Anonymous	OK Plutonia wad but nothing special. Good for a quick play and not much more. The ammo placement doesn't quite feel right. 3 stars. -TRRobin.	x
Anonymous	I thought this was a pretty decent map. It was huge, lots of monsters to kick ass, and there are a few switch puzzles thrown in. The switch puzzles were a bit distracting though. Over all, decent wad. 3/5.-Candle M	x
Anonymous	Nice to see another Plutonia pwad. Quite enjoyable to play. Line 4626 has an unnecessary texture BIGDOOR5, which causes a render error in Risen3D.	x
Anonymous	I really like Plutonia but this is only ok. 3/5	x
Anonymous	not really good but somehow entertaining 2.5/5	x
Anonymous	Not bad. There were some bugs, some misaligned textures, and a bunch of illogical/annoying switch puzzles...but barring that, this was fun. I liked your use of Plutonia textures, as well as the progression of the level. BTW, it didn't look like how I thought Salamandastron would look, but w/e. :) 3/5	x

General Description     : This is the oldest surviving map that I still have.  Gameplay is actually
			is actually pretty decent, I suppose.  Anyways, originally this map was
			supposed to be part of a small set of maps that I had been working on right
			after I really started to learn how to use Doom Builder.  I think I had
			3 or 4 other maps completed, and this was the last one that I was able to
			finish before I took a small break from mapping.  Anyways, needless to say
			you can tell its a beginner map.  Up to this point I taught myself everything
			by just fiddling around with Doom Builder; I didn't have any exposure to 
			any other custom made maps or wads until a few months later.

The general setting for this map is a fortress nestled in a mountainous
			environment.  You start out in a cave and you must try to find a way inside
			the castle to kill all of the badies inside and exit.  Pretty straightforward.
			Gameplay is semi-linear, so if you hate linear maps...well, you might like
			this.
