Overall rating:

If I hadn't played the first parts of this series, I'd say that this map is a good one. It's quite short, layed out well though the ambience is not overly breathtaking, and the battles are ok, too.
However, in comparison to its impressive predecessors, this part is a bit tame and disappointing. The flow and the atmosphere aren't as "tight" as in the other parts. There are some tricky battles, especially with some close combats with Knights and Revenants, but the monster placement seems a bit uninspired to me after all.
The map has three parts: it starts in a small indoor area that opens to a larger outdoor part with a castle like building in its center and the last part is a big hellish cavern.
It's not a bad map, but certainly not the masterpiece of this series.
