SHORT 'N QUICK 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 that can all do different things. However, there are also simpler mods called WADs that are simply maps. One of them is SHORT 'N QUICK.

To install SHORT 'N QUICK, you need to have GZDoom. Then, copy the .pk3 file into the GZDoom folder and drag it on top of the GZDoom.exe to start playing.

This map has no story, but it takes place in an infested techbase just like DOOM 2. Because it's inside a military base, it's defined mostly by hallways, but the creator did an admirable job in mixing up the scenery regardless. Some of the hallways are strategically used enough for you to somehow forget that you're walking down a linear path.

The difficulty is a bit uneven, however. Ammo usage gets extremely tight mid-level, but you'll somehow manage to end the level with far too much ammo in your pocket. However, the relatively short length and low enemy count means that even an error necessitating a full restart doesn't feel that punishing.

There are also some decisions that have tiny but noticeable changes in gameplay, such as double doors changing the dynamics of the enemy by its very existence.

Overall, SHORT 'N QUICK is an incredibly solid map that any DOOM fan should give a try.
