FDA - Nazi Slayer

//My text reviews are always an accompaniment to the video review so if you read just text below it seems like I'm shitting on the map but the video provides specific examples and ways to improve - just wanted to make that clear.

This is Keyboardstalker's first ever WAD and it's "centered" around killing Nazis. I say "centered" because all this means it features a load of SS (no custom Nazi enemies) and a midi version of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" by the Dead Kennedys.

It's very under detailed and boxy. There are texture alignment issues in several areas and doors where the default STARTAN hasn't been replaced. There were no wolf textures used to tie in the nazi theme so all you had was SS soldiers and the midi to try to convey the theme.

The gameplay is one dimensional and pretty boring. It's very easy all with not a single difficult fight including the cyberdemon fight at the end. The map being almost 100% linear didn't help make it interesting. There was no need for the obnoxious exit switch which kills you instantly at the end either.

Keep on mapping but I'd say make a few maps before releasing another one. Iteration cycles are the key.
