Definitely one of the biggest and the best Duke 3D mods out there. Not diverging from the original games that much (no new art or weapons), but greatly expanding upon it and bringing it to today's standards. The levels are huge and the whole thing can be treated as a game of its own, that will keep you entertained for about 20-40 hours, depending on how much of a completionist you are. Brilliant level design and creativity. Having the privilege of beta-testing this episode and seeing how it was conceived, I'm really glad how it all turned out in the end after over 4 years of development!
You will either hate or love this mod.
It has some of the coolest levels I've seen in a long time but it is also the most frustrating duke mod I ever played.
Someone in another review mentioned the game turns into Touhou and I kid you not, it's exactly what happens. Pretty much anything that lives has either rockets or grenades and you will get sniped from the other side of the level with often no chance of fighting back, sometimes even from places that are outside playable bounds.
I'm also not sure if this was tested on anything else but easy difficulty. Expect to have to do some serious ammo management and come up with cheese strategies to make it out alive.
All in all it's not made for everybody, but there is some really great stuff to do and see if you're willing to put up with the mod's shortcomings.
Good maps but really confusing.
Good and detailed levels, love it.
Huge levels, easily 20 hours of gameplay, challenging and most importantly, FUN!
This is really good. These are probably the most enormous maps I have ever seen in a Duke 3D, let alone in episodes. You probably need to add some new weapons or even different ammo for long-ranged purposes. I love watching lots of folks coming from above and then the game turns into Touhou to avoid getting shot.
Thank you very much, and I am a big fan of duke nukem games and I give a rating of 10...
