Tested in zDoom.
Works in PrBoom+
Gameplay: 9/10
This map was designed to kill,
heh. With a few tough spots and a good amount of "tricks and traps," as well as
a generally forgiving amount of health, this map is extremely fun to play
through. Oh, and the ending was epic! (and will have you questioning things you
never thought you'd question)
Level
design: 9/10
This level starts off with
multiple paths, giving it a nonlinear feel. It also features tons of "3D"
floors. I got stuck in a pool of blood, which kinda sucks, heh, but aside from
that everything in this map works, even in PrBoom+! :D Lotta really trippy
scenery, like the yellow key sitting in a doorway. Some things are not what they
seem, too.
Thing
Placement: 9/10
I really liked how things were
placed in this map. Each monster served a purpose and there was a good variety
on the styles of encounters. Health and ammo were plentiful, though I would have
liked to see a few more rockets throughout and stimpacks in the couple of areas
that were damage-heavy, like the one with the things that were not as they
appeared.
Aesthetics: 10/10
Aesthetics are the real area
that this map shines, assuming 9's everywhere else isn't also shining. I love
the way this map looks; it captures another dimension very well and has many
areas that will stick in your memory.
Over-All: 9/10
If you haven't taken the time
to play this map yet, then you are really missing out on something great. Coming
in at just over 100 monsters and roughly 10-15 minutes to go through, this one
is perfect for every Doom'er!
