One of the greatest levels of it's time, Blade of Justice is the pinnacle of 2.0 (albeit released in 2.1) tech levels and I believe it is the best creation to come out of the Manix + LazerBlitz creating duo (AND ALSO PAN AND KNOBBELBOY I GUESS THEY WERE IN THE LEVEL TOO). A majority of the parts still hold up fairly well I believe. In specific the iconic dual, with it's contrasting blacks and whites combined with the bright blue and magenta pulses.

Betrayal of Fear also works suppperrr well as a song, I used to think BoJ and A Bizarre Phantasm were somewhat related due to the song and blue themes x.x. BoF is just hella intense and I think it fits the vibes of the level really good, especially in parts like the first wave in the predrop and the last 25%, not good at talking abt music so.

If there's one thing I wish this level did more is that I wish it kept some parts from the older versions, the unnerfed dual has much more saturated pulses and the old cube part before the dual had a "shattered sun" blob in the background that I felt made the part stand out a little more.

love the level tho its rly cool and i still love tech :D

This level had a ton of revisions in the past and I am happy it did, this level is really well made for its time and the style within it is iconic. Manix did a wonderful job building this and it was truly his prime. Levels like these I wish were more appreciated nowadays as this level isn't talked about as much anymore, and it is a shame since its visuals are extremely good and its gameplay is extremely fun. I would definitely recommend this to someone to beat if they are good enough.

This level is near perfect. Gameplay is difficult and rewarding but also at the perfect skill level that it doesn’t feel bad to learn and play. The whole level is an experience that end with one of the most nerve wracking endings I have EVER played. I flunked this level from 56 -> 97% and still had fun after that disappointing death. The decoration is also really good for its time and holds up really well today.

I like that the first 20% gets really consistent despite being difficult asf. really good level
