Sunlust 1.0

DOOM is one of the oldest FPSes in existence, and its engine is famously so robust that it can run on pretty much anything and also create pretty much anything.  From FPSes to RPGs to companions to a city living game, it has a ton of different mods and maps that can all do different things. There are even full campaigns created called megawads. One of many is Sunlust.

To install Sunlust, you need to have ZDoom and move the WAD file into the GZDoom folder, which is pretty par for the course for DOOM maps.

There is no story to be had, save for some text in an embedded file. The only motivation you need is that there are legions of hell in your way, and they're taking over. Again.

The maps are absolutely gorgeous. They are easily some of the best, and debatable the best looking maps in DOOM maps. There is a ton of detail with dynamic lights and lighting gradients which, coupled with the brilliant color combinations and amazing architecture, makes this genuinely jaw dropping.

The design of the maps are also near flawless - the early levels ease the player into the slaughter gameplay that dominates the back half and the maps are all generally small scale. However, this lends itself well to dynamic encounters to the forefront, and each battle feels unique instead of a slog.

All in all, Sunlust is a genuine triumph in DOOM map design and all fans of the game should definitely give this one a shot.
