------------------------------------- Most of the textures are misaligned. Since this is a level for Heretic, this isn't that bad like it would be with Doom. Sometimes there are textures totally misplaced, they don't fit to the others in the room. Doors are moving into heaven, old mistake - still in many, many levels... I think the author did not take a look at ANY texture... [ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------ No Tutti-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effect. [ Enemies ] --------------------------------------------------------- A lot! Yeah, keep an eye on your ammo! Sometimes monsters are attacking from behind etc. I was always thinking: 'where the hell they are coming from?'... anyway, this makes it very hard. (only tested the 4th skill level) [ Things ] ---------------------------------------------------------- There are some... not enough ammo, could be some more 'unusable' things... if you like it... [ Scoring ] --------------------------------------------------------- 51% Worth downloading, if you like hard levels with only a few ammo things. This is my first new Heretic level I played... so I only know how to do Doom (2) levels. But I think this could be done much better. To the author: please take a look at the textures! ---------------------------------------------------------------------
