Review by Kim Robinson on 31st July 2007
A high quality map with your basic, half-baked storyline and butt-kicking action - true Duke3D. Plenty of action, a couple of confusing puzzles and original level layout make this level both a little irritating and fun to play. Ammo is given as you need it, so don't waste too much - you'll need it later on. Gameplay is less than solid but it looks good and plays reasonably well as well - take a gander with it.

DRKFRNT1.MAP (DF-PART I) IMF Base Vengeance
Description : A facility out in the middle of no man's land
with a shipment of weaponry critical to the war
effort against the alien invaders...
But is the shipment still there?
Additional Credits to : Alejandro, Kuffi, and Dad for Beta testing
Story : Walking down from the hangar facility in the
top of the cliffside (the plane up there wasn't
fueled up) Duke is mightily pissed off and isn't
in the best mood. After a couple hours of
walking Duke comes across a dead squad of EDF
soldiers and suddenly knows that he didn't
get all of those alien bastards... not even by a
long shot. Duke finds his way to the parking
garage of this facility through the employee's
only entrance and nearly gets caught in a sealed
room with a squad of pigs. Diving through the
closing security door Duke loses the pistol when
it falls out of its holster. "Damn it! I'm going
to need to get another piece before those alien
bastards get around to hitting the alarm... Only
thing going for me is that it takes them a while
to get around to anything..."

* Spoilers *
Pipebombs 1, 2, &3 have their specific purposes.
#1 Clear out those cactuses in front of that vent you see up high.
#2 (or 3 if 2 goes to far) Blow out the door.
#1A An alternate method of getting rid of the cactuses in the way is
to go up there and have the aliens shoot at you.
Nothing else is important enough to warrant a hint.
