Those fullbrights, though.

Very reasonable and nice boss I got kind of lost at times but following enemies worked. I remember not liking it very much the first time I played it, but for some reason I enjoyed it a lot on my second try today. There are some insane moments which are very fun.
Jugador: I agree, I think it’s the only time I saw them in Quake (maybe I got lucky). Good news: someone released patches for fullbrights in old maps, and they fix this one. Have a look there: http://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=61775

I always thought the fullbrights were intentional. I’ve had this map on my radar for awhile, and I’ve finally played it, and I know why I never finished it. Progression is obtuse and the encounters are more brutal than enjoyable. Don’t like the new monsters; I don’t know how to deal with them when they’re just reskins of existing monsters. Do I approah the way I do usually, or should I treat it like something I never saw before? I killed the dragon at the end and then I couldn’t figure out where to go, which is something I was struggling with the whole map. Kind of a bummer. It looks so beautiful.
Thanks for the link, Gioyo3aa. Good to know that resource exists.

This map was recommended in the comment section under Moonlight Assault as another great castle map, but the two could not be any more different. I played both on hard and it was night and day:
MA is easygoing, casual, but Atrocity grabs you by the throat and jerks you around, throwing you into a pit of lava. I’d play MA again without thinking twice, but this one requires a few deep breaths and careful consideration – because you’re in for 30 minutes of nonstop action.
There’s no comparison in terms of atmosphere: Atrocity knocks MA outta the water, but MA has its old-school charm. Play both, if you haven’t already.
