Sewer Systematic: Toxicidia Sektor 516 - Dunkelschwamm

       This map advertises being a sewer level where players have to rescue scientists in the sewer. The architecture doesn't really evoke a sewer feeling but it looks great anyway.

It's also the name of an incredible mapset by RNG, a mapper whose content never fails to exude personality and quality. The map follows through a moody, atmospheric rustpunk world of grimy corridors into battles with gonomes, giant vortigaunts, and gargantuas. The mood is aided along the way with skillful brushwork and custom sounds.      The map is mostly broken up into chambers and corridors full of monsters who must be wiped out before the players can press corresponding buttons (requiring a team play aspect) to open the next door

I don't think I ever felt like I was in a sewer, although that is probably for the best.      This map series, like most of RNG's work, has some very interesting and impressive architecture, unique looking rooms, and tons of detail. The style and layout is heavily reminiscent of a fever dream, there was one part where a hallway ended with a window looking into a room full of scientists. There is a door behind them that opens up to reveal a turret that mows them all down. The turret then shatters the glass and the way forward

       Septic Morass is an unfinished map made by RNG, an author known for making absolutely beautiful maps. Unfortunately this one is unfinished and abandoned so we will never see what it would have become.

If it ever updates and finishes I'll happily revisit it and update my review.      RNG is a name in Sven Co-op mapping which can be closely associated with thick, grimy, moody atmospheres and high-caliber walkthrough progression. Each of RNG's maps has distinct personality that sets it apart from other maps, and Septic Morass is no different. From head to toe the map is dressed up in expert brush and model work with intense colored lighting whi

SCMapDB page Author: RNG Date of final release: 2008 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Septic Morass (originally posted on SCMapDB)  by GrandmasterJ | December 12, 2021 | 557 characters      This map is unfinished and a demo. It still looks real interesting and there are fun moments. RNG as always delivers some truly great looking level design. The atmosphere was great from start to finish. But unfortunately due to its unfinished state it ends abruptly and all too soon. Pros: Looks good plays well Cons: unfinished Score: 5.5 / 10
