there hasn't been another level like this one. this level is simply unmatched in terms of looks/aura/vision/theming and i love it. i haven't seen any other levels truly better or more unique in such aspects (in my opinion)
but unfortunately, with that aside, there is no ignoring everything wrong with this level.
the gameplay is very hard and sucks ass, and i know that calling a demonlist level too hard is dumb af, but in this case i make an exception, i would be disappointed if this level remained as top 1 difficulty, because it's so unique, i wouldn't like seeing it being at a difficulty that only like 5 people can handle, and making it easier could help with the gameplay being bad
the music sync is insufficient. of course it's not possible to sync to every single drum and beat in the song, but the level completely ignores so many of them it's crazy. it affects the viewing expirience for me and makes it unsatisfying to see that the gameplay and stuff could've been synced to the music more
and also, maybe they should've just picked another song. i really like this one, it's pretty much unlike anything else in gd just like the rest of the level is, but it's an instrumental of a real song from a band with the same name as the level, and i think back in 2018 they said they didn't want their song being used in this level, but i guess the creators ignored them here
they also ignored the concerns about the stolen arts taken from poor deviantart artists and other random places online with 0 credit. nothing was changed there
this 2021 version is definitely a big improvement from the 2018 one though, it's less messy, more sleek and polished
but oh well. i guess it can remain as a level to be watched but not played. again, in terms of visuals and stuff, i still really love this level, nothing beats it for me. but it's sad how everything else turned out with it, and how there hasn't been any comeback or alternatives for this level ever since. i think it's untapped potential, this is a very unique level
