These levels do the usual “Doom II” WAD trick of throwing lots of mid-high level monsters at you regularly. Seriously, don’t let the easy first level lull you into a false sense of security! Even though this level set has been made by a modern games company, it is anything but easy!
Seriously, even this part of the second level will give you quite a challenge… and it’s easy compared to the later levels! One of the very first things that I will say about “Dimension Of The Past” is that it quickly goes from being ‘enjoyably challenging’ to ‘borderline unfair’ very quickly – even on normal difficulty! If it wasn’t for the fact that I’ve built up an attitude of dogged determination from playing quite a few ultra-challenging modern “Doom II” WADs over the past few years, then I’d have probably abandoned this level set out of frustration fairly early on. Since the level set presents itself as a ‘fifth episode’ for the original game, then this decision makes a lot of sense. These levels are “vanilla” levels that just contain the standard textures, monsters etc. “Dimension Of The Past” contains eleven levels for “Quake” – including an introductory level, a secret level ( that I didn’t find) and a deathmatch level. So, let’s take a look at “Dimension Of The Past”: So, the quality of the graphics/textures in the screenshots in this review is probably slightly lower than the ones you’ll see if you play the game on normal (32 bit) settings. However, due to issues with either the source port and/or my computer, I had to lower the graphics settings to 16 bits per pixel in order to get a playable framerate.
Well, since I was still in a “ Quake” kind of mood, I thought that I’d check out a set of unofficial levels from 2016 called “ Dimension Of The Past” that were made by a company called Machine Games to celebrate Quake’s 20th anniversary.Īs usual, I used the “Darkplaces” source port whilst playing these levels.
