Good custom monsters, challenging, good gameplay, beautiful to look at. Not that long (medium map + smallish end map) but everything you'd expect from Kona. A fitting end to one of the most legendary Quake mapping careers of all time.

The description is gone and I can't edit it. Spurty to the rescue!

Fixed, sorry about that.

This plays like a condensed, refined version of Carved in Flesh. Visually, the maps are exquisite. Unfortunately the gameplay is, if anything, even more simplistic and linear than in Carved in Flesh. It feels like you are simply moving through a series of smallish DM-esque arenas.

It's a while since I played Carved in Flesh, so I can't directly echo Icant's comment; but having come to this direct from the same author's Ultramarine, it most certainly feels like a retreat of that level.

I don't understand why the last few rooms were in a second map rather than being part of the single map.

Having played a few levels now with Kona's modified monsters, I have very different feelings about them. The ice-skating double-tough nail ogres are no fun at all; but the tiny fiendlings and giant fiend-queens are great. The various super-tough deathknight variants, I can live with or without.

Because I played Ultramarine first and Autumn Haunting second, that map got four stars and this one only three; had I stumbled upon them the other way around, the scoring might well also have been reversed.
