Quake: Altars of Storm
released on Jun 22, 2011
A mod for Quake
Altars of Storm is a large ancient temple ruin, hidden deep beneath a snowy mountain valley. The theme of the map is inspired by the Ayleid ruins from TES4: Oblivion. The map has all new textures, many modified or new monsters from Hexen 2 including a fearsome boss demon, and a custom quad-barrel shotgun.

This would be quite good if it wasn't so fussy and buggy. I had to reload the final encounter because the boss clipped into a slope and was unable to progress to the next phase.
Music only played in the overworld, while the dungeon was dead silent. I ended up playing some dark ambient recommended by a Quaddicted poster instead.
The visuals are great, and encounters are distinctive due to some tweaked and new enemies. However I feel that overall the combat encounters were slightly lackluster compared to some of the stellar levels I played earlier today.
