Fantastic. The care that went into the combat is obvious.

I really enjoyed this on skill 2. The combats were appropriately difficult and the ending was a real hoot! Loads of fun throughout.

Great job with everything here, and thank you for sharing with us! I look forward to this mapper's next offering.

Hm. Spoot seems to have a very different idea of "not unfair" than me.... ;)

Clearly the fights have first priority here, but the architecture isn't bad either. Competent brush- and texture work, and quite a few touches of the old 'ID' style. In all ways a quite respectable map.

This has been quite a joy. Thanks for sharing!

While combat encounters were clearly the high point in this map (well-thought, ambushy and often brutal), i liked also the overall layout - with center hub and emerging stairs. The cutscenes from the main room (showing "progress" of unlocking stairs) give player a sense of "knowing what to do", way better than by text messages.

The final fight was particularly hard - IMHO due to too many "instant hit" monsters (LG enforcers + rapid laser enforcers + LG from shamblers). Even if you stay on the move - you'll get inescapable hit after hit, only way to survive is to dispatch these buggers as soon as they spawn.

Anyway - for me it's a 5, purely because i had lots of fun with it, even despite dying like 20 times along the way :) It has a classic ID runic appeal and simply delivers.

I'm always excited to play Spootnik's maps, especially because they use progs_dump REALLY well. As otheres have said the ending is a challenge but the whole center hub section and pacing of the encounters are really something special. GG!

A fun map.
