i remember when i got to MAP 20, i honestly couldn't stop smiling at how two of the first enemies were two of the toughest enemies from DOOM 1, thrown at you at the same time, with this being their first appearance in this game. it was so fun, it felt like a cool prank the devs were pulling on the player, but the kind where since you know the devs, it's funny. like "oh, you guys!"

and then they kept pulling that prank over and over until the end of the game and it honestly stopped being funny before the end of the map it first showed up in and just got actively annoying and made the game way worse by the final five maps.

still, tho, this game's a classic. not as solid and consistent as DOOM 1 but the highs are way higher for more than half of the game, and ill admit that i still had a good amount of fun in map 28.

the final stretch of this game honestly feels way more like what ppl accuse episode 4 of being than what episode 4 actually is.

THIS IS FOR THE DEMO SINCE IT DOESNT HAVE ITS OWN PAGE

i think it's okay! i think what i like most about boomer shooters is the level design, so having a roguelike boomer shooter where you constantly need to be moving forward through simplistic, samey corridors without much opportunity to really appreciate or understand the different layouts is kind of frustrating. i get that there's a no time limit mode but i wanted to meet the game on its level and play it as the developers intended. from the steam trailer it looks like there's a lot more variety beyond where the demo stops, and that's good. i wish i got to experience a bit of that but i understand. not sure ill be checking this one out soon even tho i rly like the aesthetic and character designs.
