5/5 Very well made, enemy placements very good, and when and where they spawen, good old id kind of map,didnt find no secrets, but wasnt looking for them, enjoying playing the map to much, on skill 3.Its a must play.

Some good work here! Nice wizard-themed vanilla-style monster mashing.

For a little while after starting it up I was thinking hmm, pretty polished look -- nice chunky proportions, good texturing -- seems like it will be linear and a little room-and-hall-ish though. But then it opened up more with weirder spaces, a smidge of multipathing, bigger rooms and fights... a good progression.

I think it's maybe a little too fond of buttons? :-) That's a minor complaint though. One other interesting thing that occurred to me was that it was a light on shotgun ammo (skill 2) but very generous with rockets and cells, which was actually kind of nice in encouraging more rampage rushes and less shotgun-plinking.

5/5 This is very nice. No sloppiness, nice design, a good play.

A solid 25mins of fun on my first playthrough. No complaints. 3/4 secrets leaves me one more to find on my next attempt.

Loved it. Nice challenges, interesting architecture.

The very beginning was a bit muddled and would have benefited from better signposting, but after five minutes of picking enemies off from afar some more close quarters fighting kicked in and the map improved from there, especially in later stages where things got a lot more interconnected.

I played on skill 2 and never really felt short of ammo or health, so perhaps a bit of balancing to do there.

I got caught off guard a couple of times by teleporting or hidden enemies but not in an annoying Doom3 sort of way, more a "Oh I should have checked that corner" way.

Aesthetically it makes good use of stock assets and there's nice variety in the lighting. The scale of the final arena could have been increased to make it feel more dramatic, but in the grand scheme of things you don't spend a hell of a lot of time there so that's a small visual gripe.

I like it.

Good work! Pacing was AMAZING, never thought I should turn back and explore more. Enemy placement was top-notch; never felt overwhelmed or like there were too many enemies in one place.

Didn't rely on gimmicks or mods to make the gameplay better, this is a 100% oldschool gameplay map.

All in all, 10/10 map.

Very solid metal map. Felt a bit too easy and secrets were plenty. Very nice!

A really nice example of old-school Quake, with some contorted but tractable progression, some combats where judgement is more important than reflexes, and different areas that are reasonably easy to tell apart. It doesn't quite get the five stars because it's low on atmosphere and on narrative logic, but it's well worth playing.

Nice map in many ways. Very polished and fun. I just wish the different skill levels had been implemented. I'm not super Quaker, but it was a tad too easy for me.

Thanks for making it available to us! I'll keep my eyes open for more.

Great map. Had a lot of fun.
