"A
new single-player experience will draw
you into a demented world like never
before. "
Here comes
the darkest, scariest episode to ever
grace a hard drive. Zerstorer is 8 levels
of pure and genuinely creepy atmosphere,
great looking maps and gameplay. A very
good story in written here,
even though it somewhat borrows from Tool's " Bottom
", read it before you start playing.
I suggest starting the download as soon
as possible, you can read the review as
it's downloading.
So,
started downloading yet? Good, good, I
assure you, this will not dissapoint.
Zerstorer has, besides 8 almost perfect
levels, thrown in a couple of new things
for your enjoyment. There are 5 new
weapons, as follows:
1. A chainsaw, which is
the best chainsaw mod available for Quake.
2. Riot Controller,
which is a rapid fire shotgun, truly
great and makes the double barreled
shotgun look silly.
3. Chaingun, replaces
nailgun, pretty much the same thing, but
more damaging and a new model and sound,
pretty good.
4. Chain Lightning Gun -
very cool weapon, it's in essence, a
double lightning gun, dishes out a lot of
damage, but you only get it for one level.
5. Screw Cannon -
intresting, a sort of plasma gun, but you
get it at the end of the last level, with
not much time to play with it
There are
also 4 new monsters, as follows:
1. Star Ogre - For some
reason, Ogres got a hold of a bunch of
chinese stars and decided to throw them
at you. Not very hard.
2. Mega Enforcer - Very
cool enemy, a re-skinned Enforcer that
shoots plasma and homing projectiles, and
has an impenetrable shield around him,
which only lowers itself occasionally.
3. Nemesant - The scary
monster. A floating, chanting demon with
some very devastating attacks. Has a
creepy whispering noise that is good at
freaking you out in dark places. He kills
you with very effective attacks that look
very cool, an eyeball that homes in on
you, and one where the air around you
starts to turn to fire, then explodes.
4. The Destroyer -
you'll see.
Along with
the very high quality additions mentioned
above, added extras are great blood and
meat textures, flight artifact, very well
done cutscenes, and more.

All levels
are very high quality, and I will give an
overview of them all. Skill setting are
in effect, as there is a start map.
Originally, the single player maps were
not vis'ed to support transparent water
in GLQuake, well nolonger. Zoop has re-vis'ed the
single player maps in this episode to
support transparent water so feel free to
set your water alpha to 0.4.

- Shipping Complex : 42 monsters,
2 secrets
A very fine beginning level, reminescent
of e1m1 (the slipgate complex)
because of it's small size, low
difficulty, but I like this better. It's
an industrial map, done with bronze
metal, grey stone under a blood red sky.
Here you fight just base enemies, but the
introduction of the chainsaw makes things
interesting. It's over fairly quick, with
a very cool exit that doesn't look so
safe to jump in. This map leads into a
good cutscene map, that sets the stage
nicely.
zer1m2
: Cutscene : 0 monsters,
0 secrets
All though this isn't a playable level,
the cutscene is one of the best ever seen
in a Quake conversion. Just watch and
you'll see what we mean.
