Black Tower is actually very aesthetically pleasing imo.

[@eduardodiaz9942]

That's the tragedy of the Master Levels. After 17 levels of mostly tripe you finally get a map with an actual concept and somewhat decent visuals, and it turns out it's broken and it's almost impossible to 100% it.

[@miyagikot1798]

“This map is broken.” It’s a good thing decino is a broken Doom map repairman 😁.

[@ArchRevival]

The music on Black Tower is so perfect for it.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Meanwhile the music for TEETH is just fire.

[@SnapJack42]

I remember the creator's notes for these maps. Bloodsea Keep, Mephisto's Mausoleum, Black Tower, and TEETH were initially planned as part of a whole 32-map pack. The story he had was that you played a former cyberdemon who was forcefully deposed and cursed into human form, and the game would be your quest for revenge.

[@reloadpsi]

Doesn't the Master Levels pack actually have that story in the level descriptions as well?

[@JeffreyPiatt]

​@@reloadpsi the original master levels retail release was basically like the unofficial wad collection discs like dzone. The difference wss thst ID paid the authors to use the wads. Levels were packed as separate pwads and you used a ID provided launcher to select the level and it would start doom II with the correct commands.

Damn. I can really tell what Peter thinks of the Master Levels. I can't unhear the level transition music starting off as Mock 2's. After watching you going through these, it feels like Mock 2 might actually be more original and interesting than Master Levels.

[@CosmicStargoat]

"Maps become a lot more fun when you learn them" Wise words. Case in point, Plutonia 2, Map 17, Nuclear Horror. It is indeed a horror until you memorize the map. It will make you crazy at first. It is still very difficult, even memorized, but a lot more fun.

Aubrey Hodges’ atmospheric music is fantastic. They’re great on their own, and they don’t get on your nerves as fast when you’re fumbling through a level. Too bad some people just can’t comprehend ambient music *(Glares at ProtonJon.)*

[@csucskos]

Master Levels are a big bunch of confusing mess maps. If I had to describe them in one word, I'd say they are weird. Like the monster closets which open when you exit the map... There are some gems in there, I'm actually liking Map 20. I see why people hate it, but the idea is genius with all the floors and the layout. It's clever. And of course the music is a nice touch, Thanks Peter :D

[@korni27.eng.and.poland]

Unlike other videos, this one came of on a regular time of day

[@Destroyah5000]

For a Doom novice like me Teeth is a dick map from beginning to end. Even just using the elevator can be annoying since you have to run in time to exit off the floor you want. I haven't seen the Doom engine make a better elevator mechanic though. Also yeah, "there's an Archvile jump but it's easy". Tell that to the guy that didn't doorfight that room.

[@SiFi270]

I've taken the secret exit after killing all the monsters before. You just have to ensure the last few monsters are within reach once you're on the platform with the yellow door. Of course, that's quite a misleading "just" because it's much easier said than done and I can only manage it with ludicrous save scumming.

[@pscwplb]

Artistically speaking, I've always liked map 19 in the Master Levels the best. I've been wanting to semi-recreate it in the GZ DOOM engine, using 3D floors and portals to create a semi-real tower rather than relying on teleporters to simulate it. That way I can let you look out the windows at all levels of the tower to see the grounds below.

BUT THIS MIDIS THO!

[@peterludwig4599]

Nessus is a short little map that keeps your blood pumping. You made quick work of that one. Geryon is indeed a very atmospheric map. The music, the wide landscapes, the whole design. I love how your voice changes to match the atmosphere. Very good stuff from your side. Vesperas is a nasty death trap with a complex level design that puts your memory to a test. It is a tough map. But you get a little bit to cocky at the end. Rockets against Lost Souls? But i must say it was fun to watch. The Black Tower. What a beast of a map. The best map of the bunch and my favorite one. Storming the tower, battling your way through it and unrevealing its mysterys is fantastic. And the difficulty is just right and balanced. And you abused the Cyber Demon to do your dirty work at the top of the tower. Isnt that illegal? Anyway, this map shows that the Hexen design can actually work pretty well. The Express Elevator to Hell. WTF. This map gives you heck from the get go and never lowers its difficulty. This one wants you dead. You made it look easy to a degree. But even you struggled. Bad Dream is stupid and difficulty. Cyber Demon overload with a crusher over their heads. And the rest is just fucking with you. Stupid map.

[@Moue666]

Funny story about Black Tower. On the PS4 version of Doom II, for some reason, instead of map 25 being Bloodfalls like normal. There was a glitch which would make map 25 Black Tower instead of Bloodfalls. It’s absolutely crazy of a glitch and I have no idea if it’s been patched yet.

Great, they left out probably the best map of the Master Levels, Black Tower, from the PS1 version that I played as a kid =/

[@OmegaTyrant]

Black Tower would have been very hard to port to the PS1, however the "lost levels for PSX" project on Doomworld did do an alright if compromised version of Black Tower that could have theoretically worked, and the PS1's fire sky fits really well with Black Tower. PS1 Final Doom though was a rush job for easy money as admitted by the creator, which is why over half the maps from Master Levels, TNT, and Plutonia weren't in it.

[@flkfnd]

Weird thing I noticed about Vesperas on the PS3 version (finally conquered UVmax Mephistos Maosoleum, feelsgoodman) its skybox is that of a Doom 2 city map and not the nightsky it should be, changes the feel of the map considerably. Big ups Pumpkin Man.

Nessus is a good example of the difference between a casual Doom player and a certified stud like decino. I could 100% that map on UV-fast, but it would have taken 50 minutes and been boring as heck because I'd never just try to mow down all of the monsters from up close like that.

It sounded final level, if that makes sense, more adrenaline heavy than oppressive like, say, E1M8.
