[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------

  Large  level,  a fortress, like  the  name  says it.  A very  well
constructed level, many stairs and small hallways. Very well thought
through, excellent  combination of windows,  steps, doors etc.  Well
placed keys too.  Teleporters and  lifts are  well done.  Good light
usage, but nothing special. Nice secrets. A bit slow.

[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------

  The whole level is in brick and brown stone style, looks very nice
and almost every texture is aligned.

[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------

  No HOMs,  Medusa effects  or Tutti-Frutties.  However, I noticed a
strange thing, I think it's caused by a missing texture, but I'm not
sure...

[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  Enough monsters, especially the beginning is very hard, after that
you will get some weapons. All kind of enemies were used, except the
Spider Mastermind  and the  End Thing of Doom 2.  You have to kill a
Cyberdemon - in a few kinda small hallways - very challenging. Watch
out after getting  the blue key;  an Arch-Vile  will see  the (dead)
Cyberdemon!

[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------

  Could be  more of them,  although the  level is slow enough.  Good
amount of health and ammo - however, the beginning is a bit too hard
I think.

[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  90%

  Worth downloading. Excellent level, hard and well designed.
