Review:
This map brings the atmosphere of Blood right at the start. Some woods with gates and a nicely structured castle with matched trees that use a dark pal. It really brings the sense of what the game Blood is for me.
The structures and architecture are prominently strong paying attention to some small details but the main focus points have more detail. The castle exterior is a great example of good structure. The interior has a few focal points connected by dark corridors that could probably use a just few more details but the structure was there and built solid enough. There's also another exterior area that the mapper did some nice rugged looking caves and waterfalls. Shading and lighting seem to be there for the most part but its really there when it needs to be.
The gameplay of this map is where it really shines the layout is really well connected. The interior castle has a main hall at the entrance with a nice stairwell complimenting it. From here you can access all the corridors just about. You will pass through the main hall a few times as you collect the keys and progress. It leads itself on and doesn't cause much confusion on where you need to go.
The enemy placement is very well balanced and still presents an original type of difficulty. There is also a few different type of enemies used here. And they're placed in a nice 'lived in' manner that gives the map a presence of monsters. Ammo seems to be tight for the most part but there's enough to beat it. If you come across secrets you can get stacked on ammo at times. Health is placed very well you must try to protect yourself and use health when needed. There's a life seed in one of the rooms that really helps and seals the health up. But if you look a little extra you will find even more and even medkits.
One thing I could say negative about this map is maybe the scale is just a size to big in the corridors. Overall the scale is great for what it is, it really doesn't feel too over sized as its a mansion/castle and its very believable. A positive note I can leave is mentioning there's an area of the map that is really trippy with moving walls and scary sounds. There's no monsters in this hall but that makes it even more eerie.
