So this is the kind of map that I got to like from just how it looks. The screenshots alone sold it for me and gave a good first impression. And the map has a lot going for it, it's one very large, rather non-linear level with a distinct setting and tone. The setting is great, actually, there was a lot of work put to make it feel like a real place (there are distinct building like a church, a supermarket, etc.) and it excels in this regard, and I also like the depressing tone it has.
Unfortunately, after replaying it thoroughly (I didn't give it a proper go the first time I played it years ago, and just assumed it's great throughout), it didn't really live up to expectations. It's not bad, but it's not remarkable (except for the good things I said about it above), and it has shortcomings. My main gripe is that, despite exploring seemingly everything, eventually I reached a point where I didn't know where to go, and the computer area map didn't help either. After over 1.5 hours of playing I just gave up on it.

The other complaint is music: it's too repetitive. This is bad considering you'll definitely be playing this map for at least an hour, and the music will become annoying.

As for the difficulty, can't complain. It was rather easy on ITYTD, as it should be. Tho there's a rather difficult platforming segment, at least if you aren't good at it.

One more thing: this map had FPS drops for me, even tho I played on Eternity, and it seems to be the problem with the map, not my computer.

Only 1 new Level, other look of Weapons but same shots as classic weapons, and no new monsters. Poor!

A very beautiful map, great ambiance.

 

Ammo-starvation quickly became a problem in UV early on, though - fighting pinkies and imps in the maze in the first part of the map emptied me out pretty quickly.  Needs either more ammo pickups or hit-scanners to drop ammo.  That is why the three stars.

 

Otherwise, this was a very beautiful map.

geez, I said this was one of the better things despite the lag, but I still have to dock my former rating because well, I didn't like it as much. combat of course is okay but never hits its stride, the spacing makes things easy, and the nonlinear direction is pretty splendid. the desolate feeling is of course a major plus. the whole southern section of the map honestly needs to go though, there's not enough meat to justify the mini-town there, and it took me awhile to get the red key. here's a hint, head back to the teleporter and do some roof jumping, it's a bit of a pain in the ass. the sprite replacements are okay aside from the BFG which is just weird. favorite moment was at the blue key, using the switch to raise the buildings was really cool.

Works flawlessly in Zandronum (no lag) btw. Excellent immersive level with great music that really adds to the atmosphere. 5/5. -TRRobin.

Lag even in a i3 from 2009 (Gzdoom). Doesnt work for me in Prboom 2.5.0.6, maybe my fault. Interesting but somewhat excessive. 4/5

An excellent map indeed. It's a shame some areas weren't blocked off a bit more so as to reduce view complexity. Still an easy 5/5.

Efford: 5/5. Atmosphere: 4.5/5. However, way too many attributes drop the framerate far below playability, even on my i2600K + HD6850: 1.5/5. Gameplay: too much searching, too many dead doors: 2/5. Playability: not challenging at all @ UV: 2/5. So overall: 3/5 (which does not say this map is 'average'). BTW is the music based on the fantastic unloved map?

Laggy, confusing, and the replacements are called silly (even through I liked them), but it's still an awesome and particular post-apocalyptic scenery, with fantastic atmosphere! - Katamori

Pretty overrated. The map is way too big and as such it chugs like a mother fucker and makes getting around a pain in the ass. The general layout is also confusing and unintuitive.

4/5. I'll give you credit for great atmosphere and lots of enemies to fight, but the giant map was too much. It wasn't fun spending 10 minutes working out what you had to do. I think splitting this map up into 3 levels would've been fine - the initial field, then the first part of the city, and then the second part/the end. There was no gameplay reason to have areas that you won't return to lingering around on your map - it just made it that much harder to navigate. But I had fun, and it does look nice.

It lags and stuff. Don't even need the music to bore me to quit the wad.

Visually stunning. Gameplay so-so. Took me AGES to work out how to get the yellow key ... even using an editor didn't help. There is a visual bug however, in all ports ...sectors 131 and 18 have the incorrect floor height of -128 instead of 0. Shows up as a gap in the floor, especially with mouselook. Sectors 19 and 148 have the correct floor height for the effect wanted. A small blemish on an otherwise good pwad.

Great design, style and atmosphere. Also not hard gameplay. 5/5 About "lags". Author recomeded prBoom-Plus. Not GZDoom. And map too large for prBoom. You need a good machine for GZdoom.

The map is huge and detailed to the point where the automap hardly helps to give an indication of where you are. There's a nice balance of monsters and lots of cover, but a severe lack of ammo. I found myself using the fist a lot on enemies without projectile attacks. Also, it uses a ridiculous amount of sprite objects for foliage and brought the framerate down to 35fps at some points.

      Fun, challenging set of maps that looks much better than you might expect for the time it was made. These maps will still slap you around a bit on HMP if you're not staying sharp. The author is fond of Chaingunner ambushes which keep you on your toes. I didn't find the SSG until around MAP05, which was cool, I like when its not given out too early. Pistol-starting the last two maps is pretty tough, but doable.   The map designs do a really good job of letting the player see crucial areas from different angles through progression and the layouts are really tidy overall, and feel a bit more modern than a lot of other 94/95 maps I've played. There are some really nice large-scale vistas (like the start of MAP06), nice uses of verticality and a good mixture of tight and more open combat.   Recommended!

      Spectacular visuals and engaging combat make this an absolute must play. There's a puzzle with a "Shoot the thing" answer that kind of comes out of left field and can be an easy place to get stuck if you're not on your toes, but that hardly stops the map from being a thrilling masterpiece.

      E3M9's refrain of back-tracking to a church for keys is a little tedious, and there are a few moments where things can become a frustrating key/switch hunt as you figure out what to do next, but aside from that, this an intense and rewarding adventure with beautiful lighting and architecture.
