Gave this a go. It's got some interesting ideas and the challenge level is more or less stable throughout most of it. I did like some of the combat situations and clever use of the Icon of Sin spawners in somewhat of a gauntlet style-- not something you see too often.
Level design-wise I felt this was very weak however, especially architecturally and pacing-wise. The outright recycling of areas in many maps (outright backtracking in some instances) felt lazy if I am honest. I do quite like the detailing on some areas (like the house in the first map or the outdoor outpost with the fire barrel, demons huddled around it) though it is sorely lacking in other areas altogether, especially outdoors with bland long hallways, canyons and flatlands lacking much detail.
The music was excellent and I enjoyed it very much, perhaps my favorite aspect of the mod, really.
I personally feel more variety in the maps and less recycling of areas would benefit such a project more-so and is the biggest downside to the project so far, though I did enjoy elements of the WAD nonetheless.
