Hell Keep Remake

About This File

Remake of Hell Keep which is a much more realistic design than the original map. I made this from scratch using complete memory and nothing is modified from the original. The map is designed to look more like a real keep than a rather stupid sand castle, etc. Gameplay is easy to medium in difficulty on UV.

An uninspired remake.

A "remake" in the loosest sense of the word. It's the same layout and bad guy placement as the original map, but with extra visual detail. Also a missing tag on the exit door means the map is only finish able in a ZDoom based port.

I'm not a big fan of remakes, but that was interesting. 3 stars.

I'll fix the tag and re-release the level. I thought the exit door tag had no problems, obviously its Doom Builder's problem deleting tags from sectors. Hmm, the same thing happened in Simply Phobos E1M2 too. -PC

Very nice looking remake. Recaptures the atmosphere of the original, but with a much cleaner and more sophisticated look. Not very hard gameplay-wise, but the author definately achieved his goal for this map.

A nice remake, hardly gets any better. As an interesting side note, it's partially compatible with vanilla, however versions

It looks a bit cube-ish at someplaces. I also dislike the techbase textures found at places, (LITE3, DOOR1 and FLOOR0_5 comes to mind) but it does really look like a keep now, and you didn't mess up the gameplay in the process. Quite good for a remake. :] 4/5 - Da Spadger

I really like it, myself (4/5), and I hope you're gonna redo the other E3 levels as well and eventually bundle them all into an entire episode WAD. ;)

Pretty cool map I liked this one better than my version, I first thought that shotgunners don't really belong in this map but since its not an exact remake of the original I think its okay for them to be there its an pretty cool map 4/5 -DD

I downloaded this from the Greek mirror, because I am fascinated with moussaka. The level looks nicer than the original, and there's now a small moat outside the entrance and some more castle-like features. It's not quite identical to the original - there are more monsters, the demon pathway is more complicated, and the archway after the collapsing bridge is now see-through. Unlike the original, it now seems to be pacifist-finishable, although tricky.

I really like this. The novelty wears a bit thin, as there already were 2 remakes of E3M1 recently, but it still is worth a play through. The only thing i don't like is the fact that the secret Rocketlauncher at the end is pretty useless, as the level ends after this and all enemys are propably already dead... there was a RL in the original map afterall though, so it's understandable that it's still there. **** -Vader

The map looks great but it's a shame the author didn't try to differ the monster placement or even the level design from the original.

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
