it’s… fine? it’s okay. the maps vary wildly in quality, difficulty, and playability. most of them have a very amateurish feel to them. the maps, by and large, feel spartan in architecture, having a lot of long, empty feeling hallways and cavernous, empty feeling rooms. monster placement feels haphazard, and much of this mod’s “difficulty,” especially on a couple of maps, comes from throwing a bunch of Polyps and Droles at you. Much more valuable as a piece of Quake history than as something to actually play for fun. Absolutely does not live up to Contract Revoked, which is actually really great.
okay, the boss fight is really cool, but it doesn’t quite make up for the quantity of crap maps.

I do share some of the complaints about difficulty but not enough to ruin my overall enjoyment of this pack.
But “Through Nature to Eternity” is a pretty bad arena. The corners of the place look like areas where you could take cover, except the monster is adept at shooting around thin cover and most of the time the pillars just got in the way of my movement. Hunting for the buttons and getting the cross got me stuck so many times that I lost the fight, which on second try I would easily win by just circle-strafing and avoiding the corners.
Also, I don’t know if it is a bug on my part, but I got the hammer early (Vondur’s map I think?) and kept it between levels, the only weapon to do so. It was very useful in saving ammo against non-enemies like knights (and sometimes other things) which made things easier.

Why are Quoth base enemies so much better and more fun to deal with than the fantasy enemies? Those custom enemies completely ruin this pack. Those screaming guys that push you on a void map!? A horde of those screaming guys that turn invisible and push you in a lava-filled room!? Guh. Necros’ map seems like a tech demo and not a proper map.

Regardless, than’s Subterranean Library was a great map that I believe was supposed to be included here, but those monster really have to be used sparingly imho.
