The Awakening Q2 is a deathmatch
mod with all new weapons and powerups (with
a bunch of maps thrown in), and has been quite
popular. The four deathmatch maps included in
The Awakening, dressed in all custom textures,
looked brilliant. So it is good to see that
Eric Rothkirch (redchurch) decided to add some
single player levels to his resume that looks
just as good!
There are two of them, both rather small. You
start in The Ruins, a level which feels alot
like a castle. Using brick textures with great
stone spiked pillars hitting the sky, the level
looks superb with a great atmosphere. The second
level, The Mines, is more like the inside of
a ruined castle. It doesn't look quite as great
with many corridors, and it isn't as long, but
was still a very unique looking level.
Gameplay was good. There weren't
an abundance of enemies, but it was still great
fun and a good challenge. But not to be forgotten
are the new weapons! Three of them from the
Awakening mod, which unfortunetely means you
need to have the 8mb deathmatch mod installed
too. Not only that but there are also new sounds
and music to add to the atmosphere.
Overall these two levels are
a great addition to your collection, but because
they were so simple and short I'm left wanting
more!
