Anonymous	Large, chaotic level. No leitmotiv, just a bunch of scenes. Mostly simple layout is often confusing, texture use is spare with a lot of misalignments. Ambiance feels quite amateurish. Played @ UV; monster placement is on places too poor. Can be completed with almost half of the map unexplored; btw does have 2 exits. Most secrets are easy. I indeed got stuck in the cross. Overall despite the effort: meh. IHMO author might benefit from using beta testers.	x
Anonymous	Pretty good, nice oldschool style, good use of triggers. Lots of secrets. It's technically possible to get stuck inside the "cross" but that's the only real bug I found.	x
Anonymous	I was pleasantly surprised by this (a single-player wad by Hellbent?!) - it's pretty good, though a little rough around the edge.	x
Anonymous	I liked it - COOL - some unkillable monsters and a secret that can't be triggered	x
Anonymous	Hellbent's first map. Textures are a bit messy, the Cyber/Spider fight was pointless, and ammo is too sparse without secrets. Features some very clever and tricky traps and layouts, surprisingly good for a first effort and worth a look. 4/5	x

=======================================================================
Deep in the bowels of hell you must descend to escape this nightmare.
A fairly large level.  I got my inspiration for this level from the
beginnings of E1M5 and E3M4 as you'll see in the beginning of the wad.
Despite this, it manages to be an original and creative wad.  The
artistic design and architecture is decent.  There are tons of secrets
some of which are very helpful and maybe necessary to complete the
level.  It progressively gets harder as you go through the level.  It
starts out easy on any skill level but not long is it hard and by the
end it's downright impossible - well, not quite.  I encourage those
that play to try and find all the secrets as that is half the fun of
this level.  Also, let the baddies do the work for you, half the time
there's so many monsters of so many species you can save your ammo and
watch the firefight from afar.  In fact, you'll be low on ammo if you
don't let them do some of the work for you.
