Chthon doesn’t appear when I take the rune (or the quad, or the pentagram) on the fourth level. Is there something else I have to do to make him emerge? I can’t progress until I kill him.

A very fast play. If it wasn’t an episode it would just be a linear small map. Gameplay in the first three maps is firstly about eliminating the smallish hordes that attack you as soon as you spawn, and secondly on tracking down buttons that unlock the runs you need to complete the map. The first map is a little rough, giving you the ssg and nailgun vs. several death knights and company, but they get a bit better as they introduce more weapons and monster variety. Unfortunately none of the maps introduce more monsters after the initial big fights, so they pretty front-loaded.
Fourth map is a battle vs. a modified Chthon who can be damaged with your weapons. He is supposed to spawn when you grab the rune, but you’re not missing much if he doesn’t since fighting him is all there is to the map, and the last map is just a small room with an exit teleporter and a shambler that spawns in front of it.
I mainly played this for the ikblue textures, but these maps don’t look as good as Iikka Keränen’s. They’re a little bit of fun though, so 3 stars is about right.

Very simple, single room start map. No way of selecting Nightmare.

A single room, where you kill a couple of monsters, press a button, get the rune and leave.

Pretty much the same as the previous map but, this time, you press two buttons to get rune.

Gets a bit more difficult here, if you are shotgun starting. Most of the enemies will immediatelly jump you.
Still very doable. Massive amounts of ammo, health and a Red Armor.
You shoot a cross to get the rune, this time.

A single room with Chthon. You shoot at it, instead of using the usual lightning pillars. You have plenty of ammo, a Lightning Gun, a Pentagram and a Quad Damage. Trivial.

Single room. Kill a Shambler, leave. Pointless.

Overall, a set of maps that you'll finish in no time. Every one is super small, super simple and follows the same gameplay loop. Each map is comprised of one or, at most, two rooms, you spawn, kill a few enemies, get the rune and leave. There's no additional spawns, there is plenty of ammo, not really much to worry about.
Visually, the maps are pretty good, but that's it. Even if you combined them all into a single map, it would still be considered short.
