The Scorched City

Reviews 4.50 star(s) 7 reviews

Outstanding map. Highly enjoyable combat, albeit very challenging, even on Normal skill. Very little room to breathe, which could be a positive or a negative based on player preference. Personally I like maps with more exploration and more breathing room, but the flow in the second half of the map was very tight and concise. Full marks for map layout and aesthetic, but the constant bombardment and lack of exploration makes it just barely miss full score for me. VERY excited to see what this author has in store next!

Very neat medieval-ish map!
Competent brushwork and lighting, good architecture, reasonable monster placement... my only chip with this map is the 'Rush-hour' room right before the ending. But i guess there is people that like that.
Very nice; i look forward to see the next map?
Thanks for Your work, and thanks for sharing!
Nice castle map I enjoyed to play.
No too difficult on skill 0, well balanced between fighting and thinking.
Secrets 2/5 on first attempt, and this is not bad for me.
You just made my sunday

Nice, medium-sized level. I had to play it on normal difficulty because, on hard, it was too much for my aging reflexes. I got a little disoriented since it's not a linear level, but that makes it more interesting. The jumps and flips needed to progress are perfectly accessible for the average player, and as usual, only the final fight is a bit difficult to win. My only criticism of this level is that, given how large and complex the environment is, perhaps they could have added more fights in some corners and a few more alternative passages or secret rooms.The author says it takes 10 or 15 minutes to complete, but I promise you it took me more than twice as long (yes, I'm quite slow).

Good level and very impressive for a first map. My congratulations.
Wonderful map, my friend. I guess my critique would be that I wish you had opened up a shortcut to the door at the beginning ( the one with the lava pit in front of it ) instead of having to backtrack. Would have been a nice little loop there. Other than that, great first Quake map! Hope to see another from you.
Is this the first map? I have to say A Star is born!

Thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's my first Quake map, but I have mapped for Doom and Heretic before.
