Void

Neat little tech demo of every ZDoom feature under the sun, absolutely terrible gameplay. There are too many issues to list, but the oddest is that teleporters pretty much always face you the exact opposite of the way you're intended to go. Literally why? Who would ever think of doing things like that?

And extremely grating music as well.

Void is certainly one of the most avant-garde maps ever made. the jumping is actually not bad for once and the fist was upgraded. I liked literally everything in this map, perhaps the biggest change was the fists, which while functional to Hexen's gauntlets, allow for more range, and it's perfect for conserving ammo. punching imps is pretty easy to do. the Hexen enemies are actually pretty easy to tangle in Void with the Doom arsenal, the new Unmaker actually functions like a Phoenix Rod from Heretic. I guess the weapon progression is good enough, the plasma gun is a better choice against the cyber than the other guns at the time.

overall though, Void's combat is a bit lackluster, as it makes way for puzzle stuff that involves ZDoom's jumping abilities plus having to go back and forth. Hexen-like, naturally. remember to place those skull keys on that altar each time, but also look out for all sorts of nasty traps. the corridor to the cyberdemon battle is probably the worst kind, while others like the shrinking puzzle and fighting the spiders is unique (remember to get the gear and put it in the switch box, and then use the switch even though your guy says "guess I'm too small to use this switch"). the endgame is basically watching your step as you head all the way down, make sure to do so, and the Heresiarch battle is somewhat of a hit, the stupid troll floors are dumb, and there's likely bouts of waiting because he loves throwing up the invincibility cubes, this battle is somewhat rough around the edges but it isn't too terrible. all of this in one large, pretty map too. great work.
