i was never really a fan of the riot top 1s, especially not hell-themed top 1s. but i have to make an exception here. the modern 1.9-like levels seem overdone at this point, but this level feels perfect because it does all of that stuff well. the way the colours shift at times. the way the red is balanced out by the black, it's just not a stain of red on your screen a lot of times. the way the whole screen is filled with unique stuff (that isn't just a billion glow objects). it's like being stuck in this claustrophobic machine that you can't get out of. and it really fits what the level is trying to be. especially with the inhumane looking gameplay. especially with this song that feels so unique for a gd level. a song from doom that doesn't sound like what you'd expect when you hear "gd top 1" but goes so hard. the fact that people are already making progress on this is insane.

easily the best of the trilogy, takes the best parts of the previous two and turns the energy up to 11. and adds a billion more objects. succeeds in what a prospective top 1 should, in that it's really fun to watch even if you never intend to play it in your life. the second to last part (minus outro) especially just rocks, love when people incorporate rapidly alternating color triggers like that

bit of a shame you have to basically just be riot to pose this kind of challenge to the community, releasing something way beyond anything anyone can currently beat, coz open verifications r just cool as hell when it really challenges people (ie zoink doesnt just beat it in 2 weeks)

i hate to say it BUT ITS SO AURA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Riot level (derogatory) (derogatory)

The change in intensity from Tartarus to Acheron was finely tuned to make things just right. It gained just a little bit extra and lost even less. The change in intensity from Acheron to Aeternus is so excessive that it underflows and gets nothing while still losing everything. It all just goes by without anything interesting happening despite how hard it wants you to think otherwise

Overbearingly edgy but it looks cool

This level definitely feels like a solid conclusion to a trilogy... somewhat. Much more intense and extremely tight with everything it has to offer. This is something that is meant for players to go all out and reach greater heights that the game has not gone before, alas we have ways to go before we see this monstrosity get verified. Really, I can't see myself giving this anything higher than a 7. Cool as it is, it's still another one of those top levels in which I don't really like as a top level. I would really like to see someday where there is a level that is as difficult as this but it challenges EVERYTHING. All gamemodes, all skillsets, basically the whole package as to what a top player knows in GD and put into the ultimate test, something like Zodiac, but on the same diff as this. (Plus points if it's not hell themed).

Again though, this is a solid conclusion to a somewhat trilogy. Good luck to the poor soul that's gonna be attempting this when we get to that point of skill.
