Players could now jump off of ledges and aim at all angles with the sort of grace that just wasn’t possible previously.

Indeed, this evolved level design found its way into Quake’s excellent split-screen and online multiplayer mode too, where tight corridors, chambers rich with verticality and cunning traps all combined to make Quake’s deathmatch feel like a furiously visceral dervish interlaced with a level of skill like nothing I had ever played before.Īnother boon of Quake’s more complex level design and full 3D graphics engine was that combat felt much more satisfyingly kinetic than anything else.
Timeless Level Design That Defined A Genreĭevelopers id Software knew just what to do with the much more powerful toolset at their disposal too – fashioning fiendishly creative levels stuffed full of secrets and traps in a way that DOOM could only dream of. Much more than just a generational leap in geometric complexity, texture detail and lighting, Quake’s embrace of a fully 3D game engine allows players to explore every level completely, as the newfound ability to completely look up and down feels immensely freeing after the head-locked shenanigans of DOOM, while the more sophisticated game engine also allows for far more complex level design to boot. Arguably the biggest change that Quake brings over DOOM is the graphics engine.
