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

Deluge - Dunkelschwamm

       Deluge is a very atmospheric map made by one of the community's most acclaimed mappers, RNG. This map is very indicative of his style, well detailed moody and oppressive environment, strange monsters, and high levels of interactivity including lots of secrets. SCMapDB page Author: RNG Date of final release: 2014 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Deluge (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | April 9, 2022 | 4625 characters      Deluge is a map by RNG, which you can assume means it is a quality map. RNG brings style, high-production, and a confusing sense of eldritch nonsense that glues the experience together in a way that makes it feel like something that was summoned from another plane of existence rather than mapped out.      The map is a classic arcade-style keyhunt level. After choosing a difficulty (I suggest going as hard as possible, as with two players it felt easy) you hop into a gritty world that feels like brutalist, industrial architecture made its way

Zombie Squad - Dunkelschwamm

       Suit up squad, it's time to go fight human grunts that this map calls zombies. This map is a horde map taking place in a burned out urban block, supposedly there are points to capture but I didn't see any. SCMapDB page Author: cyberdaemon Date of release: 2005 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Zombie Squad (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | July 17, 2023 | 2601 characters      Zombie Squad is a well detailed horde map wherein grunts and hwgrunts (and, like, an assassin) swarm the players from every angle. Thankfully, within the details of the ruins are plenty of weapons, and a reasonable smattering of HEV and health pickups.      The description makes it sound like maybe my experience with the map is broken. There were, like, 3 soldiers which looked like zombies in the map. I think far more were meant to be zombies? Also, the MOTD makes it sound like there's some funny control point business, like there's an objective to the map. Far as I can tell a

What is this place and why should I care?

Welcome friends, to Sven Co-op map reviews.     My name is GrandmasterJ and my colleague and other reviewer who is not writing this post is Dunkelschwamm.  This blog exists purely because we have zero faith that Wikidot will exist much longer and want a place to host our reviews. All maps are hosted over at the Sven Co-op Map Database, which you should already know about. It is pretty much the only place dedicated solely to hosting the maps for this wonderful mod. All our reviews are written there first and copied over to here for preservation.     If you don't know what Sven Co-op is and/or haven't been to the database take a moment to familiarize yourself. You can download Sven Co-op via Steam right here by clicking this text . You can visit the map database by clicking on this text . But if you are already familiar with those two things and are looking to avoid garbage maps in favor of the best then you have come to the right place.      Dunkel and I have a combined 400 year
