Has anyone played the "Shambler's Castle" minimod for Doom 3?

I played it. It's ok as an original Doomish mod for Doom 3, but it's a horrid disgrace as a Quake remake.

I mean the place doesn't even look like Quake, and the monsters look like ugly beasts, not Quake monsters.

Yes, I played it.

It is impressive, but I don't really enjoy the gameplay.

As a next gen Quake (which I don't think was its goal) it's quite simply not interesting enough. There is no story, no innovative gameplay mechanics etc.

As a remake of the old Quake in the DOOM3 engine (which was the goal I think), it doesn't succeed either. I don't know why, I thought the gameplay was too slow if I remember correctly. Been a while since I played it.

I also think that Quake monsters shouldn't look like He-Man. That muscular look feels out of place. I already thought the D3 Hellknight looked pretty much like a He-Man action figure. A shambler should look bulky and furry, not muscular.

Honorable attempt, though. Too bad it's no longer in development afaik.
