Eye Of Cul Episode
Eye Of Cul Episode is for version 1.4/1.5. It has 8 levels (1 is secret) and the file is 749KB in size. The file name is eyeofcul.zip. It was released on July 14, 2003. Note: The web site I found this on was in Spanish. There was a zip file with 2 art tiles plus a zip containing all the maps. The maps could also be downloaded separately. The text on the site said to modify the duke user.con file to play as an episode and the order the maps are to be played. I placed all the files in one zip and included a modified user.con to make it easier to load. Also I could not figure out what the title of this episode should be so I took a guess and named it Eye Of Cul Episode. Eye Of Cul has fair to good level design and good gameplay. Level 1 is a small city type level. Level 2 is a slightly larger city level. I did not find any items on levels 1 and 2, or any of the secret areas on levels 1 or 2 according to the level ending screens. The first key on level 2 was not that easy to find and took me a few minutes of backtracking to find it. Also some areas only had a few aliens to kill with nothing to show for it. A well designed level usually has at least some ammo or an item to make the effort worth it. Level 3 starts off above ground, then into a sewer system and on to a missile base. I finally got some items on this level. It's a much larger level with better level design than the first 2 levels. Level 4 is another good level that takes place in a bombed out wasteland. Level 5 is a large city level with very good level design and gameplay. Level 6 is a very large cemetery and crypt style level with a lot of aliens to kill. This was the best level so far. Level 7 is a large evil temple/church like level. The secret level is an industrial complex style level. As far as level design and gameplay it falls between levels 3 and 4. This is one TC that can't be judged on the first couple of levels. I rate it as good with 3 out of 5 stars. |
