I think, this wad is well known for most players. It's one of the classic megawads of the mid-ninties, and stands out because of its high monster count.
The first wads are quite normal, but they're becoming harder and harder, until even Archviles and Cyberdemons use to come in hordes. Map 23 is a very nice map, but then came map 24, and this one was too much for me. I was constantly under attack from all kinds of monsters and couldn't even find a useful way because I was always blown into the air by dozens of Archviles and dead shortly after. That's where I quit the game. But until then, it was really entertaining and not even unfair, because with all the monsters, you always got enough ammo and health goodies.
The looks are not bad either, good standard of that time.
So, if you didn't play this one yet and like to have a real challenge, you should give this a run.
