About This File

This is a "plain vanilla DooM ][" PWAD of maps 1-11.

I tried to put the player in the city as best as posible. E-mail about your opinions. All info will be welcome!

I'm currently working on converting and expanding these maps & making new ones for ZDoom. (All 32 maps)

Doom 2 has left the community with an impression of what city maps are like. Boxy rooms that do not flow into each other and aesthetically unpleasing. City of Doom continues this design philosophy and drags it out over the course of eleven maps. In this level set you will find all of the aforementioned ideas of what a city level shouldn't be in addition to large open rooms that tend to plague amateur maps. Had I played this wad back when it was new and better city maps didn't exist then my opinion would be different, but better city maps have came out in the last twenty years so I recommend you check those out instead.

I generally like city maps on DOOM but this set of maps are one of worst I've ever played. Extremely confusing maps, obtuse progression and on top of that there's no enough ammo on UV to kill the monsters. Gave up on MAP 06. It's utter garbage really, you should avoid it.

VERY good wad, level 2 is probably the best of the bunch, the firefights are intense and the action never lets up

Atmospheric city levels for fans of exploration, trying to figure out what the last switch did, etc. Fantastic music selection, makes getting lost much less frustrating. I agree with vdgg in that the first few maps are the best: after that the novelty kind of wears off and the quality lowers too. Unpolished and weak at times but at least the first half is enjoyable and unique in my opinion.

This is the author's one and only entry in the Doomworld database; a Google search reveals that he is now a Scientologist, so perhaps he doesn't have time for Doom any more. The levels are very good. The design, textures, lighting etc are consistently interesting, and well up to speed for 2000; the maps are generally large-scale cityscapes with a clean, architectural sensibility. They're a bit wearying to play one after the other though. Six years in the making!

A very uneven WAD. Good/very good maps: 2,3,4,5 (a MUST play),7,10. Weak maps: 1,8,9,11, the last two because of horribly unbalanced gamaplay. The textures used are from very different sources and create sharp contrasts - I like it! Too little detail in maps 8,9,11. All in all, lots of fun and creativity, if you liked Obituary you should try this one. 4/5 stars, vdgg.

there were a few good maps but the majority of the maps were kind of boring and the music sucked. the textures weren't that great either. oh well, it was a beta so maybe the full version (whenever that'll come out) will probably look better. 2/5

For a mere beta this is great. At this late date it's not bloody likely that he'll finish, so I hope somebody finished it for him. Great taste in music, too

      Unloved

      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.
