About This File

The year is 2053. In the early 21st century, several terrorist factions became nuclear powers. In a play for world power, these factions set off a nuclear chain reaction between nations that resulted In a complete and utter destruction of society and life as we know it today. Mutations, chaos, and terror reigned for years. As people pulled together to form new ruling bodies, they became aware of a group of powerful mutants gathering in a mountain construct and pillaging nearby enclaves. You have been trained and equipped to enter the mutant's area and destroy it.

Poor map layout, spare texture use, poor decoration, poor monster placement, and poor gameplay @ UV. Even the switch near the cybie could easily be pressed without killing the cybie first. In other words: playing this very amateurish map was a complete waste-of-time. Overall 1/5.

This is dated January 2001, although judging by the readme it is older than that (and incompetently made). It's pretty poor. You get 44 monsters including a cyberdemon, but you have loads of ammo, and the BFG. The layout is pure 1995. The map is dominated by a huge final room that's almost completely empty - there's no "final battle". The gameplay is bog-standard and it's no fun to play.

      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.
