Goblin_Grease created a new topic about 3 Distinct Adventures,
2 steps forward , 4 leaps back:
Cardia is an interesting author , his architecture ideas are very unique ,but always his missions have that something to REALLY annoy or even piss off the player.These 3 missions are no exception.

The first mission drops us into the thick of it - a space ship full of baddies for us to kill.Visuals are amazing, but 90% of the level is combat.

Second mission takes us to an alien planet and a temple full of well designed puzzles. Not a lot of people use oriental themes and this makes th..., March 9, 2023, 7:17 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about Anna to the Rescue,
Flawed Quake 1 inspired mission:
As Anna,the agent of the New Mechanist order we have to deal with some filthy pagans and rescue a kid.
The mission is bland and uninspired at the start , but as soon as you go underground the mission blossoms into one of the most unique looking missions you'll ever play.

The Quake 1 inspiration is obvious from the look and feel of the place - gothic with a strong hint of satanic.The great choice of background music elevates this mission from good to amazing .There are however problems, ..., Dec. 30, 2022, 7:11 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about 4th Planet,
Short pretty movie homage:
Very nice vistas and general feel of the entire mission , any sneaking you have to do is trivial., Dec. 29, 2022, 8:04 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about The Tower in the Forest,
Rough on looks , solid on gameplay.:
It shows that this is the author's first mission , the lower floors of the tower are downright ugly in some spots , but as you ascend things get somewhat better.This mission is not about looks however , some AI placement is just mean most of the floors are loud or will just kill you.There are a few areas in which your navigational skills will be put to the ultimate test (Valley Of Despair).

If you want a challenge this is a great mission., Dec. 28, 2022, 7:43 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about Ganbatte Thief-San,
A unique challenge:
Very unique mission where you choose one of three modes :Hunt ,Chase or Race. You're then dropped in a large obstacle course where you have to compete.
Hunt - a hologram of an item is displayed , you have to find the item and bring it back and drop it into a chute to score a point.
Chase - a cannon fires a ball to a random location , you have to find the ball .
Race - try to outrun an AI through the obstacle course., Dec. 28, 2022, 11:03 a.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about Unknown Danger,
Stumbling in pitch darkness:
A mission in which even maxed out gamma will not help you.It is not an enjoyable experience to save - explore using up flares and then reloading when you've wasted them all and repeating the process until you find your path.
Multiple readables can be frobbed but have no text., Dec. 25, 2022, 5:50 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about Bad Hangover,
A fun challange:
Deserved winner of the contest.
The South Quarter of the City from TDS in Thief 2 and now infested with undead , whats not to like.The amount of undead is impressive (around 110) and really conveys a true feeling of zombie infestation.A few items needed to progress can be a bit too easy to miss and get you stuck , but that's what walkthroughs are for.Story is ok.

Overall great fun and a true challenge especially at the start when you have to mainly sneak past the hordes., Dec. 22, 2022, 9:27 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about Pestis Cruenta,
Dull and uninspired:
Child of Karras (Johannes Berthold) ported the South Quarter part from TDS and both Haplo and Brethren used it as a base for their missions for the Thief Reloaded Contest 2.

There are few changes from the Child of Karras version , puzzles for main objectives thankfully can be easily solved , those for optional objectives are point and click adventure game type of obscure (to get a locket out of a wax mold you have to find an empty bucket , place it on a stool in a tiny side area and sm..., Dec. 21, 2022, 10:07 a.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about The Overlord's Ending,
Unique but very buggy:
Play as either a watchman trying to arrest Donal and Reuben or a thug defending his guild from the watch.Interesting concept - the mission is a slightly expanded version of the Downwind thieves guild OM, there is a lot of custom VO (a lot of it not that good).The watchman part can be finished , the thug part is so buggy that it can't be finished.Objectives reset and sometimes finishing one is counted as failing the mission , AI that you have to protect will get stuck ,refuse to move or simpl..., Dec. 21, 2022, 7:02 a.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about M.S. Gold - Rust,
Flawed spooky ship adventure:
The idea certainly is good - unarmed Garrett investigates a spooky ship full of undead, but the execution could have been better , the ship is too bland looking., Dec. 12, 2022, 8:50 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about The Mirror,
Good ideas held back by bad design:
The story is interesting - what happens to people when the mirror is invented in a world where even water does not reflect light.There are some neat tricks the mission plays on the player to catch them off guard.But all of this is overshadowed by the fact that there are few hints where the player should go and what they should do , to make things even worse some things needed to progress are hidden in REALLY hard to find spots and there are NO hints pointing you towards them.There are also ..., Nov. 29, 2022, 9:10 a.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about A Job Well Done,
Thieves highway done right:
You don't need fancy textures or effects to make a great mission just great level design and this mission proves that.The story is simple and gets the job done , the level design is amazing - you'll be going from roof to roof through peoples apartments , basements,houses etc.The feel of the City is great.

A top cozy mission, Nov. 16, 2022, 9:02 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about Better off Dead,
Highly polished and rather easy.:
A typical Sensut mini adventure - looks are great and are achieved with effective use of mostly stock assets , story is well presented , interesting and tied to the original games , secrets are well hidden and symbols are added near them to spare players from combing the entire level.

As with almost all of Sensut's missions the player is way too over equipped and the missions are made way too easy by that.

A must play for any taffer., Nov. 15, 2022, 7:53 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about A Sorrowful Farewell,
Uninspired:
A by the book fm - a few puzzles (not too difficult and not too easy) , overall simple architecture with a few more detailed sections here and there.The story is an afterthought used to steer the player through the level.

In typical Haplo fashion if you've snuck past most enemies by the end of the mission you'll have to deal with crowds of enemies., Nov. 14, 2022, 9:02 a.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about What've You Found Little Fly?,
90s adventure game in spirit.:
Xorak has made a mission that looks great and has a intriguing story and given it the gameplay of a 90s adventure game, your inventory will be full to the brim with all sorts of items that you'll desperately will use on anything you find to solve the many puzzles the mission offers, expect A LOT of running back and forth.While I respect the idea to try something different and the skill needed to make such a mission running around trying to find use for some item is not fun.

If you lik..., April 26, 2022, 9:28 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about Reunion With Basso,
Hidden gem.:
I'm surprised how most people have not played this mini campaign.Every mission is full of excellent use of dialog and scripted events, while the first mission is a bit barebones in terms of architecture the later missions more than make up for it.Play this great mission or you'll be missing out., April 20, 2022, 10:31 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about Finals at the Academy,
Ambitious and difficult .:
It's Garrett's graduation day at the Keeper Academy , what could go wrong ? A lot :)

The first part of the mission perfectly catches the aesthetic of the Keeper's from Thief 1, the academy is full of marble floors and not that well lit corridors and rooms offering any true master of stealth a challenge. The layout is good and the player will have difficulty getting lost (made even harder by the fact that there is a map and an automap).The sense of this being a Keeper building is built u..., April 12, 2022, 9:23 p.m.

Goblin_Grease created a new topic about The Beginning of Era Karath-Din,
Pretty to look at , not that fun to play:
Weird mission , the entire first half of the mission is the player looking for keys in a very beautiful Lost City style town, since all AIs are friendly there is nothing to do but explore,what's interesting is the amount of very well crafted places that serve no purpose than to look good.In the second part of the mission the mission the keyhunt ramps up ,but at least there is something to sneak past.

If you have an hour to lose do play this mission., March 24, 2022, 9:19 p.m.
