Czechbox - MAP13: Castle Climber (Blind Ultra-Violence 100%)

[@eingi8597]

Thanks for playing my submission! My intention was to show works of Czech community, but Vesnice was already ahead. Oh well, can't get hurt by more good Czech levels! I've chosen this level because I've considered a decent challenge, although you made it easy. In the end, biggest challenge was not to fall (lmao). The lost soul wall is great shock and surprise, unless you are playing on GZDoom or Doom Retro, like I do. Oops. Pipicz, mapper for three maps in Plutonia 2, actually contributed one map in set, HQ on slot 19 to be more concrete. This was work of Vašek Havránek, whose name hopefully didn't take away your 1,59 dollars. I'm glad you have enjoyed it. I was worried that you would fall too often, or would not like climbing such height. Luckily, you've enjoyed it, so I'm happy about that.

[@decino]

Thanks for the submission. It was a great choice for sure, very fun map with a cool concept.

[@TehDamned]

Thanks for submission ;)

[@krykry606]

Love how photorealistically the map represents the source country. Especially those pinkies and arachnatrons.

[@estefencosta1835]

Going out for milk in the Czech Republic sounds hazardous. Have to outrun the pinkies and dodge the arachnatrons.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

​@@estefencosta1835 Don't trip on the intestines.

[@Xeotroid]

Can't have shit in Prague

[@evilotis01]

the eyes at 8:00 are genuinely startling imo. amazing that Doom still has the power to conjure a jumpscare as it enters its third decade!

[@rockleesmile]

That eye wall reveal at 8:04 was really cool! Love watching you play creative maps like this. Well done all around.

[@WorldofFood]

These are the kind of maps you love to see. Nothing mind blowing or tricky. Just some well designed, good old fashioned dooming

[@tarakzair2036]

The tone of the MIDI and climbing an antiquated castle gives me vibes of the original Unreal. Particularly of the Sunspire and Nali Castle levels.

[@weaseln_hecktorplaysgames9625]

I love the visuals and design a lot. And the tricks and gimmicks around too

[@Jsitun]

Wtf, this map is aesthetic AF. Great vid.

[@Nob1ej0n]

Fun map. That lost soul wall was nasty. 🙂

[@lhfirex]

This one czechs all the boxes to be a great map.

[@FuscaBat]

It's amazing how much bigger a map feels when it incorporates so much verticality.

[@weaseln_hecktorplaysgames9625]

It truly is

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Makes me want to play Altitude.

[@ademkapovskic8106]

breathtaking level, made me wish more maps did verticality as good as this, only thing is that perhaps the texture set should've been limited. bravo to our czech brothers!

[@AliceErishech]

Having a fight against nothing but lost souls at the end is actually pretty clever. It'll teach the player not to let down their guard even if the game says they have all kills.

[@flaviapunktexe]

The CzechBox is one of my favourite mappacks. I highly regard to play it!

[@fisk0]

Getting some Dark Souls/Demon's Souls vibes from this map, especially when that fireblu teleporter appeared, feeling a bit like one of the Souls games' fog doors, and there was something about the monster placements, the verticality, thin ledges and obviously the castle motif that also evoked those games.

[@SwitchILY]

ANOTHER CZECH REVOLUTION CALLED "THE VELVET REVOLUTION PART 2" IS INCOMING TO DECINOS CHANNEL

[@iammegamanx]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING??!??

[@SmrdiTiBabka]

@@iammegamanx his name means junkie

[@respectfulremastersbymetal8336]

Wow, that was a fantastic map! The aesthetics, the music choice, the layout, the surprises. All on point. They put a lot of work into that.

[@proosee]

First you think "oh, yet another medieval castle in doom", but then you realise it's actually quite creative, I enjoyed it a lot

[@estefencosta1835]

This MIDI is a banger. I love how many good MIDI's there are out there in general.

[@MGMan37]

it gives me PTSD Flashbacks of Scythe MAP30.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Another good one. Turned out much milder than expected given the music pick, but still an enjoyable few minutes of verticality, visuals and music. You can't ask for much more than this out of a non-blockbuster.

[@peterludwig4599]

What a great map. I’m a sucker for castle maps and this one has not only a great gimmick, but also excellent design. Will try it myself. Besides, I’m finished the first Cartel wad this morning. You should give it a try. Would be more on the easy side for you, but it has great stuff in it.

[@zer0interno]

The archittector's effort is amazing

[@trajonduclos7931]

Amazing environment. Leverages the third dimension aspect. Tremendous opportunity for tons more secrets/exploring.

[@AbAb-th5qe]

This map has really great atmosphere and pacing

[@pCadavez]

This map was fantastic, to me it had Heretic aestheetic vibes, and the midi was so fitting!

[@wallyhackenslacker]

The Sunder-lite vibes on this one are through the roof! So far I think this one is my favorite of this round of submissions. Either this one or the one from Hell Cartel 2, I'm not sure. Anyway this map is a banger.

[@ESTERZEOFF]

Yeah, classic Doom is very popular in Czech Republic as I found out recently from a stream from another Doomer like you.

[@grandsteack]

Greetings decino, I'm sad to see that your princess is in another castle. Superb map that would have deserved a moment of appreciation (I'm missing those and I saw in previous comments that I'm not the only one). Very nice submission again.

[@Brucifer2]

Oh my god the music 😍

[@guitarzan5328]

When you exclaimed, "Ahh! Oh man. Ughhh... my poor legs. My poor knees" @17:01 I thought you meant _your_ poor legs/knees. Had me worried there for a moment. 😂😂

[@BigMacDavis]

Finished the level with nice health and nice ratios on the tally screen. I'm happy.

[@ControlledCha0s]

You know, this one's midi never fails to remind me of that famous walkthrough run of yours of Scythe's _"Fire and ice"_ map back in 2018, where you wiped out a Cybie with like 20-something health, only to almost get yourself killed right afterwards, and more than halfway through the whole thing, by a Revvie rocket to the face. 😁😉 Always awesome to see you around here, BigMac, old friend! 👍

[@hornedpout]

I love these blind run submissions. Good stuff.

[@feliperojas-doomride]

great map, great midi. I want to czech out the rest of the wad now

[@Olek54321]

it's good there were no inescapable pits or damaging floors everytime you felt down (lmao). Wonderful submission, I enjoyed it a lot!

[@СергейМисюк-ж1к]

Czech people sure know their way around castles, I can tell. Music and skybox are ideal combination. Oh, and I like the eye room.

[@Chozo_Ghost]

The ROTT music fits very well on this map.

[@iguana9173]

This was a very cool level. Also one of my favourite level music.

[@kingsfield3945]

Glad to see you playing this mapset, it's one of my favorites. Very underrated as a whole.

[@krzysztofwaleska]

Beautiful music. Nice gameplay. As always - true pleasure to watch. I love Czechy, such fantastic small towns with so many beautiful places and details.

[@eldandraken4850]

wow! what an amazing map! love the verticality and that you dont completely lose the progress if you happen to fall

[@TehDamned]

What a map! The author of the map has to be pure genius! :D I am pleased you all liked it!

[@Dollar_Store_Cacodemon]

What a great map! Definitely getting Sunder vibes as you said, decino. Hag's Finger and Precarious come to mind. Maybe a little bit of Python in there too but it never feels like this one is ripping any of those maps off.

[@estefencosta1835]

Additional comment: The green/grey/brown palette really works. Makes the castle seem dreary.

[@ShMokou]

A common fact: Phobos (place where go actions of episode 1) actually located above the Czech republic.

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

Again another gorgeous map. The creativity in the Doom community knows no bounds.

[@OfficeHyena]

gorgeous map, great playing as usual decino

[@Punk93Metal]

Love the verticality on this map! Great video as always

[@YogiTheBearMan]

I want to see an analysis video about how much verticality is possible in doom now

[@theblobconsumes4859]

Reminded me a lot of Blood. Loved it! Would love to see a playthrough of the rest of Czechbox blind as well.

[@stephensodergren2679]

Imagine if there was fall damage in Doom! Great map and a fun run! Thanks decino!

[@its0xFUL]

Glad you Czeched this one out! ;)

[@CaveyMoth]

Wait. What the heck? I just randomly watched your playthrough of Scythe Map30: Fire and Ice, and it had the same exact background song! My mind is blown!

[@CaveyMoth]

And I can't stop thinking of the enemy names in Dutch. Those dang spinners and cyberdemona!

[@rankoinazuma6788]

2:32 Double Kill!

[@emperorSbraz]

Rampage!

[@wallabra]

​@@emperorSbrazUnstoppable!

[@aedwynn6474]

Hey, that's the Rise of the Triad 'Game Over' music! Ah, man... that brings back memories... painful, fiery memories of nasty metallic enforcement.

[@GeminionRay]

decino looking for Imps is something you don't see often. Also that Lost Soul trap at the end is nasty.

[@victoriouswinner7745]

i love the sky, really gives off a penultimate challenge vibe

[@rayft1422]

Nice play-through of a nice map!

[@combolynch]

Haha c'est un video amusant et magnificent! Garder le rythme

[@mono4643]

A beer a stogie and a Decino video to keep me entertained. Life is good.

[@_thelinq_]

Amazing map e beautifully designed and this midi is fantastic - 10/10

[@xTerminatorAndy]

yeah this is a good quality map. They could do a episode pack with quality maps like this. Thanks Decino

[@lukebehrendsbro.]

I must say this map is definitely good and this MIDI from Scythe eh? K. But oh man that nasty surprise with tons of Lost Souls at the end is somethin. 😬Very good job indeed Eingi! 👍

[@carpediemarts705]

Yes. I like the new strategy of playing with the hud down.

[@Pdotta1]

Great surprise at the end.

[@jrock718]

Nice run pumpkin man

[@css1323]

Great map, very entertaining run. At least the map didn’t let you get stuck. 😊

[@tornado100able]

What a beautiful map!

[@parallelcircuit]

This was very good, I think I'm not alone in saying I wouldn't mind seeing a playthrough of the whole Czechbox if they're all this good. Also TNT: Evilution Nightmare 100% + Items when?

[@ESTERZEOFF]

I think ducino wants to keep the meme of hating TNT alive, together with Civvie (totally spelled that wrong) 😂😂

[@cyberangel2787]

It's probably never happening more because of map 9, which has been done on Nightmare by only a few people so far.

[@XzMondayNightzX]

This imps give those doom 2 city imps a run for their money. The real DC snipers.

[@Sett86]

I would've sworn I'm just about the only person in Czech Republic still actually playing this game.

[@ManuWesker]

Damn, this map gives a lesson to all castles in video games. Dimitrescu castle can go to hell ! And that's end with all the Lost Souls coming from the portal, just woah, awesome

[@gregoryheidt2746]

"With a rocket launcher, anything is possible", The Map. Great map though, a few challenges but nothing hair-pull inducing. And beautifully made. So much verticality and tightly packed intricacy because of it; maps have really come a long way! The only bummer is falling and having to climb back up or wait for a long lift. Got some Getting Over It vibes, haha

[@gregoryheidt2746]

Also, the Czech flag colors superimposed over the intermission screen, nice touch lol

[@cyberangel2787]

The concept sure reminds me of Cursed Kingdom from Requiem.

[@liangseng7474]

That was one of the best maps from Requiem

[@markberkan8317]

If anyone is thinking of trying this WAD, don't wait. It's super fun with some challenge here and there. This is quite similar to Anomaly Report in terms of gameplay.

[@bison8962]

Love that ROTT music

[@Chunes3]

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this video! Just yesterday I was beating myself up because I didn't submit this map! Talk about coincidences...

[@TheRogueWolf]

Now there's my idea of Hell: Constantly climbing stairs.

[@killerhertzmercedes]

Amazing design

[@MajdFreiji]

Grove is next yeeey I see you already have that recorded so we'll wait for tomorrow to see what you've cooked for us 😊

[@riba2233]

good thing you "czech-ed" the area... I'll see myself out

[@tatamimats]

Cool map design

[@silverroddo1468]

Fun map, very good Damned.

[@Trencher1375]

What a nice map!

[@JokinAround]

I find funny how Decino likes this midi. To me it just gives me PTSD from Sycthe's FIre and Ice.

[@fellow_doomer]

very beautiful map!

[@adinocc2042]

Excellent map.

[@cheesegoesnuts]

8:45 Decino climbs the castle even more

[@rjdeseijn]

One of the best map I have seen so far! But am I the only one who sees a face with a big beard instead of just two skulls and a ridge below @15:31 ? ( look a bit through your eyelashes if you don't see it right away ;-)

[@5ilver42]

I appreciate the verticality in this map, it makes me wonder what playing it in 4:3 would be like.

[@esek308]

Woo!

[@TKScreamer]

This midi activates my ptsd, cause its usually was used in some hard maps (schythe map 30 and alien vandetta map 25)

[@peterhawes9680]

Alternative title: The Hag's Little Finger.

[@Unknown-gf1ci]

Alright Decino Now time to do Sunlust, nightmare, one hand behind your back.

[@markthomas1668]

far out level, architecture is great

[@Nuclearstomp]

Love how vertical this map was.

[@MountainLWolf]

Only you could comfortably turn your back on a Hell Knight hehe

[@pannomic]

that end was nasty hahaha

[@AhmedKhaled-he9mf]

thanks for play as blind

[@liangseng7474]

Like the soundtrack from Fire and Ice in Map 30 of Scythe

[@YogiTheBearMan]

Sick map. Imagine on nightmare especially blind. I kind of want to see Decino play it on nightmare now

[@Landrew0]

I'm convinced that wad developers who don't know how to make a map fun and challenging, just make it confusing instead. I'm talking about fake exits and such.

[@jirijiri5437]

Yes, love when you Play czech Maps. Im proud to be czech and Also love you. So win win. Made my day. Wuw u ducino xoxo 😂❤
