Aesthetics:

Acid Storage Facility is a wonderful sight for sore JK eyes. The architecture is very good. Round corridors, high catwalks, low catwalks at different levels, and all in a big round room! Vents that go up, down, left, and right. Of course you control which direction you go. I don't think this level used one default texture. Even from the thumbnails at the right you can tell that the level is aesthetically pleasing. The acid texture is animated, it looks like it is bubbling and moving, this is a very nice touch. The lighting in ASF is also worthy of high marks. It's dark in the vents, and light out by the acid. Not only does the acid look cool, it also glows! There are also a few new dynamics being used. One of them is a barrel, actually a few barrels placed randomly throughout the level. Once you destroy them (they hurt pretty bad), they will respawn randomly throughout the level.

Gameplay:

The gameplay in ASF is certainly fast-paced, but I would prefer to call it fast-deathed. The level is actually very small. If you and an opponent meet anywhere in the level (other than the vents and corridors), you have to fight it out, or jump into the acid. The acid takes away 80 health points after a second of being in it. Another second and you're dead. So you've got a max of two seconds to live once you hit the acid, unless you can hit Force Jump quick enough or jump repeatedly to get to a wall. The explosive barrels also add to the difficulty of the level, it takes away maybe 30-20 health depending on your shield status. The catwalks are narrow as well, and easy to fall off. If someone actually manages to get the concussion rifle, you might as well surrender, unless they fall off into the acid or you can Force Pull it. The bacta tanks are well placed, but there aren't any shields, but since it is meant to be a Sabers Only level shields aren't needed, for a good saberist anyway. Though some shields would be nice. Force in ASF can be very deadly, not very helpful, and save your life. It can be very deadly if you're a lighty and there is a dark sider in there. If he uses Force Destruction, you're in that acid in no time flat, Force Absorb won't help here. Force Persuasion works very well too. Because of the lighting in the level, it can be harder to see the particles of someone who is using persuasion, therefor you won't know to use Force Seeing. Don't even think about Force Speed in here. The Force will save your life if you have Jump. That is usually the best way to get out of the acid if you've got Healing + Jump. I would recommend 2-4 people in here. Four players can be crowded, but since it's primarily a sabers level, 4 people shouldn't be a problem.

Final Comments:

If you like to have a lot of fun, die a lot, and laugh at others as they fall into acid, this is your level. You've got to be a very good saberist to survive.
