Cyberdemon's
realm by Valentin Albillo is a work of art. Everything about this
level oozes perfection. The level design is remarkable with a non-linear
layout that is truly brilliant - so you don't have to explore the whole
level to finish it. This wad is for the original Doom, so it's limited
to the old (perhaps best)
monsters. Valentin has taken
a lot of care when making this wad, and you can really appreciate the time
that must have gone into building it. The architecture is faultless,
and the texture use is second to none. From the title you would expect
lots of cybers, and yes there are tonnes of them. Each cyber requires
a different strategy to be beaten i.e. telefrag, BFG, sniping etc.
I won't spoil the finale, but its a great end, to a great level.
Due to the HIGH difficulty in Cyber's Realm, I haven't awarded a 10, but
if we had an award for Excellent Wads - this would get it! |
