75 Extreme Demons Completed! Last big milestone until I hit the big 100 :D

For those of you who don't know, a little while after I announced that I was going to temporarily drop Bloodlust until my semester lets up, I decided to start something that I called the Zylenox Level Marathon. Basically I'm just gonna be completing all of his rated Extreme Demons as well as Necrocide (simply because I liked the level). The document containing each level as well as some additional information can be found in the link above!

Starting off with one of the harder levels on the list, we have Necrocide!

I've known about this level's existence for a really long time. I believe it's how I actually ended up figuring out who Zylenox is in the first place. Either way, this is the level that really made me fall in love with Zylenox's style. I love the dark and metallic style that this level has, and it's personally my favorite level of this style that Zylenox has created. So I knew that once I made the decision to beat all of Zylenox's rated Extreme Demons, I might as well add in Necrocide as well, just for fun.

And as I had hoped, it was a blast!

I'll hop straight into the point here: this level is INCREDIBLY second half heavy. 64-100% carries most of this levels difficulty, with most of it being centered within 67-78%. Normally this would be a bad thing, but the thing about this level is that it gets RIDICULOUSLY consistent. I'm talking I would get to the 60s every couple of attempts towards the end of my time with this level. Not only is it incredibly consistent, but it is SO damn fun to play. The level is skill-based as well, meaning that there's pretty much no BS found in the level at all minus a couple chokepoints.

I will say that the first 5% is absolutely brutal. It's not difficult, but it contains some the fastest gameplay I have ever played, with most of it requiring me to butterfly-click to manage to do it consistently. Luckily once I got the rhythm down, it was pretty consistent. As I just mentioned, 67-78% is also absolutely brutal, and ate up the majority of my deaths at the 2nd half of this level. Somehow, though, it was never frustrating. I guess since I knew that this section of the level was by far the hardest part, as well as the fact that I could get to it extremely easily, caused my deaths at this section to really not bother me, which I am very thankful for.

Some other highlights of the level include the swingcopter at 39%, wow that part is SO much fun, and I love the demon art that comes in on the left side of the screen that matches with the screaming, it's such a nice touch. I also absolutely adore the last ship, despite it being incredibly unforgiving and deceptively difficulty despite its looks. The swingy nature of the ship combined with the vocals create an incredibly intense "don't choke" atmosphere that I love, and I honestly thing it's one of the coolest endings to any level that I've played in a long time. It's really hard to pull off an ending like this without it being incredibly frustrating, but Zylenox managed to do it!

Another thing I'll mention is that I see 0 reason as to why this isn't rated. Back when this was first released, I would've understood, as this level uses a NONG and was quite edgy for the time, but nowadays, levels like Triple Six and Collab Level are rated, and even featured, so I don't think those reasons hold up anymore. I highly doubt this will ever get rated, but here's to hoping, because of all of Zylenox's levels, this one definitely deserves it.

I HIGHLY recommend this level if you can handle how ridiculously hard the final third of the level is. Like I said, the level is insanely consistent after a while, so eventually you'll get to the point where deaths in the 60s and 70s barely phase you, so as long as you're able to understand that ending deaths with this level will happen, I highly recommend you give it a go :)

Next up for the Zylenox Level Marathon is Annihilation Nation! Out of all honesty this is the level I'm the least excited for, but I believe that it's the easiest, and it's pretty sightreadable so hopefully it won't take me too long. Be sure to tune in to my Twitch channel to catch the streams :)
