Map of the Week #37
Hey everyone!
Welcome to the first MotW of 2019! New year, same old MotWs! Even down to whose levels we’re highlighting, as this week’s spotlight is on “The December Mixup” by Nintee – a collection of levels that reimagine maps from DEADBOLT’s main campaign.
Unlike the remakes we’ve covered in the past, however, this collection focuses on swapping around the details of maps without changing the layouts. The Dredged warehouse in Horror Show is now a vampire nightclub (appropriately named “Horror Show but with Vampires”), and Puff’s building is now a Demon owned one, with a sniping section where you assassinate a Patriarch in Roland’s building.
With eight levels in total, this campaign allows you to go through an alternate storyline, filled with familiar locations and familiar people, with slight differences in the specifics. What faction owns what, how enemies are laid out, what events take place in each level, all mixed with Nintee’s unique sense of design and, sometimes, humour.
As you could expect from a DEADBOLT campaign, the collection’s got a pretty grim tone and, as the game warns you each time you launch it, contains topics of death and suicide, touching upon them in the same manner as the original campaign. But we’re not all here for the story, many of us are just here to make undead heads explode, and this campaign sure as hell delivers on that.
Play it now!
