Best thing that happened to the game since Extreme Chase.
Obviously this is the author’s dream map since back in 2015 he made a Duke3d E1L1 remake with the assets at hand (
But now when Duke Nukem Reloaded was leaked we can finally see this incredible piece of gaming history in all its glory.
Excellent graphics and art. Many questions we had are now answered. Many times we looked at Legacy assets from ROTT2013 and wondered how they were going to be used in mysterious Duke Nukem Reloaded, and now we can find them on their initial places.
The level layout is more realistic than the original, but still maintains look and feel of the iconic classic location. There are lovely secrets and easter eggs such as two miniature El Oscuros placed on a shelf. Keys are smaller to nod keykards of Duke3d and superhidden keys from Redneck Rampage.
Gameplay design is top-notch, it shows excellent understanding how ROTT enemy soldiers behave and places them where fighting them would be the most fun. Miniboss Dirty Sanchez will make a (more than one) glorious comeback. There are also funny scenes such as soldier who exits the restroom and attacks the . team from behind and sudden ambush of Triad Enforcer in a secret closet (I was so lucky to have a Dark Staff at the moment)
Weapon placement takes a bit relaxing style since every time we find a strong weapon, opportunity to use it effectively immediately presents itself.
Surprising change of music in the end is a great unexpected touch that adds an awesome sense of closure.
