| Bruised is
one big, tough level. As the name suggests, after finishing this level
(if you manage to finish it) your poor little marine will indeed be very
sore and sorry for himself. In the author's own words "only the most skilled
and determined players will finish it without cheats". Despite being rather
difficult, at times Bruised is also rather confusing. Before you even manage
to get one of the keys, you have to go through a rather long and winding
maze, with countless tricks and traps. Besically, you can't go more than
about 10 doom paces before some monster pops out of hidden wall beihnd
you, and sets about pummelling you into the ground. Bruised seems
to have a rather non-linear structure. There are numerous parts that you
don't have to go through in order to finish the level. However, many of
these optional parts
contain weapons that will make finishing the level a hell of a lot easier. The texture use in Bruised is also sometimes confusing. There are numerous doors that don't look like they should be doors, ie - general wall texture use instead of a normal door texture. Overall, though, the stand out factor in Bruised is its unrelenting action and plentiful monster fights, although they will be too difficult and too numerous for most. However, if you do decide to give this wad a go, be prepared to save at every opportunity, because there are monsters lurking around every corner just waiting to mow you down. Oh, and if you are a beginner, then I wouldn't bother... |
