Sorry, we couldn't find any images attached to this page.

What can I say about this map?

It's good. It's great for playing solo or with friends. I really like the randomness of this map, because every time you start it you get a new expierence. Really like the emphasis of the stylistics on LD.

Reminiscent of Deus Ex (inventory, PCs with cams and settings, etc) in some places.

And plus, this is the second map of this mapper for sven, and it is a masterpiece.

Would I recommend the map to players? Yes. But for beginners or casual players, I'd rather recommend playing Storymode. If you want to tickle your nerves or you are a more regular player - Relaxed to Medium. If you're a masochist or a hardcore player - Punished. And if you are a fucking psycho or just hate yourself - Tortured. As RaptorSKA himself said - Good fucking luck.

Pros:

  • Randomness of almost everything - monsters, weapons, items.
  • Advanced inventory system, new weapons.
  • Design just like Blue Shift and Decay.
  • Difficulty selection. But still even on the easiest will not let you relax, constantly appear at random time bastards.
  • Choice of class. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages over the others.
  • Map by good mapper

Cons:

  • Laggy cuz size of map
  • Easy to get lost
  • Sometimes can be too hardcore - the first time in Medium due to random enemies I got overtaken by gonomes when I only had one flashlight
  • where are fuckin robohwgrunts? I thought they'll be here :(
  • abbreviation BTS - not exactly a good association
  • can't flip the tables :(
Score: 9.8 / 10
