All 30 levels are just the same map over and over again with slight modifications to the monster placement and monster types. This is essentially a dollar store discount bootleg low-budget version of any Doom II MegaWAD.

What the hell is this crap?

Hmm... not too bad idea, but the levels can be finished by quickly running to the exit in a few seconds, so there is no gamepay. 1* for the idea, 0 for the implementation.

'One open room' is not 'thirty levels of carnage'.

Not bad. Play it with AEOD, it's fun with it. Trust me. Even though without AEOD it's still not bad, all levels have same design (-1). Good job with different monsters on each level. (+1) Also, the music is good but get some more next time (+1). Now, go ahead if you wanna make a sequel. 4 stars - Killer11223346 (Now known as TehRandomKill)

Great WAD! =P Question: Why were there two maps in a row with no monsters?

I've seen worse than this. Then again, I've seen better maps that have this kind of gameplay.

Yes, I get that the point is to shoot things. That is not fun when the fight is boiled down to circle-strafing around a horde in the same map thirty-two times. Vomit.

Simple. Not a bad attempt. Level 30 was ridiculously hard without cheating.

I am a big fan of old arcade games like Space Harrier and Smash TV, this does it for me... would be better though if you HAD to kill all the bad guys on each level before moving on rather than just being able to leg-it to the exit, it is too easy.

No words for this, the biggest complaint is that there's TWO FUCKING MUSIC TRACKS IN THIS WAD.

This WAD isn't terrible but the rooms could have been different for every level for a better challenge. I like how you made up for it by sort of doing a 1monster type of thing for every level though. Level 30 is impossible to get through without dying at least ten times in my opinion. It is the kind of wad that should be used with RGA 2 or RGA 3. - General Mike

Really poor. Just the same level for 32 levels, with poorly ripped Quake 3 textures. This is so bad it doesn't even belong on this FTP.

Some megawads or episodes built around a concept are in fact quite good stuff. This wad, however, is certainly not one of them, not even close in fact. It's just redundant to have a different monster over and over in the exact same room, thirty times. Did the author really think this would be a nice concept? I never would have. I can't think of any reason at all to play or even look at this. As such, no stars for you.

I feel that doom is usually just a big key hunt, with a few monsters here and there to try to kill you. But i like skulltag's invasion mode bettar than this. Plus all the maps for ST's invasion.

Yeah. There's a big difference between this WAD and arcade games - arcade games are fun.

Robotron, I suppose. The basic idea is a large arena filled with large quantities of mostly a single type of monster. Briefly fun on the 'zombie' levels, because they shoot each other for great justice. A slog on every other level. Odd lapses include level with single revanant, level with two revenants, etc; obviously running out of inspiration. Last level has no monsters. Levels 31 and 32 levels tribute to Wolfenstein, v. clever.

No, not 30 levels. One level, over and over. Like QUAKE, but retarded 0/5

      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.
