Title: Favourite special level
Post by: Kantarza on April 23, 2025, 07:37
I'm in the process of building some new levels and whilst I have some ideas, I'd love to give the community something enjoyable. So I'm reaching out to the group to ask you "What is your favorite one or two levels? (and if you have time, a simple comment on why)" I can't promise the standard we're all used to but hopefully it's on the right track.
Of course for those who want to write a bit more, you're welcome! And thank you everyone who chooses to take part.

Phobos Lab is my favorite Ultimate Doom map, and the DRL version is such a well done creation. Also the UV and N! version with Nightmare Demons can make for some of the most heart pounding experiences in DRL but without getting exceedingly unfair.

Second is Mortuary for its theming, iconicness, its music, and of course its challenge, while having plenty of tricks available to mitigate its challenge. Limbo in comparison is a let down, but the greatly improved 0.9.9.9 version will make it a worthy counterpart to Mortuary.

Hard to decide since I like a lot of them, but overall chose Hell's Armory and The Wall.
The former represents a concept I really like in games in general (raiding stuff your foes have and/or blowing it up to deny it to them), and I like the enemies, gameplay and layout.

The Wall I chose for its simplicity and its iconic feel. Truth be told the gameplay of the Containment Area is probably better, but The Wall does something for me that's hard to describe.
