THEME: Not much of one. The author seems to have copied the whole idea from Blade’s Wasteland, but not been too clear on what idea he was copying. Anyway, the tileset ends up as a bunch of bright white metal blocks with some plants and weird background mountains.
Pros: Few.
Cons: Not much of a theme, what little theme there is not very expanded upon.
Rating: 5.0
GRAPHICS: Really quite bad. The very few places there is any shading at all is quite jerky, no textures, and most everything looks ugly. The only saving grace is the plants, which actually look kind of ok, despite not fitting in with the tileset at all.
Pros: The plants.
Cons: Most everything else.
Rating: 2.0
INVENTORY: Text sign, spikes, poles, vine.
Pros: Some stuff is there.
Cons: A lot of the things are missing, what there is isn’t very well masked, nor does it have all that good graphics…
Rating: 3.5
ORIGINALITY: There really is nothing that is original about this tileset. Everything is basically taken from something else or shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
Rating: 1.7
COMPETITION: Wasteland. Just about any metal tileset, really.

EASE OF USE: This is probably the best factor. Assuming you can tell what a tile is supposed to be, you will pretty much know where to put it, and where it is. The only complaint here is that the extra [] eyecandy stuff has to be squares or it won’t work at all, completely destroying all the usability potential.
Pros: Mostly good.
Cons: Those [] things.
Rating: 6.0
MASKING: Ick. The masking on this tileset is just horrible. Jagged edges, little dots, stuff with masking not at all like the tile itself… hint: people like smooth, bugless masks.
Pros: The tileset’s masking is, at least, usable.
Cons: Way too many bugs.
Rating: 2.2
OVERALL: This is hard to rate overall, as each of the sections has gotten significantly different ratings. Still, this is just not a very good tileset, despite what Superjazz and this guy I’ve never heard of seem to think.
Pros: Not too many. But the tileset is usable, and you can make a level with it.
Cons: Bugs, missing things, not very good graphics.
