The textfile is liying at us since there's only one map instead of five (and why it has been wrote with the Doom numeration from E1M1 to E1M5?), but when i was in the mid of playing, i was thinking: "damn, if the other maps are long like this one, it will be a long night (and day)!". But then i just found that this map is just a medium/large techbase with some brick sections and the obligatory library section (even a little SKSPINE2 in a room, for don't waste nothing!), is a pretty episode 2 style of Doom 2 map, it could be perfectly a McGee map, with the tricky puzzles and the somehow challenging selection of monsters. The level flows good, with the expections of some obscure puzzles and a not really intuitive progression bar, some of the keys can be taken out of the room boundaries, sometimes the level is dragging for too long and the maze section is kinda pointless and annoying imo. But overall, this is not a bad level.

 

Ah yes, the executable in the zip are pointless. STUFFBUF.EXE i'm not even sure what the hell did and TRIAL.BAT crashes. You have to edit the folders source to your doom 2 folder in the bat file

Innovative large scale design,251 baddies,lots of unnecessary secrets,abundant bfg ammo,mostly unpredictable progression mechanism,decent difficulty(on UV) that big lava area shouldn't be skip-able.ending area is dull too for offering no final battle but a maze only with switch hunting...

Only one map instead of 5. Boo, hiss. Nonetheless, it's a pretty good fight.

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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.
