About This File

This map is the sequel to Water City, and as such picks up where that map left off. I think I did a much better job with this map then the former, as the detail level is much higher and I've implemented a few cool traps and puzzles.

There are two crossbows right near the start, so that gives you a choice as to how you want to get your prized weapon. Some people didn't like fighting with the Elven Wand for long periods of time (as in Watercity) so I've 'corrected' that with this release.

If you play this level on Hard you're asking for trouble.. health is sparse, ammo is hard to get, you'll have to fight more then 150 enemies, and you may even be forced to use your staff! The challenge increases exponentially when you play on Hard, so don't say I didn't warn you..

There are several tunnels and teleporters which don't show on the map, and these are to enhance Deathmatch playablity. If you DM, I highly recommend you play this map with at least four players, as it's a fairly large area.

This map has no Maulotaurs, Undead Warriors or Weredragons. Expect to see quite a few Sabreclaws and Iron Liches however, and hordes of Gargoyles :)

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
