This is Sven's first proper
single player attempt. You have to fight through
four levels - metal, water, wood and lava, before
taking on Makron. The first, metal, was probably
the best. It wasn't very unique, but had a solid
layout and structure, with good gameplay. The
water level had pipes of water which defied
gravity and rose into the air. The wood level
looked quite good, although a bit messy, with
trees making up most of the level. The lava
level was probably the weakest of them all with
long large corridors without many enemies.
Overall the design was average, but the maps
had some good unique parts to them. They were
all quite small with about 20-40 monsters.
Gameplay was good most of the time, with plenty
of ammunition, while it was also quite tricky
too. I think the one thing that let The Movement
of Heaven down was some very frustrating sections.
For example the wood level where soldiers hide
behind every tree and as soon as you step into
view you get blasted. Or unexpected earthquakes
and explosions which can hurt or kill you, but
you have no way of knowing where they are.
Otherwise a decent offering
from Sven, and it is good to see another Q2SP
release after such a long time.
