E1M5 From Doom 1 converted for Duke3d.
Despite what the template says in reference to E1M1, the map is actually E1M5. The discrepancy will remain a mystery, unless you know the person and ask. Anyway, this does look like a typical Doom map; dull, no shading, no trimwork or detailing, and wholesale texturing in bulk.
The layout and gameplay are decent enough. One of the few Doom remakes that isn't swamped with weapons and healing items. It's still a shoot-em-up, but you can manage to get yourself dead if you don't watch your health. There are a couple side areas with some extra weapons to boost your arsenal if you aren't satisfied with the jib count. More fun than tetanus.
Overall I'd give it a 69
