All enemies killed. Played on skill 3 and 1.

This is a small sized level, OK lighting for the time except for some dark parts, with lower than ID maps quality in brushwork but not too much, tree shaped layout that depends on keys to open path and gives plenty of room to go and explore each branch. Gameplay is straightforward with usually no breathers, with some unfair shambler teleports or ambushes (one with way more than enough firepower to take it down) and a demon in an unfair placement, in general placement of enemies is a bit repetitive but the variety in rooms and lenght of the map make it so it isn't boring, overall the difficulty is a bit over ID's EP4 skill 2. Placement of items is good, quantity of armour and health is a bit less than ID maps and due to the amount of ammo, if the player intends to kill all the enemies, he needs to rely on monster infighting, that due to the amount of enemies at once in many combats, isn't hard to achieve. The traps are OK and need to be played cautiously to survive them.

Given the description i expected to die several times but it was disappointing in that regard. It is hard, there are some unfair ambushes, but it isn't even close to outrageous, so i never were at low health and only died at one of the traps because i rushed. I recommend to play cautiously and save the nails for shamblers and the explosives for groups and all will go way easier. In particular, i liked the fight, brushwork and ambient after the SK door and the freedom to explore the paths for quite a long way.

For the time, i give a 3/3+.
