About This File

This level is basically a large arena where you get to test your skills against all the monsters, and very large amounts of them too. It's meant to be completed without saving, but you probably have to train and try different tactics before you manage that. The order in which different monsters are released is very non-linear, and you need to find the order that works best for you. This gives the level an element of strategy. Unless you play at the easy difficulty settings, you will not get enough ammo to kill everyone yourself, so you need to get the monsters to kill each other. This is everyones fight against everyone else. Will you be the survivor?

Note that the level is located on map29 (to get the right sky and music). Run with -warp 29, or use the cheat IDCLEV29.

Wouldn´t have hurt to put in more resources on UV, and the archviles near end are an overused clichee, but I like these kind of maps so 4/5

Basically it's "Serious Sam Doom", a large square arena into which a load of monsters teleport. Fun on that level, although there are lots like it, and it's marred by a too-long introduction that doesn't fit the rest of the level. It's easy to get trapped underground in this bit if you are too enthusiastic when hunting for secrets.

      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.
