Overall rating:

Playing this map takes some patience and good will because of several enervations in gameplay.

"Sands of Death" refers to the main area, a big black sand field which causes damage. You're only safe in the shadows of the buildings. However, guessing, which building is open at the moment, is hard and you'll find yourself dying on your way to the right building several times.

Apart from this, the map is interesting enough. Some nice texturing ideas and some tight fights in the buildings make this wad worth a look.
