Map review of Indokiina

(originally posted on SCMapDB)

    There are two maps here and they are completely different. Reading the map description can easily lead you to believe that the maps are similar, but they really aren't. There are some textures both maps use but that is where the similarities end.

    The first map, indokiina, is a hallway with four rooms on the right side. The first has a bunch of weapons and some zombies with Gina Cross models halfway through the floor. I play as Gina myself so I immediately killed them, there can be only one after all. There was also a poorly made toilet and simple rough bathtub with and HEV suit in it. Red water was haphazardly placed around in such a way that it hovered over the floor, completely exposing the side and not matching up with patches of water next to it so the waves were different.

    The other rooms were less interesting, the last room had headcrab spawners that unleashed a lot of headcrabs. That was pretty much the whole map.

    The second map is a room with a ton of random objects scattered around. The floor was uneven with large cracks and raised sections. The proportions on a lot of these things were weird, there is a very big chair on one side. Check out the screenshots for this map, the bottom six are all from this random room.

    The room has a bunch of zombies that do not come back after you kill them. There are random weapons scattered around the map, there is a rocket launcher on the side of the map on a ledge.

    The map indojapan is supposedly a sequel to this, but I can't make any sense of how that would work. Maybe the two indokiina maps and the indojapan all being completely different maps with nothing in common, but also some sort of series is supposed to a be a big joke.

Pros:

  • Lot of weapons provided to the players

Cons:

  • neither map looks good, both design and textures are bad
  • utter nonsense

Score: 1 / 10

The Absolute State of this Blog

   I'm a big fan of Sven Co-op, so much so that I was only half joking when I presented the terrible idea of playing and reviewing every map to my partner in crime, Dunkelschwamm. Much to my surprise she agreed and now here we are, 371 maps in to the 1558 maps currently on the Sven Co-op map database . It was done primarily to get people to stop leaving reviews in the comments and to actually put them in the review section. Let me just check the reviews on the map database. . . . yeah, I think it sort of worked. Then we got nervous that wikidot might die and take the site with it so I created this blog as a mirror.      Dunkel was unemployed at the time and my fiancé still had tons of patience for me so it went swimmingly, I think we averaged something like 15 reviews a week. I did the math but circumstances keep changing and so do the numbers, so that's a very rough estimate. We both dabbled in making maps for Sven long ago when the game was relevant and popula...

Swiss Cheese Halloween - Dunkelschwamm

        Swiss Cheese Halloween is a conversion of an ancient Half-Life mod of the same name. It was made back in the whimsical time of 2002 by an author who goes by Swiss Cheese, hence the map name.

It was one of the first Half-Life mods I ever played, years ago. I was excited to play through it with a buddy in Sven, so I got this port. This review is following our finishing of the mod together.      The mod as a whole offers many m...

Civil Defence - Dunkelschwamm

Image
       Kill a bunch of soldiers and aliens in some generic warehouses and offices somewhere in a red brick city. It's a pretty straightforward map that requires at least two people. SCMapDB page Authors: Daniel Plant Date of release: 2004 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Civil Defence (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | January 7, 2024 | 3588 characters      Civil Defence is a very simple sequence of gunfighting arenas in a warehouse district setting. Players fight their way out of a building by escaping along its fire escape, then through the district, before moving through a sewers area to the final battle. The first third of the map sees players fighting blackops grunts and assassins, before things take a sudden shift and see the players fighting an odd combination of vortigaunts, gonomes, and shock troopers (with a few itchyosaurs, and eventually a voltigore, thrown into the mix).      The battles in this are intense.
