Review by Frode Waksvik on 20th December 2008
A city infested with those alien bastards is Dukes mission this time around. A pretty small map but challenging if you raise the difficulty settings. Some firefights are really cool. Texturing is for the most part ok. And the light / shadow work is quite good. It's a bit hard in the beginning before you achieve a bigger gun than the pistol. But after that the ammo / health ratio is well balanced.

Description : Alien scumbags has invaded yet another
(small) city and it's up to Duke to clear
it out and kill their Overlord.
A rather small singleplayer map with co-op
and dukematch support. Please remember though
that it's designed as a singleplayer map
and might not be the best for dukematching.
And as this is my first singleplayer map
there is bound to be some things that could
be better.

* Construction *
Base : Nothing, designed from scratch.
Level Editor(s) Used : Mapster32
Art Editor(s) Used : None
Construction Time : About 9 days.
Known Bugs/Problems : You can place invisible trip mines on the
walls in the dark sloped room just before
very last room with the nuke button.
=====================================================================
*Important Information*
Installation : Just put the .map file and the GAME.CON file
into your EDuke32 folder. You might need to
create a new Duke Nukem 3D folder with the .GRP
file considering that I'm using a edited
GAME.CON file.
Important Notes : You probably want to use EDuke32 to play this
map. To play just launch EDuke32 like normally,
then go into "New Game" and "Usermap". Finally
just find the map named "cityofdespair.map"
and then choose your difficulty level. Enjoy.
Please remember that I designed this AFTER the
classic 8-bit mode so it might not always look
like it should in OpenGL mode or using the
High Resolution Pack.
Contact me if you wish to use this as a base
for a map or just for editing upon.
DO NOT edit it WITHOUT contacting me first!
