I’ve chosen to make this more
like a preview than an actual review, since this is just a demo and not the
finished product.
You know from the first glance at
the one level this demo consists of, that DooM Arena is going to be
something special, but also, that it is only made by one guy. The style of
the level is a mixed pleasure with some very good things, but also some
rather questionable. Nice pseudo 3D bridges, which you can walk over but not
exactly under, gives a good 3D feeling, but not more.
Architecture looks promising with
lots of nice details and new textures. The players are thrown into nicely
designed rooms consisting of all of the known elements. Textures that differ
from that of the surroundings are nicely integrated. All of this builds up a
nice atmosphere and possibilities for some entertaining dm are definitely
present.
No new tricks and features, despite
some water effects, although its made for zDooM.
I look forward to the finished
product.
No score because preview
