"This is a two level set of Greek themed levels. They mostly stay familiar, but have some original aspects like the use of Tomb Raider 2 Golden Mask textures to make gold more prominent as an aspect. As expected from two of the best classic designers around it makes great use of the TR1 engine features and has consistently strong visuals, with high-quality textures and lighting, although I don't think it does anything especially surprising visually given the talent behind it. Objects are also used well and there's some new features, like being able to examine items for more details and hints, which also leads to some nice integration. While enemies and combat are pretty conventional there's some custom texturing later on that creates a few surprises later.
This is a set that uses Save Crystals by default, and is balanced around that so pulls it's punches a bit by both author's usual standards. There are still some challenging trap and platforming segments though, and, while Crystals are pretty regular, you get starved a little once or twice, but the set isn't long enough for it be an issue. You get route choices at certain points, and there's plenty of non-linearity in bigger areas despite the Crystal balance making the "branches" from the hub areas relatively linear. As mentioned, combat is pretty straight-forward with one or two exceptions, and there's a lot of equipment along with enemy numbers being on the lower side for maps with Sabatu involved. A high-quality set made to the standards expected by two great builders, although it doesn't do anything especially ground-breaking like such a combo might suggest." - Mman (17-Jun-2025) |

| "Excellent Midas level. The only little detail that bothered me was the rounded shadows of
Lara and her enemies - I don't know anything about level building but I suppose the TR1
graphics were reconstituted from another engine. I felt depressed at the beginning when I
found out you couldn't save whenever you wanted (now I've just seen in the description
that you can get rid of that) but... it turned out to be a very nice feature. It adds up
to the tension of the experience, and actually the difficulty level is just perfect,
challenging but not frustrating, with some timed-runs, some difficult jumps and the
mandatory rolling boulders - even in some places where you wouln't be expecting them! I've
always played on PC and it's the first time that I play TR with save crystals and it
changes the way I'm exploring, being more cautious and more strategic - this was
interesting. The level has a cleverly thought architecture, with beautiful rooms and
luxurious caves, some blue sky showing up sometimes which adds a little something to the
atmosphere. I was often in awe when getting into a new room. There's a lot of exploration
and action, swimming, running, climbing and shooting enemies, and some nice new ideas like
the golden enemies and the possibility to examine the objects you collect, with the story
unfolding through some notes you gather while walking around. And a nice ending, getting
back to light to the sound of the lovely TR music :) There's 2 sublevels and it took me
just a litte over 3 hours." - OrFractal (02-Jun-2025) |

| "A great collaborative level of two ingenious builders. Everything from the gameplay to the
visuals is spot-on. There is a story that unfolds in the second level and gives some depth
to the place we explore. The mode with saving crystals provides a nice challenge. I like the
new TR1X features being used such as the ability to examine certain items and the skybox. I
highly recommend this very fun and professional level." - BlackWolfTR (23-Mar-2025) |

| "Perhaps these two levels don't deserve four tens in every category, but I really enjoyed diving back into the classics from the TR1 era. Just one catch: the platform where you fight Torso and the rest of the golden beasts is too small; however, I don't know if this is intentional or not, but once the enemies are activated, you can jump back to the previous corridor and calmly eliminate them from outside the platform. Highly recommended." - Jose (12-Mar-2025) |

| "Here's a pleasant throwback to a classic TR1
setting. Hot on the heels of another
enjoyable TR1 release, this one was also
very enjoyable throughout. The environments
are pleasing to the eye (particularly in the
second level), and the gameplay consistently
creative and entertaining. Enemies mainly
consist of the regular Greek crowd (lions
and gorillas) and there's plenty of them,
but there's more than enough supplies to
counteract them. I also found the Torso Boss
battle to be a bit easier this time round,
despite there also being numerous other
enemies to defeat alongside it (don't know
whether the entrance ledge was meant to be
used as a safe spot, but I took full
advantage of it). Loved the escape sequence
too." - Ryan (12-Mar-2025) |

| "One of better team projects. Good except from the first map fragment which is non-linear but favors a specific order and penalizes any other with weaker weapons and passage repetition. The same part has no save crystals in any of those paths so please add some in strategic places. The second level stands up to the first one - unexpectedly instead of overwhelmed I stayed intrigued as the game didn't reinvent the wheel but made it spin a bit better." - DJ Full (10-Mar-2025) |

| "I found it quite entertaining and solid. The first level is more challenging because there
are fewer crystals to save the game, and the challenges are somewhat more complex. The
second level is fairly straightforward, except for the final escape. It’s not the best level
from these highly prestigious authors, but any player will still have a good time. Both the
difficulty and the duration are medium." - requiemsoul (05-Mar-2025) |

| "I see Greece i play , i see these 2 builders i instant download it . Ofc its a nice designed 2 levels , ofc it is treated with care , ofc you observe and admire . you know what to expect . truth is i havent played any other lvl from these two authors so i dont know whose level are these 2 but i know well what to expect and how pro they are . 3 things i want to notice here : 1) in the first level , in the beginning ,
you dont need to pull the pushblock so the tile to float so you can procceed to the 1st time run as i recall , you can curve jump exactly to the time-run lever 2) dont know what happened but in the first level , i think the 3rd secret, after a lever , a seismic toss -earthquake happened , room changed , to grab an item and if you step near you hear the secret sound with no items and i imagined that it was a hint for a previous rail-bar door to open with 3 items inside which was also a secret indeed , counted as 2 ? 3) at the boss -animal fight its possible to avoid the 1v8 battle by shooting by distance , no spoiler. 7/9 secrets obtained ." - Petaludas (25-Feb-2025) |

| "Well it's a huge treat to get another level from Mahetus, as his building style is highly
unique, and frankly he can make TR1 levels on par with some of the best TR1 Builders
around in my opinion, since his Unknown showcase how willing he is to explore and strain
the engine to its limits. This levelset is obviously two levels- one from him, and one
from Sabatu. Both are made with clear quality and dedication for creativity, and I've
never really found myself getting bored... though after 3 playthoughs of both levels I
must say this is still a 10/10 level in my opinion. It does a lot of things right, and
aside from some harder moments or iffy jumps, this is a very well made TRLE.
[][][][][]
Mahetus's section shines in exploration and creative room designs, and the crafted
environments of his really pop out very nice. Secrets are nice to look for and getting
each one feels like a reward, although the abundance of items means this level is not the
hardest one out there, even combined with Sabatu's section. My favourite moment from this
level will have to be the room with the massive cage, though it's not much considering
everything is great here.
[][][][][]
Sabatu's section involves some moments of frustration that make sense, such as a long
pushable section or the abundance of enemies in tight spaces. Regardless it's typical
Sabatu quality and you should not expect he went easy on the player, with a difficulty
spike and environments that scream of Sabatu- primarly boulders and enemy counts. I hadn't
gotten all secrets here although I must say it was easy enough to beat everything with
pistols should you decide to do that. The final boss was annoying because of the small
arena, but it wasn't reason to grit my teeth and inject another dose of painkillers
directly into my nervous system. Overall... Just fucking play it. You won't regret it." - OblivionJaw (23-Feb-2025) |
