This is an impressively large and complex level, with hundreds of baddies and lots of action. It's one of those epics where you wander about aimlessly a lot, shooting things, but it's entertaining. Against it, I hated the inescapable drops - the level is supposed to hang in a void, but it doesn't look right when you fall. And the wide open spaces meant that I kept being killed by crossfire from the other side of the map; you have to dodge behind cover and wait for thirty seconds all the time.	x
The level consists of 8 or 9 platforms you can reach either via jumping or by using a teleport hall. Layout is great. Gameplay is ok but it could have been great if a better monster mix had been used. (ex an archvile on the smallest platform). coldfusio	x
WTF?!? This wad is full of huge halls of mirror bugs! No stars for this turd!	x
^ you are correct. The bases of floating pillars appear as huge visual bugs in latest ZDoom. Gray Lancer has to fix that. 1/5	x

Update to               :

Advanced engine needed  : Some enhanced source port with no 2-sided line limit and no sprite limit. Legacy and ZDoom work the best for me.

Primary purpose         : Single+Coop play

Description            : (This is the sequel level to "Sacrifice in Blood")

On a far away colony world, a temple was discovered which marked the border between our reality and another, far more sinister dimension. We like to call that dimension "Hell." This temple, which was known as the "Temple of Water", was clean and pure, holding the evil in check. UAC sent marines and soldiers to guard it, restoring the old temple amd living there like the monks who had originally lived there until they were all wiped out.

The marines there sent out a call for help, the com went silent, and you got sent in to spy around. As soon as you hit the grounds, you were being attacked from all sides by something you wished you'd seen the last of five years ago back on Earth.

You managed, just barely, to get through the hellspawn to the inner sanctum of the temple, which contained not only a very large, very angry demon but also a strange portal. You stepped into the portal and suddenly were torn into another place... a place you can only assume is a different dimension.

You managed to find some info in the libraries while you were wading through demons to get through the temple. You found out that the monks had been led by a priest who had found a certain portal to a certain alternate dimension where he spent a lot of his time. But the priest had become corrupted by the power of that alternate dimension, and attempts to bring him out were less than successful. You didn't catch much more... after all, it was all you could skim from the scientist's notes while you were blowing away demons.

But this new place is littered with the bodies of the dead, along with a suprising amount of ammunition... it seems like the UAC soldiers tried to mount a little assault on this place... and it looks like they failed. You're already this far, you might as well keep going.

At least you've got enough bullets this time.
