Aim:
Get the Firestaff, Upgrade it, kill Lord Chaos.

Notes:
The dungeon is very similar to the former one: Characters are the same, goal is the same, first level is the HOC...
The end is to me very difficult, the rest is just a bit harder than the original DM.
Some puzzles are inspired from DM & CSB. Don't worry, there is enough new stuff to give you an headache and to make you buddies die a thousand time :-)

Known bugs:
Might have problems with the randomly displayed graphics. I am only an unexperimented dungeon designer...

Reviewer: Michael Hutton (a.ka. Beowuuf)
Gameplay: 8
Originality: 8. Especially some of the trap craft and level ideas.
Difficulty: 9. Just for the last level or two there was a loooooot of combat!
Puzzles: 8. Some very original puzzles, even a head scratcher or tw, and the whole level 9 floor pad throwing puzzle... cool... :)
Size: 8. All the levels, but alot are smaller.
Replayability: 7
Craft: 7. For someone doign their first dungeon, one or two of the more advanced set ups like weapon charger around, and the level 9 with the moving walls fun :)

Game Ending: While the hack and slash at the end was nice, did make it quite a simplistic ending (not easy, just simplistic).
Atmosphere: 7
Overall: 9. Highly playable, good traps and later levels.
Best part: It took ages but level 9, and for scratching my head over the damn giggler/fireball room!
Worst part: The fact that i didn't work out the giggler/fireball launcher room.
