Zied Rieke brought us Vivisect
Six, and he is back with the excellent Severe
Exposure. Severe Exposure is a very
apt title. From the moment you teleport in you will find yourself severely
wounded
as you are exposed to multiple snipers.
It seems that this base is set up with a strong defense in mind.
"Heads Up" is the name of the game
here or it will be "Heads Off". Sprinkled liberally throughout this base
are overhead guard positions, so if you think you will just sneak through
here without keeping an eye upward, you will be 6 feet downward!
And these guys won't just sit around
waiting for you either. Once they see you they attack. They jump down from
overhead positions and generally track you down. It will not be uncommon
for you to walk into an area and hear multiple thuds as bad guys drop from
overhead positions and attack.
Architecture is done very nicely,
and there are a few surprises in store for you as well, especially near
the end.
This is a fun yet challenging romp
through a base with a very "real" feel. The roaming attacking guards and
the overhead sniper positions give this level just the right amount of
tension to keep you on your toes and hopefully off your back! |
Sheesh, these
guys are a little sloppy with their radioactive wastes. You would think
that a big operation like this could afford a janitor (with radioactive
puss lesions no doubt) that could come in here now and then and mop this
mess up.
Stripes! Zied
I just love what you've done with the place. Perhaps you could redecorate
the pentagon with something a bit more "now".
