Hm, where to begin... This appears to be the first level set made by this guy. It is a 22-level Partial Conversion sporting a few new graphics, which are fairly well-done, though not entirely fitting to the rest of the levels.

The levels themselves are OK. If I was judging this on proper usage of textures and amount of detail, I don't think I'd even take the time to review it. Aside from a few cool-looking scenes, most of the levels were very, very sloppy with all kinds of mismatched and messed up textures, even some HOMs (a massive one in the skies of MAP16, the floating building.) I don't think there was a single offsetted texture in this wad.

However, the layouts weren't always too bad, and there were some cool ideas used on some of the later maps. The main reason I made it through all of the levels was because, although they weren't much to look at, they were actually quite fun. The item placement is not so great (ex: lots of soulspheres instead of medikits) but it's enough to keep you going.

As a template, these maps could really go places, but as they are now, I am not going to recommend a download unless you are really bored.

Overall: 3.5/10
