"So much keyboard fatigue,hours of lost sleep, and requests for help on the forum, and here I have to thank Pablito for the invaluable saves that allowed me to overcome nearly impossible jumps and unclear stages.
All to recover the beautiful Blasphemous mask after an epic battle with one boss and two dragons.
Of course, when you reach the end of a level like this, the satisfaction makes up for all the psychophysical suffering shed like tears in rain.
If the author had simplified certain stages and jumps, I think it would have been much more successful and well-received.
As conceived, it's suitable for super custom level players who have a lot of patience and time to dedicate. Undoubtedly, there's no criticism of Neltharion's excellent construction quality, nor his creativity in creating extreme glitch situations. The average rating of 8.8 on another site is influenced by the overall difficulty of the game. But the player had been warned. Basically, abandon all hope, you who are about to play it .
I found all 3 secrets.

I'm on old good Eizo so I don't suffer, but I know the pain of someone scammed with declared high brightness, only not to be able to see anything and blame the level. But I blame myself for not playing it properly: I distracted the jade guys with the monks behind the door while I was likely supposed to use the free monks later - which I still did with the last two warriors, but the other ones cost me a lot of time with pistols, and why did I do it to myself I have no idea. Platforming is very Neltharion and the final fight can be done with pistols so no need to complain about that either, though you need to know some tricks - and it is a level for people who do, so the rest should find the knowledge before trying. What I would fix for everybody is the routing, as the map layout is nice yet very weird to learn." - DJ Full (04-Mar-2026) |

| "Incredibly challenging, but in a platforming way for the most-part. If you get stuck, I advise looking at speed-running
tactics, as these help with tricky jumps etc.
Great level though, the theming is fantastic and it feels well thought out and respectful to Japanese culture.
Ambience is great also.
Loved it, despite struggling on occasion. Well worth it, especially if you want a genuine challenge. :D" - Olympus Mons (01-Mar-2026) |

| "The game is way too dark; you can’t see anything at all.The enemies are overpowered,
especially the two fire-breathing dragons and the giant bird later on—Lara barely stands a
chance.Some timed switches and sloped jumps are ridiculously difficult; you have to try over
and over again to get them right.The difficulty is off the charts; it’s only for people who
love a punishing challenge." - cheng (28-Feb-2026) |

| "The tag here is Kaizo , that means that you wont be able to finish it unless you are a speedrunner or a tr2 builder or a hardcore player , even with a wt you might no be able . Not because it is a troll or unfinished or broken but cause you should know certain mechanics of the tr2 engine but also cause its a neltharion level .Dont get fooled from his latest 2or3 releases,if you are familiar with deathwith , expect the worst and be prepared , yeap the goat is back .
It is sadistic , claustrophobic , stressful , not so chaotic as it may seem but for sure its a piece of oriental art , made with care and detail . Great aesthetics , great gameplay ,great atmopshere . It is influenced by some book or song i dont know tbh but they fit perfectly from what i searched a little and that show us the deeper inspiration and care this author has in his works .
About the gameplay now : the good thing is that you can do anything in any order and visit any place anytime again and everything is connected . The bad thing here is that you must do some few objectives under the pressure and hunting of many wild , furious guardians . will you try to avoid them or try to face them or defeat them as intended or not ,its up to you , gl with this . another feeling i had was that when accomplishing stuff , hard stuff, i was saying to myself ,it cant get worse or more difficult ,well .. it can ... everytime .. i just couldnt take a breath but even so i was even more addicted to keep progressing . There will be a time in the game where you will have opened the whole map and you should be forced to face and achieve certain jumps to move , gl with these also , nightmare , be patient , take breaks and keep grinding . on top of this, have in mind that you wont know either the setup or the mechanics of this engine . Also take a maze to spend some time and beat a 3ple boss fight so you can never get bored and be on edge .
Useful tips :
1 Grab the 3 easy secrets so it can help you for the ending
2 Dont be afraid in what order to do things or follow ,doesnt matter
3 If you get frustrated or ready to abandon , just insist after a break or next day
4 Sometimes , very few times , luck will smile to you and you will accomplish tasks with an unorthodox way , take it and dont look back .
5 I would suggest adrielvicio walk if you get stuck but first try everything , the feeling of accomplishment alone is way higher
Overall i dont want to scare anyone and it isnt so unachievable as it may seem in my review . Is it fully worth ? yes 100% Will you have a different view of custom levels after beating it ? yes Do you want to get out of your comfort raiding zone ? its up to you , noone forces you .
Just for the record i had 411 deaths and more than 4 hours written in the ending stats .
Looking forward to finishing other test levels in the future or a tr3 engine kaizo level maybe." - Petaludas (26-Feb-2026) |

| "A very challenging level set in Japan. It's probably the hardest TR2 level to date. The
level itself is quite convoluted and a bit labyrinthine. There are two main challenges here:
the parkour and the enemies. The former consists of many extremely precise jumps, which
might take some time to manage for experienced players. The latter is a difficulty which is
new in Neltharion's levels. We have to evade countless spear guardians that chase us
throughout the level, which, I assure, is not easy. Later on we are able to get rid of them.
Besides the enemies and the parkour there is also a pushable puzzle. It's not really hard
but it will take you some time. The visuals are decent. The level is rather dark, but has a
lot of contrasting light spots. Some places are quite pretty, for example the graveyard area
or the hut. Natural environments appear to be a tad wallpapered; I would use more textures
to make them more diverse visually. Overall, the game is fun, but only for expert players
who like to repeat sequences countless times. These sequences often feel like puzzles
themselves, which makes it very satisfying to successfully get through them. A really well
done hardcore level. Recommended for the most experienced." - BlackWolfTR (26-Feb-2026) |
