Immensely replayable. One of the best user-created single levels of Heretic on this site. Great use of every monster, weapon, texture and feel/themes of Heretic.

Very good user-created wad, especially for its time. Works perfectly in ZDoom. Some rooms are just a bit too squarish and under-detailed, but no less detailed than the original Heretic was. Perfect amount of ammo and items to monster ratio. The exit and level progression isn't obvious, which is a plus. One problem is unmarked doors.

Once upon a time, this was one of the first maps I downloaded and played from here. I thought it was amazing then. Now, I see how it's flawed: never really enough monsters in one place to make death seem imminent. I played the "cliffs" area first, so I got the Phoenix Rod early, which should have been replaced with the Mace anyway because there is not a single boss enemy.

Shockingly amazing from this author. Perhaps the only good thing he's ever produced! This is very hard though, and you need to conserve every little bit of your ammo.

Wow! What a load of sh*t! Truly atrocious in every which way imaginable.

WOW - how the original 3rd episode SHOULD have been. Lots of new graphics (only the Doom textures truly look out of place) and riddled with lots of high-powered enemies, yet never becomes a super-powered joke. Re: 4 D'Sparils - knock one off of his Serpent, and then just attack that one until everything else dies.

Decent level, but overall the entire map/level is just too squarish/rectangular . The Dragon Claw is obtained far too late in the game, and the Phoenix Rod far too early. I love the Mace as a weapon, so I'm happy that there is plenty of ammo for it in this level.

Very beautifully done, but the gameplay is a bit weird. Once you finish the Maulotaur boss fight, you need to go look for that one last switch to open the exit. Surprised that only three weapons made the cut (XBow, Dragonclaw and Phoenixrod) for a boss level, and the central area is a bit overdetailed.

Clearly this guy's first ever map. A lot of mapping no-no's in here, such as unobvious doors to progress, and a wall you can simply activate early on to exit. Too much symmetrical rooms, and a complete misunderstanding of secret areas.

As always, a ridiculously overpowered level from this guy. Just enough ammo (I had to use the tome cheat many times though to up the ante) but a severe lack of health. It's a pity because this guy's levels are very pretty to look at.

Decent level design, but far too many pickups, and this guy has a clear love affair for the Undead Warriors, and the Ghost Undead Warriors. It has my pet hate of Heretic-idiot-mapper s in this though: water that hurts. There is also nothing remotely grave-like about the level. Good for time wasting only.

5053 monsters on UV setting, all Gargoyles. Bucket-loads of ammo, all weapons but sometimes the Mace doesn't appear. I've spent a whole lot worse ways killing time than playing this. It's scraping the bottom of the creativity barrel, but still heapso' fun!

You start in an outdoor area with nothing but your Elven Wand and... D'SPARIL! 'nuff said!
