Overall rating:

These are two maps which are both quite challenging.
The first one is rather short. As soon as the game begins, you're under several chaingunners' attack. The rest is quickly done, the more as you don't need to kill all monsters.
The second map is more intense. It's very dark, but looking cool with its nice lighting effects. It has a really claustrophobic atmosphere and will hardly give you a break. The Hellknight is the hardest monster, but due to the cramped and dark ambience, it's a good challenge nontheless. Several tricky secrets, a simple but clever layout and some nasty traps make this map a nice trip.
