Plutonia: Revisited Community Project is a successful attempt to carry on the legacy of The Plutonia Experiment, delving deep into its gameplay and considerably increasing the size of the game. Thomas Van der Velden should be praised for designing another MAP30 with an Icon of Sin, even though I did not like the Beholder appearance and the Cyberdemons placed everywhere. Mechadon’s MAP29: Atlatl was a worthy conclusion, a large exploratory adventure in a temple entangled in vines and soaked in blood. MAP 26: Poison Ivy III had more monsters than ammo to vanquish them, but was quite fun on continuous play, while MAP28: Dance with the Devil was a sort of parody of Plutonian gameplay, with the ridiculous amount of consecutive monster closets. WH-Wilou84 pleased me quite a bit with MAP 23: Necrogenesis and Xaser’s second contribution MAP 25: Wicked Garden was much more bearable than the first, while still holding the visual grandeur and strong atmosphere. Luckily, the explicit homages in MAP 20: Sinister Daybreak and MAP 22: Suicide Mission made me feel at home again.

So long, so cryptic, full of damaging floors, it almost made me give up everything. Things did not improve very much after that while I liked evocalvin’s entries, except the unneeded Arch-Vile gauntlet at the end of MAP 18: Phantom Silence, I was totally crushed by MAP 19: Venom. It left me so exhausted that I reluctantly played MAP31: Cyberdemon Vertigo, then decided to skip MAP32: Have It with its 786 monsters crammed into claustrophobic caves. A truly magnificent map with lots of paths to explore, compelling areas, polished visuals, and astounding secrets, it was just unbearable at the heart of a megaWAD that had already been overstretched and grueling at times. After a positive trio of enjoyable maps, Xaser’s magnum opus MAP15: Enigma Helix weighed heavy like lead. Darkwave0000’s MAP11: Will you be my NME? expanded the concept of a map heavy on Arch-Viles, but it turned out to be boring with its huge size and one-way paths, full of faraway Chaingunners. If I liked Joshy’s reimagining on MAP07: Caughtisle, MAP03: Escape from Ghost Town and MAP04: Emerald Pools had unfair setups that are likely to discourage a player that does not tolerate certain types of harassment. Quotes abounded everywhere, so I bet that most entries were mapped for a specific slot. Ammo scarcity was an issue in some maps I could not figure out how a pistol starting UV-Maxer could destroy all those HPs, unless Tyson was the intended way.Īs opposed to Plutonia 2, my favourite maps of PRCP were in the last third of the megaWAD. I played the easy way, continuous with saves, and I found several setups that gave me a hard time, as a proof that there was generally better encounter design here than in Plutonia 2. The size of the maps varied through the megaWAD, so the IWAD feel that the levels became larger towards the end was not replicated. I remember quite a bit of shocks in the first 20 maps, while the last third did not feel like the challenge was ramping up.
Plutonia is notably missing a difficulty progression, and the PRCP is similar in that regard. What felt wrong to me was the haphazard variation in level length and challenge, with overly ambitious maps placed side by side with more reasonable entries, attempting faithful homages that did not detach themselves enough from the original maps. The authors indulged into the same pleasures of the Casalis when they designed their maps, and the gameplay was always interesting and peppered. The right things are the visuals, improving upon the original Plutonia and achieving good sense of place on several occasions, and the sadistic tone of the ambushes, with blatant abuse of Chaingunners, Revenants and Arch-Viles all through the way. Among the various efforts wanting to build upon PLUTONIA.WAD and expand the style initiated by Dario and milo Casali, this community project gets half things right and half things wrong, but it is consistently fun to play and with simpler progression if compared to its 2008 counterpart, hence the 4 stars.
I played PRCP the month after Plutonia 2 and following DWMC playthrough of Cydonia.
