"These
are the undergraves. Above lies the old church, long abandoned. You begin
here in the catacombs. The door above slams shut, leaving you to find another
way free. There are groans all around you. Find your way through these
catacombs and plunge into the undergraves below. Salvation lies forward
...and down." ~Kevin Gwartney
It had
been quite a while since I had played Quake1 when I loaded "Undergraves"
and sat back to enjoy a quick nostalgic romp. Much to my delight Kevin
had put together quite an engrossing level complete with moody shadows,
nifty architecture and tough combat.
Starting
up above in the old church itself you are able to choose your difficulty
level. From there it's underground and into the crypts. The undead are
here to greet you, and you will need to whip out your trusty grenade launcher
to ease them of their burden and usher them into their eternal rest.
Architecture
is nicely realized with suitably dim underground lighting. The massive
tower structure with rickety spiral stairway is a standout.
Gameplay
moves along quickly and Kevin has provided some very appropriate verbal
clues as you proceed. Only one sequence had me hunting around for what
to do next, a small hidden teleportation device was revealed....but my
bleary eyes missed it for some time!
Thanks
Kevin for providing a fine excuse to dust off the ol' Quake1 CD and frag
em' again one more time!

Smart stylish
level with murky shadows and a creepy premise. |

That little
teleportation devise may elude you, but then again maybe not. |

A very good
reason to crank up the ol' Quake1 game again! |
