Скачать или смотреть [Doom 2] Sunlust Map 18 Casual UV-Max

I didn't know what to play today for this mini-series of mine, so... I just picked the next Sunlust map.

I think among the three true skin-themed maps (17-19), it might be the easiest to just beat, because you can play it a lot slower than this. But when you want to beat all these maps aggressively, this might be the hardest. It has a lot of RNG in the form of archviles roaming around and cyber infighting, so there are a lot of ways for the chaos you uncork to mess up your runs.

In the route I took, the main truly dangerous parts are the BFG pickup and the elective BFG-spamming I do in the pit after returning with the megasphere. This map gives you two megaspheres, so what do I do? I waste them, basically. :P If the map's going to give me 200/200 I don't really need to hoard, then it makes sense to use that to clear faster.

Structurally, this map is pretty neat within the greater context of Sunlust just because its archetype is not very common. Before the final arena, it borders on being a true sandbox, the main real exception in a practical sense being the yellow skull key area, which is overly risky to open up while everything else is still alive. This is sort of the principle of equilibrium at play. If you're making a megawad, sure, you can make 32 maps of your number one favorite thing, but odds are that will grow stale and you'll crave something else at times. Hence, Sunlust occasionally breaks lockstep from its setpiece favoritism with less controlled affairs like map12 and this one, or breather maps among harder maps, or maps that seem not to care very much if you do everything (map14, map20, map28) among obligate completionist maps, and countless other sorts of diversions.
