Early ZDoom hub with most of the usual problems that came with the then-new format. The gameplay is barebones, the rooms are cramped and orthogonal, the colored sectors are eye-searingly oversaturated, and the stealth monsters don't really add much. Considering just how far ZDoom scripting has come in the 23 years since Hell Factory's release, there's actually a charmingly shitty quality to Hell Factory the same way there is for the most primitive 1994 PWADs. The "weapon" that blows the locked door open is the most ZDoomCute thing I've ever seen.

 

A major strike against this WAD is a game-breaking progression bug towards the end. There is a one-way elevator in the Nukage Area that leads to a locked room with a switch. If you avoid pressing this switch before leaving the room, then the door will not open again and you'll have to noclip to continue. This really should've been caught in playtesting, but most people will probably avoid it.

Well considering when this was made I think it is very good indeed, shame you never made a sequel

Better than Tei Tenga, but there is a bug on some map. Update code? ~3/5

I've started to play your level in gzdoom-1.4.0. After the message about the nukage area the player is transfered in sort of a hole in floor from where there's no way to escape. Hope you can fix this bug. Thank you

Not much to be thrilled about here. Wad is fairly easy to get thru, even on ultra violence and nightmare. Its worth playing once, but it isnt something you'll come back to craving more.

This was a really cool wad. The level design is excellent. The only problem is that you can move around and get injured during the cutscenes. 4.5/5

I would give it 4.5 stars, but I have to pick
between 4 and 5 so I just picked 4.

The second popular hub to come out, this one beats Tei Tenga in every way. It's a real shame only Hub 1 was ever finished. Anyway you've got to play this! 5/5!

I'll give it a 4. It's a nice zdoom hub if you're into scripted hubs. If not, than it'll probably bore you :) -TeH NeXuS

Nice work, reminds me of doom 3 in the sense that you have to retrace steps at some points. _Your Face

This is the spiritual successor to Tei Tenga. Same concept but this time level design and architecture are greatly superior, while the play is minimally at least as good. A real example of something that would practically be good and up to date even today.

Lotsa fun. All my favourite zdoom features, including my favourite sliding door. And excellent scripting. 5/5

Five Stars. Nicely done, except for one bug I encountered: Whenever I entered the Nukeage Area, I seem to be sunken into the floor, and I can see the main room of the destroyed base underneath the floor. If I idclip, I pop right up so it's not really a big deal to me. - Kochipahk

This wad is a classic. This is what got me into ZDoom. I downloaded this map years ago and it still holds up today. In the immortal words of Borat, 'Very Nice.' 5/5

To fix the nukage area bug on newer versions of zdoom, add +gennodes 1 to the zdoom command line. Enjoy your non-broken hellfact!

Support 3 bars came down and locked me in part of the sewer. Maybe a script is messed up. Other than that pretty nice.

I liked it a lot. Gets a little tricky at times, but it's a fun, high action level... few archviles, plenty of imps, barons, and hell knights. Perfectly balanced gameplay too.

All the technical extras are awesome. The gameplay could have been better, though. 4/5

This would be fantastic if it weren't for all those gosh-darn invisible monsters.

      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.
