The Forgotten Portals

About This File

You're making your way through an icy region and are nearly crushed when some ice caverns collapse. Eventually you make your way out only to find yourself trapped in a long deserted temple complex. The gates are enchanted and cannot be opened. You decipher an inscription that tells you that you must pass through three portals to remove the barriers that will allow you to leave. : This is a one-level "mini-hub." You'll need to complete each of three different areas (order doesn't matter) to finish it. : To run it, you'll need an enhanced version of the Heretic engine such as wHeretic. You can download it here: http://www.raven-games.com/wheretic/

Superb. Challenging but do-able

The idea of 3 mini-levels in one sounds nice, but there are several problems with that : each level has its own style, but suffers from repetitive texturing; and giving all weapons in start makes it kinda too easy given the 3 areas themselves, filled with too much ammo (skill 4). However a bit of level rework can make it really good and challenging. For now, 3/5. ~Naan

Once upon a time, this was one of the first maps I downloaded and played from here. I thought it was amazing then. Now, I see how it's flawed: never really enough monsters in one place to make death seem imminent. I played the "cliffs" area first, so I got the Phoenix Rod early, which should have been replaced with the Mace anyway because there is not a single boss enemy.

      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

      The Revenant Problem
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
