This level at one time, back in the day, was impossible for me. Now, it
seems pitifully easy. We've seen tons of these arena levels since
1994. This one is good, but could use about a hundred more monsters to make
it interesting. On Ultra-Violence, you teleport into the middle
of a huge arena with a load of former humans on catwalks. As soon as you
take a step, four doors open, unleashing an army of spectres,
barons, imps, and cacodemons. This really doesn't make you get into a sweat.
There is tons of room... if there were twelve times as many
monsters, you still wouldn't be crowded. As it is, you easily dodge past
them, go out into the outside area of the arena, load yourself up with
weapons (most of the heavy artillery are in secret rooms, but the areas are
rather hard to find), and go back to kill any of the monsters that
haven't taken care of each other from the crossfire. I took everything out
with my shotgun, just to make it interesting.... there is -no
challenge- taking on 4 barons with a shotgun given a mile radius to move
around in.
Bottom line: alright level with no major problems... it just doesn't seem
nearly as interesting these days, when the arena level motif has been
done to death.
