topic about A Night In Rocksbourg 3 - Ink & Dust
author:   Brodo Swaggins | Oct. 5, 2022, 4:13 p.m.
After a pair of promising but rough prequels, Rocksbourg really hits its stride here. Ink & Dust is just a far more coherent experience than the first two missions. Again, the author excels at pushing the engine to its limits: spectacular architecture, scripting, custom AI, and perhaps the best a...

topic about A Night in Rocksbourg 2 - Discovery
author:   Brodo Swaggins | Oct. 5, 2022, 4:11 p.m.
A more polished iteration than its prequel, but it's still got a lot of rough edges. Again, it’s too much info crammed into one mission: an undead invasion, a secret wizard sect, a mysterious “beast” we never meet, an underground crime ring, Mechanist drama, Keeper drama, Hammerite drama, and a l...

A landmark series in FM design, but one that's tough to recommend in 2022. Sound design overall is incredible. Distinctly European feel to it all, and not just because of the charmingly janky English translation. Loads of custom textures and fab architecture make every street corner worth a scree...

A no-frills Hammerite infiltration mission. Old school in the best way: as one of the earlier FMs, it is less ostentatious than more recent fare, with simple yet satisfying puzzles and a solid Hammer compound to explore. Not too big, not too small. Some drab set dressing and odd lighting choices ...

When I started this FM out, I was wondering why it had a general 7/10 rating. It seemed rather basic and wasn't even much of a stealth mission; more of a zombie fest. I'm not against zombies, but I can't deny that they're annoying to deal with, especially with all the cramped spaces in the house....

This is one of my favourite TDM missions. After the events of of Accountant 1, things have gone bad for you and you decide to embark on a pure cash grab in a nearby apartment building. Things soon take a turn for the weird... This mission looks and plays fantastically, with a feel reminisc...

"Reminiscences" shows me that "Spoonman" is a author with great potential, but seems to be comfortable not leaning into thier strenghts. The archictecture and athmosphere is great, feeling suitably "Thief" with good use of audio. I also like some of the additions such as basic dynamic character s...

Tasked with investigating the mysterious disappearance of a local doctor, you have to make your way into an allegedly haunted house. Though a very small mission, it manages to be give an air of eerieness, sadness, and tension that other maps fail to achieve. The story is solid, the puzzles just ...

Misja przeciętna, ale że solidna w swej przeciętności i to debiutancka, to daję ocenę 4/6. Zawiera wszystko to, co powinna, a nawet nieco coś "ponad" pod postacią sekretów i kilku skryptów. Obszar gry dość zróżnicowany i chyba nawet wyczerpujący. Równocześnie niczym nie zaskakuje. Ot typowe: ucie...

Do FMki można podejść biorąc pod uwagę upływ czasu albo nie. Jeżeli go zignorujemy, to będziemy mieli bardzo miłą FMkę z kapitalną oprawą i gęstym, mrocznym klimatem, idealnie zainspirowanym oryginalną grą. Szczególnie zachwyca balans ciemności... choć czasem może aż za wyrazistej, niemniej robią...

Very difficult on expert if played ironman, took me 5+ tries blackjacking every guard inside. Ghosting this ironman on first try would be unreasonable. The mansion itself is small and tight where you are constantly "pushed" into uncleared rooms with no ability or time to figure out what you're...

You wake up at the bottom of a large crypt complex after a heavy night of drinking and have to find your way out. Completed in just four days as a Halloween speed-build contest entry, this map achieves its fairly large size by being a bunch of copies of the same room repeated numerous times. O...

Awaiting the Storm is a small map from the early days of TDM in which you have to infiltrate a tavern and steal a unique piece of loot. It's a simple setup but it works effectively, from the approach through the City streets to exploring the interior of the tavern itself. It's small enough not to...

Curse of the Ancients is old classic tomb-raiding affair, in which you should "acquire" some old relics from another underground complex with Lost City aesthetics - while fighting (or avoiding) lots of undead and solving puzzles. What is different is that you start in haunted city section (in whi...
