Genius!
This map is awesome!
You find yourself on a dark spaceport. The sky, the lighting, the texturing... it's mind-blowing. The whole map has a really claustrophobic feel, due to the darkness.
The gameplay is not too tough, at least on skill 3. But who cares for the monsters if everything around you is glowing, flashing and pulsating?
This galactic map cast a spell over me from the first second and I only regret that I couldn't find all secrets and that it's only one map. I definitely want to have more of this.
I'll go and find more wads of Roger now.
