People said we get the 2nd of the Cleric late (4 or 5 maps) so the best could be to play with Fighter or Mage, could you add his 2nd weapon earlier maybe?
I will test it soon, with the Mage or Cleric.

Pretty nice wad, I'm currently going through this as a Mage. It didn't seem particularly interesting at first, but seems to be getting better and better, which is nice.

 

Let's play in spoiler if interested (Teitanblood song playing in the beginning).

whoa, those platforming sections in the copper + lava level look pretty rad, especially the part with the walls pushing you off platforms

It's good design if it made me salty :D .

Finished the last hub today.

 

So, I stand by what I said: It's a bit underwhelming at first glance in the first hub, but only gets better and better afterwards. Korax's second form was interesting, didn't see that coming.

 

Finale in spoiler.

WHOA! I absolutely love it!

The maps are so minimalistic and simple, but powerful in the same time. I love how short but "right to the point" they are. Also some puzzles has really authentic retro-feeling. For example "steamworks" map has that "ice-breaker" puzzle... for some reason it totally reminded me Quake II. It has the true Hexenish adventurous gameplay!

I also love how the environment is used. For example the third hub is oriented on factories, industrial zones and all these steampunk-like places.

 

Totally the best WAD I played this year and this year just started.
