The gameplay is, for the most part, very good.

However, although the WAD often bears at least a slight visual resemblance to these two games ( as well as to the original “System Shock”), it’s also very much it’s own thing at the same time. The best way to describe this WAD is probably ” ‘Wolfenstein 3D’ meets ‘Rise Of The Triad: Dark War’ “.

In “Project Einherjar” she has to break into a fascist-controlled base in order to stop the evil scientific experiments performed by the nefarious Dr.Gaul. You play as a character called Juno who lives in a dystopian icy wasteland called Midgard. Interestingly, this WAD was actually made by the creator of “ Nerves of Steel“, “ Derceto” and “ Strange Aeons” as a way of promoting an e-book that he’s written called “The Helios Legacy”.Īlthough I haven’t read the book, the story of this WAD seems to imply that it takes place before the events of the novel. “Project Einherjar” is a seven-level WAD for “Doom II” and/or “Final Doom” that includes new music, textures, voice-acting, weapons, items and enemies. However, you will require a port that allows jumping, crouching, custom weapons etc…Īnyway, let’s take a look at “Project Einherjar: Likewise, I used the “ZDoom” source port whilst playing this WAD, and I guess that it will probably work on many other modern source ports. Since the WAD is still technically a beta, this is why I have called this article a “mini review”, despite it’s length. It’s possible that a newer version of this WAD may be available when this review goes out.

Since I write these reviews quite far in advance, the version of this WAD that I played seems to be a public beta version (version 1.3, although the file name for the WAD seems to suggest that it’s actually version two). Well, after seeing about the first twenty minutes of this “let’s play” video/ video review last autumn, I thought that I’d check out a WAD called “ Project Einherjar” that I’d heard of before but hadn’t got round to playing.
