GIBTROPOLIS!

A relatively complex, somewhat non-linear city map.

Be sure to check out the 'level Primer' (Tutorial)

I think the Map is pretty Hard- I'd recommend Normal to start with...

A really cool level for AD. I liked the idea of the mini-metroidvania, where you explore a large area, collecting various keys and power-ups that let you access new locations.

The only issue I encountered was with the lighting, some parts of the level were too dark, and I had to feel my way through them.

This map is absolutely amazing! I've said it before in regards to Red Ranger but this map absolutely enbodies the city aesthetics than quake can provide.

My only problem with this map is how big it is and how long it usually takes me to complete it. Absolutely incredible effort

In the time since I did my review, I've played the entire map 2 more times (yes, I'm a little hooked on this level) and have discovered a ton of new strategies/alternative paths/tricks. It is a very re-playable and frankly adrenaline level, but in a pleasant way (not like those maps that now seem to be so popular, where you have 600 enemies all attacking you at the same time and not a damn corner to protect you). It is really a map designed to continuously and cyclically alternate moments of action followed by moments of calm very much in the classic vein of Duke Nukem or Hal-Life and I already have put it permanently on my personal list of "my 20 best maps for Quake 1 of all time". I would love to be able to play more maps of this style, but given the immense work required to make it, I doubt that its author, gw_x9, or other mappers, will be very willing to do something similar soon. So, God willing, I think I will replay this map on more than one occasion in the future.

This map was a pleasant surprise. Had a lot of fun playing this map even though I don't normally like city/duke style levels in Quake.
This is one of the very few exceptions. Great gameplay and combat encounters,

Yyyesss, that's it.

In the beginning I thought this would be too hard for me, the unexperienced player, even on skill 0.
But it's one of these maps which work better if the right way is known.
The second attempt was much better.

Thanx that this isn't linear. It's so interesting, the first time it was difficult to find the points for the runes.
It seems to be so real, the bar, the restroom, the streets and grids and elevators ... it's so much fun to jump around the roofs, to explore.

And, an extra point:
this soundtrack is metal as f..k, it drives me forward, on and on, and it fits so good with this small city of horror.

A matter of taste:
not the first map which makes me wonder whether it's logical that all these zombies mess around in this highly technical environment.
But, fighting on and on, there's no time for silly questions :-)

Secrets 5/8, that's good with me.

It's a gas, this map.
I miss nothing with it.

Fun from start to finish. I almost wanted more when the final fight was finished!

Probably the path to the "bar key" should be more obvious ;)

After your release of awesome Duke Nukem Quake map I was afraid you won't release anything more. And here it is! (Btw. Muty made a nice speedrun of DNQ map.)

Awesome! Enjoy the map! (Muty = DNQ. 16 seconds! Crazy!)

I feel bad not liking this map, because the aesthetic and setup are great and I hope you do more. I would however highly encourage you to release a variation of this map that just deletes all the zombies (or like half of them and the sword nerds). I'd replay that in a heartbeat.

I spent 10-20 minutes just not finding an explosive weapon, ran into the big bar fight on the roof, and just ran out of patience for constantly getting hit by zombie gibs and hearing zombie moans.

The idea of zombies being an actual threat is unique, but I ultimately did not find it fun to play. And it pains me because the rest that I've seen so far is great.

Hey! Thanks for Playing! Yeh, bit of a gable re the zombies. (There’s actually a few ways to deal with them. Including a secret)
