"What an adventure! Although this is only the first part in what is presumably a longer
series of levels, there's enough action packed into this one alone to satisfy any raider. I
do have decidedly mixed feelings about it though. I did enjoy the exploration side of things
(maybe aside from exploring that huge flooded cavern in search of hidden passageways), as
well as the jumping sequences, the hunt for the secrets was really well thought out and the
TR1-reminiscent atmosphere was well caught, but a few things could have been done better.
The lighting was too dark for my liking (particularly in the labyrinth section), the
textures were a bit crude and unappealing and that gigantic trap sequence near the end
really was overdoing a bit. Spike walls, spike pits and squish blocks were tricky enough,
but then they were followed by flame traps, boulders and collapsing tiles and it ended up
being a little too frustrating for my liking. Some of the backtracking was a little
excessive too. So in the end a rather mixed experience, but not bad at all for a debut." - Ryan (06-Nov-2025)
