I finished up clearing out my stash tabs from the Ambush league, so I felt like I should run a map to celebrate.  I also had one more dungeon map than would fit in the space I'm using in the stash tab for maps which made the decision of which map to run fairly easy.  This was my first dungeon map, and I have to say I liked it.

One thing which was cool was the music which plays throughout the level.  It the music from the Brutus fight, and hearing it the entire level makes everything seem exciting even if you're clearing areas easily.  The dungeon map looks a lot like the prison, but the pattern of rooms reminded me more of the layout of the crematorium.  It seemed more labyrinthine than the prison, so it was harder to tell if you had fully cleared a section of the map.

Servant of a Burning Fire is so ridiculously easy to play, I don't have a good feel for the difficulty the map boss, Brutus (like you would expect from the music) would present to my other high level characters.  Servant emptied his health bar quickly resulting in an explosion of yellow items on the ground.  I'm running increased item rarity on Searing Bond, and I think the amount of loot gained reflects this.  On top of the currency, I scored two higher level maps, so this was a very nice run loot wise.

Overall, my first impression of the Dungeon map is quite positive.  The crypt has an easier layout to navigate and similar monsters, but the music gives this map great atmosphere.  This map is similar to the orchard in that the map boss has his own room, but Brutus didn't give me nearly as much trouble as the worm boss on Orchard has.
