After reading a very interesting
story (I usually don't read the stories, but
I'm glad I made an exception this time), I was
greeted with a dark outdoor area with an old
building in my view. This level is best described
as being what it's called - an estate! Included
throughout are sewers, medieval type buildings,
outdoor areas and base styles. Of course, with
these styles the level doesn't feel like it
has a distinctive style.
Nevertheless, that doesn't stop it from being
a blast! It gets tough real quick as you fight
Shamblers and Vores with your shotgun. There
are nearly 100 enemies to get through, but as
you progress you happily acquire a few more
weapons. The level seemed to go for quite a
long time, which is always a good thing.
The layout was rather impressive,
as you return to previous sections through different
routes and access new areas. You eventually
end up back where you start, in the outdoors
area.
Overall Scragbait's Estate had decent level
design, although almost too dark and a bit plain
in some areas. While the gameplay was good fun,
providing quite a challenge. Unfortunately this
release is not complete - expect another part
to it in June (which explains the rather weak
end-battle).
