Review by Fernando Márquez on 7th July 2008
Surely space stations are, in my humble opinion, always attractive in some way or another. Either it's for its texture choices, great design, cramped space architecture or for the plain (but nice) feeling of being in space. And Shock Mortal is no exception at all.
Despite being originally released exclusively for the "Duke España" contest held during the map's timeline, it now finally gets a standalone release. Surely to expect from this release is fast-pump action filled with stamina for most of the level. Only at the beginning it starts dim, with little to no wimp popping heads around corners, but after leaving the starting point, things surely gets frantic.
Many highlights galore, such as non-lineality and little but enough sprite work. Clever arangements for monsters and weapons without lack of both departments. While bugs make sometime impossible to even be able to get through (such as the mirror in the bathroom) it's quite minor since it happens at a certain point.
In the end, Shock Mortal is a fun space map which cannot go missed. Take a gander!

-- Para el concurso de mapas de Duke España -- *** TEXT IN ENGLISH AT THE END OF FILE *** ================================================================ Título: : Shock Mortal Nombre archivo : shock.map Autor : Eye del Cul Emilio : eyedecul[at]ono.com Página Güeb : http://www.geocities.com/eyedecul http://www.arcades3d.com Descripción : En la estación espacial Tiberius las cosas se han puesto realmente feas. Los alienígenas dominan las instalaciones, tras exterminar a la tripulación, y no parece haber modo de escapar... ¿Conse- guirá Duke salir con vida, o perecerá como los demás? El mapa tiene ciertos guiños a System Shock II, juego que me inspiró bastante. Algunos más obvios que otros..., y con una recreación del puente del Von Braun incluida. Créditos Adicionales a : Papamonos y Anarko por pruebas de juego. ================================================================ * Informacion del Nivel* Juego : Duke Nukem 3d (Atomic) Un jugador : Sí Cooperativo : Sí (aunque no lo he probado seriamente) Deathmatch : Sí (pero no es el propósito del mapa) Niveles dificultad : Sí Sonidos nuevos : No Graficos nuevos : No Música nueva : Sí (midi de Rastan II) Demos sustituidas : No Plutonium Pack Requerido: Sí * Construccion * Base : Mapa construido desde cero. Tiempo Construcción : Unos tres meses, a ratos sueltos. Terminado el : 16 de diciembre de 2005. Editores usados : JFBUILD y HACKMAP. Fallos conocidos : Uno de los espejos falla al observarlo desde cierto ángulo cerrado, aunque se trata de un error muy discreto, que pasará desapercibido para la mayoría de gente. Los espejos aparecen opacos si usamos el "Poly- most engine" de JFDuke3d; el modo "classic" da el resultado apropiado. ====================================================================== * Copyright / Permissions * Distribuye este mapa libremente, ya sea en CDs, páginas web, etc. Pero si lo haces incluye este archivo TXT. ====================================================================== *** *** *** IN ENGLISH *** *** (Sorry for the bad traslation *** *** *** ======================================================================= Title : Mortal Shock Filename(s) : shock.map Authors : Eye del Cul Email Address : eyedecul[at]ono.com Web page : http://www.geocities.com/eyedecul http://www.arcades3d.com Description : The aliens attacked the space station Tiberius, and now they control the ins- talations. The crew were exterminated, and seems that there isn't any way to escape. Will Duke can exit alive, or he go to die as his comrades? The map is loosely inspirated in Sys- tem Shock II, the classic FPS/RPG from Looking Glass... And, among other de- tails, include a recreation of the Von Braun command bridge. Additional Credits to : Papamonos and Anarko for playtesting. ======================================================================= * Playing Information * Game : Duke Nukem 3D (Atomic) Single Player : Yes! Cooperative : Yes, but no seriously tested DukeMatch : Yes, but the map was designed for singleplayer Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : Yes (a midi of the old game Rastan II) Demos replaced : None Plutonium Pack required : Yes * Construction * Base : New level from scratch. Build time : About three months. Editor (s) used : JFBuild, HackMap. Completed on : 16th december 2005. Known Bugs : One of the mirrors shows a HOM when Duke looks in it from a closed angle; but is a discrete error that most players don't notice it. The mirrors appear opaque and solid if we use the "Polymost Engine" in JFDuke3d. In the "clas- sic" mode they work perfectly, so I recommend to play the map with this graphic setting. ======================================================================= * Copyright / Permissions * Authors MAY use this level as a base to build additional levels, concatenations, or otherwise.
