About Kaoz Final  (by author)


 specifically designed for jHeretic with the HiResTex Pack by AnthraxScare. It will run with the orignal Heretic and zDoom but it is a little dark since it was designed with Doomsdays Area lighting.


My Review:

    

    I had never been much of a Heretic or Hexen fan because of the lengthy intervals in-between skirmishes where I have to find switches (tons of 'em) and walk back and forth through acres and acres of pixillated nothingness bored out of my skull.  

    Still, with that being said, this 9 level wad is no different, yet there are more bad guys to fight, which keeps you on your toes.  The Minotaurs were are REAL pain and you don't just face a couple of those either.  There was a few spots where there were missing lower textures and pegged sectors that looked funky when they moved, but overall this is a pretty nice wad.  There are tons of crushers, as one would expect in Heretic and lots of space and spread out keys and switches making each level at least an hour's work (GAWD!!!!).  But one or two can be curtailed by jumping and by not going for all the keys.  
    I did have a favorite level, I ain't saying which so that I'd spoil it--- but it's a part in this particular map where there's a maze full of Centaurs, then the maze walls become lifts while wooden crusher poles come dowm from above, and you'll have to fight those snake things (forgot what they were called) that use wands to lob rapid fire blue fireballs at you.  It was twisted but a nice touch. Be prepared for a lot of dark areas.  I had to pick the brightest areas for pics, and even they were a bit dark for the most part.
    I played this using ZDoom so when I was bored out of my mind looking at acres and acres of pixillated nothingness, it wasn't  AS pixillated.  It was fun, when I was fighting, but there's a bright spot here; I forgot about my hangnail....
