    I just had to open my allready too big mouth… O well, makes for more diversity in remakes, right? :p

    Ok, we have here yet another Battle remake, this time of battle 2. I won’t complain this time tho, since Dx is obviously trying to make himself loved, and I grant that to anyone. Since this is a remake, I will only focus on the changes made to this level.

    Layout:
    Roughly prefectly intact. I did notice an area that seemed more open than in Battle 2, that’s probably just me. However: you all may remember that smal drop with red springs on walls. Well, the top left one is missing: there are two springs on the left, and three on the right wall. Smal flaw, it still costs points.

    Tileset use and eye candy:

    If you’re playing on low detail, you’re missing out. Pretty much everything is focussed on layer 5 to 7. It mainly exists out of leaves, the area with the many springs however has a rather big tree with the springs on the branches. Pretty interesting idea. I just wish there were more things to see eye candy-wise, like a real background (at least layer 7), but just a little bit, otherwise the level would be “clogged”.

    Ammo, Food, stuff that’s good.

    Everything has been carried over from battle 2, nothing to add here.

    Miscellaneous:

    With a Jungle tileset like Swamps by Agama, it’s pretty obvious Tubelectric Remix doesn’t fit. Instead Dx used “Water Level” (music of the second beach level), which fits quite nicely, it’s a jungle swamp afterall. The next level is a little badly chosen imo: to battle 3. It would have been more fitting if it was set to itself. Yet again, no big deal, it’s serves its purpose.

    Verdict:

    Another brave attempt by Dx. It’s not perfect, but it’s no disaster either. As with all remakes of this kind, only recommended for those who love the official battles, but hate the tilesets used and want to see something different. If I have to rate it: a 6 for the effort.
