Château Inferno

It really hurts to play it on nightmare, a lot of pure bullshit, but i like it still. Maps have character in them, and art part is pretty well designed (except first map )

- Awe inspiring grand architecture
- Atmospheric and beautiful lighting
- Good slaughtery fun
- Congrats on the neat soundtrack!


Some critique:
- Slight overuse of "spawn behind" combat tactic
- The pent & lava secret to the secret area of Part Un could have been done better - the lava pit is awkward to navigate in addition to it being very hard to see anything at all, and you get only one attempt (the pent doesn't respawn)
- Navigation in Part Deux could be slightly better sign posted or standing out a bit more ("A door opened")
- LG in part Deux if you miss it at the beginning should be handed out mid-level, not at the very end, in order to cut down on shambler deletion tedium
- The vore room fight in Part trois is either insufferable or just a bit stressful depending on whether you find the quad

Great sense of scale and overwhelming evil ambience. Not a fan of hordes though. Many times I asked myself wtf that's not "easy" ? Enough ammo but most of the gameplay is running like an headless chicken to avoid attacks or trig them between monsters and I find it kinda tiresome... Only my 2c obviously.

Anyway. Thanks for a great visual work !

I generally don't enjoy slaughter maps but there is a lot to appreciate here. Had a Tronyn vibe to it, and some fights were actually quite clever and not just a 0-60 experience so to say. I think Part Un is my favourite, it starts out arguably the most cruel, but the progression is easily the most fleshed out with some genuinely fun secrets. Plenty of gem encounters in the rest of the episode. I also love the Serious Sam style "edge of map" bit lol. Part Deux and Trois have a great "evil" look.

Yeah, this is what dreams are made of. 5/5 Stars.
