>How hard is it?
Pretty hard, but in a good way - lots of low-tier monsters even on skill 2, but on skill 2, you get lots of strong powerups, like more soulspheres/armor, and the occasional extra megasphere or invulnerability. You could play it on skill 1, even, for the buffs - it's the same as skill 2 but you take 1/2 as much damage and ammo pickups give you double ammo, so it's a very forgiving environment to learn the levels in.
>How long is it?
Only 9 short levels - but the levels are non-linear, so if you know your way around you can beat a level in like 3 minutes, but on your first playthrough it can take like 15+ minutes to beat it since you're running around exploring.

Levels 2, 6, and 7 are my favorites, and level 6 is currently my favorite Doom level I've ever played. I had to load level 6 with no monsters and learn my way around it because I kept dying, though admittedly I could have done the same in skill 1 but whatever, no monsters was faster. I played it pistol-starting every map on skill 2 and I had a blast. I plan on going back and beating it in a continuous play-through, as well as beating each level on UV pistol starts as well because I liked the levels that much. I beat map 6 pistol start UV no saves but I also learned all the secrets during my no monsters exploring - there's a BFG that helps a lot, and there's an invincibility secret on the northern side of the map
