And here I thought the 4 in “hehe4” was just some bad pun that I didn't understand... Oh how wrong I was...

Final Verdict
Not recommended

So... These maps, all four of them... They are quite something...
They are not great by any means of the word, but at the same time they aren't bad either... Their charm comes from how ludicrous they are...

While the visuals can definitely be a hit or miss, it is consistent with how “bad” it is... Always looking like a bad B budget film... The gameplay while usually very difficult and with too much trial and error, it is still satisfying due to how short most of the chapters are... Having extreme difficulty spikes, followed by some extreme valleys...

The finales are always the simplest, easiest, tamest parts of the campaigns... Which is rather backwards when you consider the usual formula, but at the same time is a welcomed thing here...

These maps are probably the closest thing we have to “So bad it is good”... It is bad, but still accidentally good in how some things are executed... If the maps were to be a bit more forgiving and charitable here and there during the hard chapters, I would have no problem giving these a Neutral rating... But the sheer difficulty spikes are still bad enough that they can not be ignored...

So with that said... While I do not recommend them... They are still worth playing if you like to play bad maps...
