Considering the goal, the authors meet their target well in this level keeping the standard Duke3D gameplay and design throughout the map, which remains enjoyable and designed fairly well.

Introduction
The successor of “The City of The Damned”, a ZDoom map featuring resources from the Monolith game “Blood”, this time featuring dynamic lights and other nifty sourceport additions in GZDoom. Expect a moody, dark and scary city filled with zombies, cultists and evil demons. Another quality release from Tormentor which doesn’t disappoint, though this time round it’s something quite different from his usual projects, so let’s see what is in store for us.
Gameplay
The Order have returned and taken over your headquarters. So the task is simple, to once again stop them and take everything back once more. The level will start by placing you in a cell with a acolyte guarding outside and upon escaping that area you are given some simple objectives to complete during the course of the level. Gameplay is mostly button pushing and fighting off you foes to reach the next location, however there are a few interactions with some NPCs.
Gameplay
You take the role as Jamil Lee who was caught and imprisoned in Nova Prospekt. The door of your cell opens of which you decide to take revenge and cause your own riot act. You take control just inside your cell and the adventure starts pretty much here and throughout a series of maps that take place in Nova Prospekt. However the modification is a very enjoyable one at that with plenty of variety, action and locations with a decent sense of flow. This one includes some new voice acting, not a whole lot but a good amount to make some of the cutscenes feel fresh when encountering them, such as the one at the start after going up the flight of stairs.
Quite a dull experience, except for the new features and boss fight, which is set in some average looking levels with bad transition between them.
Simple puzzles, easy fights in an average design set of short levels that can come across quite dull, but has a few nice moments.
Enjoyable, balanced and variety gameplay set in a detail map similar to those found in the original game.
Short, enjoyable map set in an industrial setting with balanced gameplay with similarities to that of Half Life 2.
