Tiddles has created ALOT of
levels for Quake, to be exact - 40 q1dm maps
and 4 q1sp all of which are worth playing. But
his latest creation, Basex2, is excellent. He
uses his usual grimy metal and dirty textures
to create a unique base level (obviously) which
look good together throughout the entire experience.
Lighting was used well with them, making it
dark and damp, with the occasional spot of lava
or sky to brighten things up.
Gameplay was very well done, despite only getting
to meet Grunts, Enforcers and Ogres (this is
a base level, afterall), they are used very
well and surprise the player many times, or
by attacking in groups so that you need to be
quick. It wasn't the longest level I've played
though, despite being 75 monsters. And there
was no tricky final fight either, which always
scores a level higher. Nevertheless, on the
great dirty base style that Tiddles has created,
and the excellent and challenging gameplay,
this is another level that should remain in
your Quake/Maps folder!
