My Review:
A few fundamental issues with this mod. First off, I know Wolf3D is generally aimed at high-damage, high-reflex gameplay, and this mod reflects this. You have to be fast and precise to succeed, you can't circle-strafe around any of the hit-scanner enemies. That being said, this is what I didn't enjoy and feel could be improved:
There is too much ammo.
Ammo management is a huge gameplay mechanic in FPS games. Here, however, you can pretty much play with whatever weapon you can, since most of the enemies drop large bundles off ammo, and clips are easy to find everywhere, ammo management is not important. The MP40 smg and STG44 rifle is almost always full and available early on, so you don't have to worry about ammo for your best weapons. If enemies dropped very little ammo, or no ammo at all, this would at least force the player to use other weapons other than the mp40 and stg44.
Fast enemy reflexes, not enough health.
Enemies have very fast reflexes and take a lot of your health on the third and especially the fourth difficulty. It's fine, I guess, I could get through most of the levels on the 3rd difficulty. But not always. Just played the secret level for episode 1 and it was impossible... practically zero health pickups until the soulsphere at the end.
Boss fights are not fun.
The first boss fight is ok. The 2nd and 3rd are TOO DARK, you can't see anything, and they are not fun at all because of this. The fourth episode boss fight is better, but it doesn't give you any health from the start so if you start with low health = you ded.
