I wasn't planning on reviewing
or even playing this level in any hurry, as
I had not really enjoyed Dav's previous levels
(Q2 Caves probably the best) and they weren't
really worth a review. But a mapper has to start
to improve sometime, and this level is the case
with Dav. It is much better than his previous
releases in all aspects.
Gameplay was the main strength here, over 130
enemies nicely placed. A good technique was
spawning enemies in front of you as your unexpectedly
running along whistling to yourself and your
head in the stars. Pun not intended, but you
almost do have your head in the sky! Eventually
you'll find yourself at the very top of four
huge buildings with small platforms joining
the each of them. This is another strength of
the map, and was quite a pleasure running on
these tiny platforms blasting Gunners off the
side.
If your looking for a fun level
with good atmosphere and average design, then
Strogg Towers is for you!
