Really iconic level, it's pretty good for its time, bonus points for making the hell style one of the most known styles in GD. Had an alright time with it.

What did they do to you

update drops this from an 8 to a 6

Cataclysm is on the good end of bad levels but is a solid first extreme if that's what you're looking for.

Cataclysm is a very iconic level, goes without saying. I always loved how this level looked. It felt very intimidating, and it always felt like an extreme demon. However, I stayed away from the level for a while since I never really heard great things about the gameplay. I eventually sat down and beat it in a few hours, and I really enjoyed it. It got consistent, surprisingly, and it felt very fair for the most part. Granted, this could have been because I was more than skilled enough to beat the level. Perhaps I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if I went for it as my first extreme, but who knows? Anyway, I think Cataclysm aged well in terms of gameplay and design and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a beginner extreme to beat.
