Vrack 2

   (23 reviews)

About This File

This is a giant space station in the gray and tech theme. It is crumbling with hellspawn and filled with deadly traps.
This is a little more like I wanted to have the original Vrack. More detail, more metal, more big enemies, less linear. I have spent a LOT of time with this level, so I hope it gets better than its precursor.
But it was a very hard mission. Vrack was believed by many to be one of the best levels ever created. In most aspects, I think Vrack 2 improves over Vrack. But there are some things, such as the caco intro in Vrack, that in my opinion were perfect - and really hard to substitute :| ...
Still, I hope you will find this level enjoyable!

A map I discovered ages ago and still play quite often. This is one of my favourite maps. I love the aesthetics of it - tech/space station. It is much bigger than the first vrack but basically the same, but better. It's fairly old school in style (no slaughtery bits) but can get quite hectic. There is quite a bit of searching and backtracking when looking for keys or switches, but that is no issue usually - especially as the level design and architecture are superb...

 

A definite one to play.

Very nice map, only the end-battle could have been bigger, and there are some mean ambushes. Apart from that it looks and plays great, and you gotta love the cacos owning the cybers :) 5/5

FFS, there's a whole bunch of links near the top of this page. And 5 stars, of course.

Good map layout, texture use, decoration & ambiance. Great gameplay @ UV is challenging with plenty of smart traps (f.e. yellow key vrs 24 revenants: looks impossible, but is quite easy); however, due to the map size the fights gets a bit repeatable, not the least because of the time it takes for causing infights again and again. Cacos versus cybies fights are fun, spiders vrs arachnotrons a bit dull. Overall: solid 4/5.

Almost as good as the first. Or in other words, another excellent level that follows on quite well. It's tougher than the first Vrack, and a little bigger too. Plasma is hidden well on here, so look out for it. Still worthy of a 5 because the fun factor is in spades. -TRRobin.

This map was ok but not that good. It's overhyped
and not as detailed or well designed as people say
but maybe enjoyable to play through if you're bored.

Much better than the first Vrack. Excellent clear design, no monotonous sections, coherent theme, monsters everywhere, couldn't be better.

Whoever wrote that first review obviously hasn't actually played the map.

      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.
