Description : Antaresian Reliquary is a compilation of levels,

designed for various community projects for the
last 4 years. Seven levels with different themes
and limitations were selected for this compilation,
and the wad is designed as boom-compatible with
some custom gameplay elements, such as new enemies
and weapons. It is recommended to read the details
about the gameplay changes, before you start
playing this wad. Also, each level has a death
exit, making every level starts with forced pistol
start. So please keep in mind about this.
