There is quite a lot to like here, but some serious flaws that really diminish gameplay.

The map has a LOT of verticality to it, but somehow doesn't quite play with it, as there are floors within the level where nearly all interactions happen horizontally. Creative decisions like a wall that doesn't descend quite to the floor, allowing opponents to target the feet/ankles of opponents going for the RA. The MH room is nicely done, as is the secret access to the quad. Having a second, less obvious path to the RL is also a nice touch.

A major complaint is the MH and RA are 7 seconds apart if you're quick, which, when combined with a fairly quick respawn, enables the camper to defend the area with impunity. Though this may be more related to our rounds being 1v1. Another smaller complaint is there should probably be another RL and RG.

Lastly the aesthetic is pretty cool, but the strange inclusion of Egyptian symbols and art is...odd.

A creative and very interesting map that "almost" gets where it's trying to go.

A really interesting map that offers up some cool pieces for exploration as well as enjoyable gameplay. Bots seem a little overly attracted to a central jump pad and as a result are not really a meaningful challenge, but if you hold that aside you still have a really great level that is worth checking out. I thought the layout was really unique and offered some cool ideas. Textures and lighting are also worth taking note of. Its another predominately !BROWN! level but the shades in lighting, and the differences in accent textures keep it from feeling overbearing as an artificially forced aesthetic. I'd say the look is pulled off here. Its a more sprawling layout than the tighter maps that have been tickling my fancy lately, but its also well connected and a player should never feel like they are far away from getting back into a fight.

too much open/wide spaces for playing in competitions, only worth the download if you like nice looking maps,

gameplay: 2/10
graphics: 8/10
