This is probaly one of the coolest survival Maps i have ever played. You start off on a little island (see pic). Your goal: survive as long as you can and complete different challenges. Some challenges are easy and you may get them within the first day. But there are also some pretty hard challenges. Can you finish them all?
I really liked the challenge at this Map. It's not that hard to find some ressources at the beginning. But you still have to look that you don't waste too much. Later its quite hard to complete all challenges and it also takes some time. For example: There is one challenge where you have to find and destroy 15 dungeons. I actually played this Map for 8 hours and i got 8 of them.

Tipp: Make sure you take care of your ressources :wink.gif:

You should definately go check out the Topic. The Intro alone is worth to take a look at it.
The Map itself may is not that good for beginners. You really have to take care about your ressources because you hardly find all the stuff you need. It makes really fun to play the Map and it's also a little challenge. Even if you play Minecraft since a long time. The Map itself is created pretty cool. Specially the Hideout and the Ruin.
And now...have fun! =D

+ Fun to play
+ Nice little challenge. Not hard, but also not that easy.
+ It's not really a short Map. It takes some time to complete all challenges
+ The Hideout and the Ruin are awesome

- At the beginning it's a bit too easy to get ressources

Note:
I played this Map on Version 1.1!

You start off in a room with some signs. The Signs are telling you the rules and what to do.
You will go through different stages and every single stage got it's own challenge. Sometimes you have to fight, and sometimes you have to exert your brain. After every stage you will get some new ressources which will help you on the way through. Actually the Map is quite short so you are done in about 20-30mins if you read every sign. Also there are still some writing mistakes on the Map or signs who make it to easy. I already reported that things to the creator of the Map so it will be fixed in future updates.

Tipps: I recommend you to wait till Update 1.2 is coming. Play at least on Normal difficulty to make it more challenging.

Actually the Map is a bit too short and too easy. But that's not really negative because the Map is still getting updated and fixed. It's a lot of fun to fight against all the mobs and survive 'till the end. I also like the idea to give new and more ressources after every stage. Probaly you will get a bit too many of each so it makes it a bit too easy. So if you like a little challenge...don't take all ressources with you and set the difficulty to at least normal :wink.gif:

+ Starts off easy and gets harder every stage
+ New Items/Ressources after every stage
+ I like the combination of Mob Fights and brainstorming at the same time

- Some writing mistakes
- A bit too short in Update 1.1
- Sometimes a bit too easy

Download: Not yet. Wait for newer Updates!

I played this Map on Update 1.1 and my ratings are based on that. Probaly the Map is going to be harder and funnier with new fixes. I also think it definately worths a download as soon as the Map is bigger =D
