I take back what I said about level 5, THIS is my favorite level ot TTSG (I feel like I'm going to say that for all these maps, lol).

Contrary to what I just said, I still don't like the start of this map. Idk why, but it seems that no amount of changes can get me to like the beginning of this level. It's just boring, has too many random fodder enemies and Kamikazes trickling in, annoying sniping enemies harassing you from the distance like Scrapjacks and Striker Biomechs, and even though it's a fairly short part of the experience it's just so annoying to get through.

It also doesn't help that immediately following this is the underground section, but thankfully the combat isn't too bad and TTSG greatly improves the visibility of these areas.

Once you emerge, the level becomes awesome. You finally get the Laser Rifle as an official weapon and it just shreds through everything. Fights feel tightly crafted and make great use of every enemy introduced up to this point.

One thing I applaud TTSG for is how it handles the final arena where you have to collect 4 seals to open the Sirian Chamber. In the original, every time you collected a seal, it would spawn in additional enemies to every part of this arena. This basically forced the player to either try and run passed everything or spend a bunch of time playing cleanup to kill off the huge amount of enemies that were roaming around.

Now, there's an initial wave of patrolling enemies that need to be taken care of when you enter this area, and every seal has a unique fight that plays after you grab it instead of just spawning in a bunch of random stuff to kill.

Sadly you still have to sit through the boring elevator ride after grabbing all the seals, but for the most part this level is leaps and bounds better than the original.

Thanks again for watching and as always, stay Serious!
