Duke was taking the subway home when the aliens decide to attack the station while he was waiting for his connecting train.
A well put together and solidly designed map. Well detailed and shaded and with the right choice of texturing to set a nice rail station ambiance. Some nice architecture and sprite work to emphasize the atmosphere such as in the wall pillars, the trains, overhead covers, and more.
Game play starts out slow, definitely feeling alone in the empty station, then when you least expect it the walls are exploding and the aliens are emerging from hidden nooks and crannies. The combat dramatically escalates with the appearance of some very powerful aliens and the rest of the game, until the exit is reached, is an exchange of heavy fire power. There's loads of ammunition and health, and even though it's fairly easy to gain tactical advantage, you'll need every bit of it.
