Very cool concept and great map design, however I played using gzdoom and I find the weapons very sluggish to respond.

If you use single fire and don't hold down the fire button it's even worse. The weapon animation(s) remove the classic Doom responsiveness.

Managed to get some more time to play today, I'm kind getting used to the guns etc. and I'm really enjoying the map design in general. Bit like Blake Stone :-)

 

Spoiler

Found two possible soft locks.

 

map03: in the blue key area it seems you can get soft locked if you jump back down the lift after the fight instead of progressing forward. Same if you jump back down to that area from the main area. The switch for the lift just needs to be repeatable.

 

map04: towards the end of the map as you are about halfway through the second side train you can get stuck behind a barrier. If you rush through the train carriages you can get over the barriers as they shut, leaving the switch to lower them on the other side (where the switch is on the back of a crate).
