This is a small puzzle / Arch-Vile jump style map, the map itself is not bad at all, with some interesting design choices, especially at the circular towers, and the puzzle trickery is not bad. The bad section is the lower platforms that keep goes up and down and uses the vanilla stock slow usage, maybe in a different way it will be better.

Only start is good, you need to think how to get out. My first though was that this is proto-Terry trap, but you can escape. But then, this map turns into crap. Annoying lifts and switches part, and than kinda ok fight in pillar room.

Absoloute crap! Makes no sense and has no exit! An Archvile, a Mesasphere and you all in the same tiny room with a Super Shotgun and a bazillion shells outside the window and no way to get back up to the platforms if you fall off. Don't waste your time with this!

Some interesting ideas, but somehow not all that satisfying.

This is dated May 1995. It's a puzzly level that doesn't really work. At the start you have to be blown out of a room by an archvile onto a platform outside, and then there are lots of switches and lifts which are fiddly and unentertaining, and you can get stuck. It builds up to a final battle that's decent but needed all the monsters to attack you at once; the ending is an anti-climax. The level had ideas (the opening is clever) but they mostly weren't good ones.

      Really good puzzle map in a big dark metal/stone building. It catches the atmosphere of Bob Evans' Eternal Doom stuff, and I think there are even some homages to some other Eternal Doom maps as well (for example, the big two-layered outdoor area looks a bit like the "amusement park" in MAP26).   In my experience the puzzles were a bit easier than in "Silures" or "Excalibur", but it's possible that having played a lot of puzzle map stuff since I played Eternal Doom, having played through the whole canon of Bob Evans and Jim Flynn, and liking to search for Doom secrets in every map has made me recognize certain tropes better. The puzzles I liked most were (the spoilers only give minor hints):
          Gameplay is good too, at the start ammo is scarce so the chainsaw and berserk are your friend, and midtiers say hello from the start on, but hitscanners are the biggest threat. Rockets should be saved for archviles until you find the first larger cache.   9,5/10

      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.
