The combat isn't that bad and it's got kind of an INVADE2 vibe as far as the fidelity of the base goes. It's got a decent outside and a lot of moving parts, like a minefield you have to walk through whose safe path is revealed by the computer map, which is guarded by some red key bars, so you have to launch a rocket to grab the red key, which you need the launch codes for from the office, which you have to get to by deftly vaulting through a gauntlet of monsters and security turrets. If you've ever wanted to test out your Doom Tyson skillz against Corvus's lowliest opponents, here's your chance! Just a placeholder map with eight gargoyles from Heretic. There are a few nice details in the interior (plus a convincing link to the previous map) but for the most part it's super-cramped gameplay. Nothing really memorable about the fights, except maybe that big inner courtyard which raises up a bunch of Hell knights. As early as it is, you're better off giving the blue key a pass and collecting stuff from the outside. About the only really nasty bit here is the baron cage trap. That spectre / baron fight in the dark room was easy enough to survive with the megasphere, but I imagine less apt searchers might have some trouble.ДЄ fairly dense and trappy storage facility with some wide, open outdoors. The northern area is kind of interesting with all the imps in what are basically cages but it's got at least one instant death trap - quicksand, I guess. Both have a lot of claustrophobic gameplay, but the east is worse, with a budget stealth section in the blue key pit that requires sneaking around to a switch to lower the platform you use to enter a room with a rocket launcher, after which you can finally breathe.

There are only two major areas, the underground network to the east and the vined, ruined base to the north. More waterways, but these are toxic, and absolutely choked with imps. I think there's a transmission from Eileen, but the gameplay stomps all over the radio.

You travel from area to area in water-filled sluices and some big gameplay changeups rear their head, like specterized imps and - more importantly - the sentry gun. It's Tyson gameplay up until you get the shotgun from the cacodemon, after which the difficulty eases up. The imps are suddenly far more dangerous and you're way more desperate to get some health, so it's nice that there's a berserk pack behind the two spectres you let out. You're fucked off the bat with an explosion that knocks you down to critical health.
