Slightly challenging at the beginning, when you're getting your first weapons and learning the layout of the house and the placement of the enemies. Plenty of cover in the meantime. I don't have the courage to play it on Hard, but it sounds like it might actually be fun. (I must be playing too many mods.) The combat was good.

Not too easy, not too hard. Congrats! I really liked this one, the equipment is modest to start with, and you have to acquire more, gradually, to progress. Not too easy, not too hard. Congrats!

Imo it's lots of fun beeing in a house surrounded by enemies where you have to find a way out and finishing those suckers, just by you knowledge about the area.

Fairly fun but design wise it's quite a mess. Either way, looking for something to kill time then check it out. Played this months ago. Fairly fun but design wise it’s quite a mess.

In hard skill, this is a 'Play It Now'. A Hunter came out to get me! The Combines' aim is much improved and they are hard men! Heck! Revised comment and recommendation. In hard skill, this is a ‘Play It Now’. A Hunter came out to get me! The Combines’ aim is much improved and they are hard men! Heck!

Whilst the set design and detail within amounts to little, being very boxy in every respect, however, I doubt that you will have little time for shop windowing with so much action packed into this one. If you have had a hard day this will help you unwind, although being on the short side you may want to play it through a few times, I think I will play it again just to kick some ass.

Doubtless authors will take it apart technically but it plays great and with no hang ups that I found. I cannot deny the sheer joy of taking a Hunter down. They die but good. A must play but not a PIN. Great map for the fighting SP FPS gamer who is not too concerned about having a beautiful setting (some of it was pretty OK though).

Visuals
It’s very hard to make regular house look good in Half-Life 2/Source, so this aspect is best ignored

Gameplay
This is wehere the map shines. The fighting was fun and the enemies are spread out quite nicely. I was dissapointed but the lack of movement that the Hunters had but with such a small area it’s ok.

Layout and Design
The layout is fun to play and there’s a few hidden parts of the house and sections that will provide help and support.

Summary
10 minutes of frantic action in a less than inspiring setting. Fun to play but not very nice to look at.

5 Words Or Less Review

Fun gameplay, horrible setting
