Map created by
Bwc66930 (Apex). I know it's been released for a while, but a non-humorous review doesn't yet exist for this map, so I thought “hey, why not?”

You must worship the
Purple SquareTM.
This is probably the most unique map I've ever played, for obvious reasons, and I honestly quite like it. If you thought
this was too purple and BWC-esque, just you wait until Purple Base. What I like about Purple Dimension is that it doesn't take itself too seriously, and it captures what zombie mode should be about – a fun time for yourself or with friends.
I'm also a fan of maps that make you say “what the
fuck is going on,” simply because it's funny. I imagine the mapper got quite a kick out of the YouTube players saying that.
PROS:- There's so much custom content here; weapons, models, effects, skybox, textures, everything! There's very little of anything stock besides perks, and it's all used well. I also really like all the random scenery in the sky, and the crazy clouds and snow effect, it really adds to the craziness.
- Detail is good. Some may disagree with this, but it's not an average map which can be compared to another for the purpose of a review. For the theme the mapper is going for, the detail fits. It feels like you're inside BWC's head (whether this is a positive or not is up to you, lol).
- The map is funny. In my opinion, a sense of humour is sometimes needed when making maps. There's very little harm done when including a joke in the easter egg, or making the perk posters funny. For most maps this isn't needed, and is sometimes detrimental, but I always appreciate a little humour from content creators.
CONS:- It feels linear, since there's only a few short diversions to take from the main route, and the entire tower and upper area doesn't have much use other than somewhere to put stuff.
- The EE/objective is fairly small. 3 parts to build, then 85k points and you're done. Getting 85k took a while, but it was otherwise unchallenging since the weapons are seriously OP, which is deliberate but still relevant. The map is fun, but I had hoped for more tasks.
MISC:- The epilepsy maze is funny, but it hurts my eyes...
CONCLUSION:Purple Dimension is a good map, and if you haven't already downloaded it, you should do so. I'm looking forward to Purple Base, but I'd really like to see more in-depth objectives included next time, to give players more reason to return to the map.
