/vr/ - Retro Games

Can somebody tell me why the fuck I'm doing this?

So far it seems a lot tougher than Wolf3D - ammo seems scarcer at times and there's not a lot of open areas around, so the rocket launcher and flamethrower stand-in can't really be used. The enemies can still take off over 70% of your life in one shot if you're unlucky, so that's still a constant problem, and this level has a bunch of tough hitscan motherfuckers behind barrels (so once again I'm restricted to hitscan only myself) and introduces a new, even tougher enemy type that nearly oneshotted me inside a hallway where I wasn't expecting it in a little nook to the side.

Shit's tough, man. It showers you with extra lives, but the game doesn't seem balanced for pistol starts (every few levels, I notice one where it's pretty much impossible to get through without some powerful weapon - open area with tons of hitscanners), so you might as well just save after every level and reload.
