The long awaited third community collaborative RPG Level Set!

Architects were assigned rooms, and created them without seeing what the others were doing. The resulting hold has 7 levels to explore and conquer.

There's also a story, with two endings. Complete all seven levels to find the truth behind this mysterious level set.

Mastered!

What a great adventure, I believe this is the best community RPG hold and it's really, really enjoyable, I rated it 10 and 6 for difficulty.
First of all, there are no hot tiles or aumtlichs (actually, there are but they won't hurt you) so you can collect all potions immediately. There is also a custom weapon which is quite interesting, though I didn't use it a lot.
The hold is backtrackable and even though there are no shortcuts it's not a problem at all, because the levels are quite small. There is also an inventory level which can be accessed by a special tile and there are lots of them.
Furthermore, there's a discrete number of accessories and it was interesting deciding how to use them.
The thing I liked the most, though, is that this hold suits perfectly my style of playing, which involves not taking any upgrade from the "altar" until the very last one. Here, this was perfect, because it was a good challenge (but not frustrating or insanely hard) defeating the brained slayer and there's also a lot of leeway for this (used only 1 bomb and no speed potion).
After that I immediately went to the final altar and I took DEF upgrade only, oremite shield and the really big sword, which made the final level almost trivial. The custom weapon is nice indeed because
The story is ok, nothing too complicated but it deserves a mention, mainly for the second ending.

Well done to all the architects!
