The map is competently built with a couple of cute visual nod to some Doom 1 maps, but the combat very much feels like an afterthought. Rather than building the map around different kinds of combat set-pieces, traps, ambushes and thinking about demon dynamics, you just filled every inch of the map with hordes of enemies, which really lacks any sense of interesting progression. The map's layout is also a little boring and has nothing really interesting to say for itself. Your texture work is solid, though also pretty uninteresting.

 

Functionally, you're on the right path as everything works and I didn't notice any glaring bugs and such, but there's a lot of room for improvement in regards to engaging design. Keep practicing!

Feedback appreciated, a few of the shortcomings with this map aren't too surprising since it was hastily made (text file mentioned it took 3 days to make). However, I can definitely say that there's no shortage of smart enemy placement on my previous map. Also, what difficulty did you play on?
