Mr Elek has released an outstanding
addon for Nehahra, four maps full of Nehahra
goodness that continues that theme well.
The first map is base, a mix of Ikbase and IDbase/Rogue.
Good design and architecture, but it's not very
unique. Unfortunately I blindly marched forward,
missing the SSG hidden in the shadows right
at the start, and then choosing the wrong path
just after and missing the GL. This basically
made the first map the hardest of the pack,
with limited ammo. However with the GL in your
arsenal you should have no trouble.
Map two was something a little
different, based on top of cliffs you make your
way between each through teleports. On top is
often a little a nicely looking hut, which creates
a great atmosphere. Gameplay wasn't as strong
however, due to the limited space. Also the
lighting was rather weak as some areas were
completely black.
The third level was definitely
the best looking, and much more Nehahra themed
with mainly the more solid metals and bricks
from Hexen2. There were some really nice designs
in the level. Gameplay was also spot on, with
more of the tougher enemies being used.
The last map was the final
battle, with just one large cavern and a building
sitting in the middle. And quite an end battle
it was with many monsters being used in large
packs. There was really no boss like Nehahra
had though.
Overall four great levels with
some interesting and unique design. Only the
base level didn't really fit in with the rest
of it, but by itself is still a great map. Gameplay
was excellent, just as Nehahra was, but probably
a little bit easier which will be good for those
that found the original game to be too hard.
Unfortunately No Tsemoch!
(Warning, to play you need
to have Nehahra installed, and need to run with
-heapsize xx000 (replacing xx with a number
high enough until it doesn't crash)
