And they're placed absolutely EVERYWHERE, and in the most obsessive-compulsive ways possible. Even the most basic footsoldier takes too god damn many hits to kill (3-5 'shotgun' blasts). There's still too much blando wolf3d corridor architecture, but he shows a lot more creativity and establishes a sense of place more often.Ģ) Poor handling of enemies in general. Arctic Wolf and Rheingold are the closest he came to taking the wolf3d setting and characters and really adapting them to the doom engine. Makes you wonder why he didn't just use the wolf3d engine for most of them.

He rarely if ever took advantage of the doom engine, as most of the mods are just endless networks of bland, repetitive corridors with the occasional non-wolf3d architecture. But this is a great start and I'm anxious to check it out.Īny chance of getting some gameplay videos as a showcase?ġ) Tried to force wolf3d onto doom instead of adapting wolf3d FOR doom. If someone remade it a la Blade of Agony, man, that would really be something. Arctic Wolf is without a doubt the best of the Las Rojas mods, but it still suffers from most of the same problems as the others. I was always hoping someone would remake the mods, though, rather than just enhance them: better weapons and enemy variety is definitely needed, but so is better map design where the maps don't revolve around 'go to the far end of this mile-and-a-half long base, get the key, then go allllll the way back to unlock the door, then go alllllll the way back to reach the exit' with anal-retentive enemy placement in every single nook and cranny. I tweaked a couple maps here and there and replaced all the enemies with randomized PE bad guys, plus a few new bosses.

Not quite as extensive as this, though: I'm not good enough with decorate. I did something like a zdoom version with Project Einherjar, if that's the sorta thing you're looking for. Arctic Wolf deserved a serious gameplay reworkage. I wanted to do something similar, except for ZDoom.
