This fantastic mod may look a little dated by now, but it's right up there with the best of them ! The secrets are all very good too, and I think this is the first pack where you get a rune if you find them all. The second map is fantastic and the end battle is one of the best I've seen in Quake. I've played this quite a few times but I'm always amazed by it's quality. And that for a 1997 release. Really, you must get this !

Yeah I agree, perhaps not quite as good as Insomnia (but it's older), but nonetheless it's another example of why a smaller mini-episode can become just as appealing as a large, quality mission pack.

Oh and I forgot to mention that if it wasn't for Zerstorer, this would EASILY be the best free release of 1997 (tie this with mexx10 though).

This was a blast! Awesome episode! 5/5

First custom maps that I've seen that really make excellent use of Mispack 1's entities. Very reminescent of Ancient Realms and reminds me a little of my all time Quake favorite, the Black Cathedral. Awesome! The end boss fight room could have looked better though.

Excellent work. Final boss fight was awesome!

Want a laugh? Look at this screenshot and then check the screenshot for Marcher Fortress. Same idea with a few things done differently. ;)

Evidently the odd one out here, but I found this episode decidedly underwhelming.

Not that it's bad, but I just found it very plain and forgettable -- especially compared to such impressive episodes/map packs from the same year as Beyond Belief, Prodigy SE and Zerstörer. I found the author's next mini-episode, The Cassandra Calamity (mexx10), to be streets ahead of this.

Really nice levels (considering its early release in 1997), presented with a surprisingly good storyline which really adds to the dark atmosphere. Even standard monsters like an Ogre or Shamblers can turn into special (mini) bosses occasionally, so watch out!

Well, it is one of the simplest access to Nightmare difficulty level I've ever find :D

I'd forgotten how good this one is -- several memorable set-pieces (especially getting the silver key on the last map!) and lots of enjoyably over-the-top horde battles. Last of all, Probably my favourite boss-fight in any level I can recall. (I played on Hard, and thought it was judged just about perfectly.)
