Fucking Hostile Psychoholic Slosh

It's (apparently) what people (probably) playing keyboard-only in 1995 considered hard, so not very

Still good for the period, even if you're stuck with the normal shotgun for most of it

Big ups Peter Schiecke for doxxing his address btw

As someone who has played about three 90s custom wads in their lifetime, I feel confident in calling this one my favorite so far. Cool, straightforward layouts with a lot of verticality, lots of hitscanners to shoot and decent, Doom 2-esque visuals. Maps are generally of small size, which makes for a fun and tense playthrough in combination with the tight health / ammo-balance, making individual maps feel like little puzzles where death isn't a huge punishment.
Mid and high-tier demons are used pretty terribly a lot of the time since you're stuck with the shotgun and chaingun for the first couple of maps, though I liked the two hellknights that you had to squeeze past at the end of map02 (kinda wish there was a RL behind them to reward the player). Overall, a good set that feels ahead of it's time.

Fun, challenging set of maps that looks much better than you might expect for the time it was made. These maps will still slap you around a bit on HMP if you're not staying sharp. The author is fond of Chaingunner ambushes which keep you on your toes. I didn't find the SSG until around MAP05, which was cool, I like when its not given out too early. Pistol-starting the last two maps is pretty tough, but doable.

The map designs do a really good job of letting the player see crucial areas from different angles through progression and the layouts are really tidy overall, and feel a bit more modern than a lot of other 94/95 maps I've played. There are some really nice large-scale vistas (like the start of MAP06), nice uses of verticality and a good mixture of tight and more open combat.

Recommended!

Excellent design for 1995. A bit more generic than MM, the author loves metal textures and double chaingunner traps, but nevertheless, it was a blast

Pretty good fun mapset from July 13, 1995 with good architecture and surprising challenging gameplay using primarily Shotgun guys, Imps & Chaingunners. My only nickpicks about this is that the last 3 maps aren't pistol friendly and the amount of Chaingunner traps may put off some players but they are very predictable.

I would definitely recommend this especially for vanilla purists ;) 

Oh and the name title is great XD
