DIFFICULTY RATING
It’s been a while since my last review, and even longer since I reviewed a wad
for Ultimate Doom. So, without delay, here goes. This wad is not too difficult
at all at any setting. But it can be a bit of a challenge on UV. There wasn’t an
overkill of baddies, but I feel, that there was a bit too much health to go
around. The ammo mix was cool, but if there was less health, I would be more apt
to sweat bullets.

PLAYABILITY
The Hall was a very long hall! This is a considerably large map with a lot of
running back and forth to activate switches. It got a little tedious with the
switch flipping and looking for said items, but the action kinda broke up the
monotony a bit. Too much health for my taste and there was a BUNCH of Barons to
snuff! I ran from them for the most part to save ammo for anything that might be
larger, say, a CyberDemon or something, but none came, so I just found the keys,
went back, and wailed away at anything that came up to me. I had fun, all the
same.
PLAYABILITY: 8
LEVEL DESIGN
No new textures, but nice structures and lighting; very nice. I found myself
squinting to see in the dark in some parts of the map. I got tagged a couple of
times by baddies who love dark corners. There was one sector with a crushing
ceiling that needed some peg work, but nothing major in distraction. This is a
very well done traditional level.
Design: 8
OVERALL SCORE
Get this level and check it out. Good for beginners who want to cut their teeth
on editing or who want more of a challenge; fair for old salts that salsa with
ArchViles for fun and who want some thing else to do when editing gets tiresome.
Overall: 7.3
