[Alien Vendetta] MAP13: Suicidal Tendencies (UV-Max Demo)

the gloves are officially off... kind of. there's a pretty huge spike in the number of enemies here - nearly 600 - but overall this is a reasonably straightforward level. part of it is the enemy compositions; hallways full of basic zombiemen aren't not dangerous, but they do run up the enemy count pretty quickly. there's also a point later in the level where two spider masterminds will take care of a whole lot of enemies for you. i won't lie, it's pretty fun to push a button to unleash a horde of imps, put your feet up, and watch them get shredded without having to lift a finger. that's not to say the level is easy, however. the start can be tricky as shotgunner come at you from two directions, although i now realize i could have stood in a different hallway. either way it's a lot of hitscan to fend off with a pump action. the big warehouse room isn't too bad but the cyberdemon in there can catch you off guard and it's tempting to get greedy and try and run up the infighting score. this is further exacerbated by a lot of the ammo being tucked into the far corner of the map; in retrospect, probably better to clear that out more quickly. the finale is probably my least favorite bit as it's a bit of a gotcha encounter - unless you grab the invincibility before the yellow key, or very shortly thereafter, you're probably going to get blown up by a bunch of archviles. if you do do it right, it just requires putting your back to a wall and holding down the fire button while getting bounced around, which i don't totally love. but either way there's lots of great action here and it's pretty fun to blast through it.

Awesome gameplay. That last Hell knight in clip mode or something lol

oh i totally forgot to mention this in the description but that's a ghost monster, produced by the hell knight getting crushed by the door and then resurrected by and archvile. annoying, because it can only take splash damage.
