Suspended in Dusk

5/5 Very good work from Espi. Those layouts are damn great. RIP man ...

best vanilla wad ever. 5/5

It's been a while since I've had a WAD truly blow my mind. Chock-full of "How the hell did he...?" moments. Gameplay isn't quite my favorite, but I really don't care. So atmospheric and engine-stretching. RIP Espi. You were a great level designed. 5/5 -Snakes

Well, this guy certainly loved grey... the gameplay was nice and challenging, but oftentimes I was confused of where to go next and sometimes I didn't know if I have been in a place before or not because all corridors looked alike. 4/5

5/5 I love the mapping, I love the fights. The detail is gorgeous and Espi has constructed a narrative with the bodies of dead marines and his usage of ammo/items in a way that both echoes verisimilitude and doesn't detract from gameplay. There's quite a few standout moments for me visually, but the fight that stood out was the giant teleport wave in MAP03. - KMX E XII

This is an amazing wad that still stands today. Definitely one of the best vanilla wads released. 5/5 no doubt. -TRRobin.

The best vanilla wad. 5/5

Truly awesome. As said somewhere in the skulltag forums, Suspended in Dusk will be his heaven. May he rest in peace.

Oh yes; I played it with JDoom and it looked fab. The second level had a bit of to-ing and fro-ing - I dislike levels that make you go back to open up a locked door near the start - but apart from that no problems. I particularly liked the unambiguously hazardous glowing waste textures.

Fantastic detail, great architecture, fun gameplay.Awesome!ESP Icially i like slide-door on MAP02.

this rocks. end of story. -Bouncy

The best.

OMG, a real Espi hype... Espi (RIP) was a great artistic mapper in his own style, but about gameplay he was absolutely not one of the strongest. Not only in these maps, but also f.e. in ed4_rfo1.wad map27: superb ambiance, but overall just poor gameplay. If you like absolute topmost gameplay, try ED4-RfO maps 11-13 made by Chris Couleur, these are lightyears ahead. Not only for the gameplay, but his spectacular layout & detailing is fully functional. Which is very rare. Overall 4/5, solid but not legendary.

Mothafuckin kickass.

I've never seen such perfection in a Doom wad before... Words cannot express my love for this wad, a definite new favorite, and be aware that it takes ALOT for a wad to make it into my "favorites" collection. A hero you are, Espi. ***** -EarthQuake

Tremendous effort! Good detail & layout. A bit over done in some areas...repetitive details without functional purpose (over abundance of support structures--this place will never collapse!). Custom graphics were very cleverly designed. Gameplay is great in most areas...but lacks in others (repetitive/predicta ble style fights). Too much back tracking and getting lost...and sorry, but the new sounds are horrid. That aside, it's an amazing piece of work. Worth the download. Another one for my vault! 4/5

Those are exactly maps I love : big, non-linear, interconnected and complex with a lot of secrets ingeniously hidden. Not mentionning the huge work on the textures to complete and fit well with the standard Doom2 ones, and on the architecture of the base. An obligatory legend mapset (map03 being my favorite), 5/5. ~Naan
