MURDEROUS INTENT

About This File

The moon, the stars, the planets. Many nights you spent gazing skyward with dreams of what lay beyond the place you call home. Every childhood thought that you could remember was of going to outer space and exploring strange new worlds.

By the time you were Eighteen, the Earth was a paranoid society. Much of the resources that used to be used for space travel were now being used as defense from iminent invasion. This in mind, you decided to join the forces, and see some other planet. Mars would be great.

Your first job was security at a small mining outpost on Mars. Not the most interesting job, but the smell of Martian air was enough to make it all worthwhile. However, when unknown occurences started happening, and you started asking questions, the higher ups did not take kindly to this. You suspected that there was something amiss, so you packed a pistol with you on the latest assignment.

It was suspicious. Apparently, some beast had killed a marine only metres away from the outpost, and yet, this was the first you had heard about it all. As you lead the way, lieutenants Biggs and Wedge behind you muttered between themselves. You figured it was a trap of some kind. Now might be a good time to quit the job, make your way to the city and get off of Mars.

You here a click behind you, as Wedge readies his sidearm.
"I'm sorry I have to do this."
"Yeah, you were just getting in too deep where you don't belong."
Lucky for you that you had the sense to bring a pistol.
What now?

Cramped. So cramped even the poor monsters get stuck at times. "Hard" as in "frustrating" rather than "challenging". 2/5

This is dated November 2001. It is touch sensitive. It's very good, well-designed, and also very tough - the ammo is rationed and the designer has a thing for archviles, and the secrets are clever. It can be very frustrating because of the ammo shortness, and it's one of a few levelsets that's perfectly playable on a lower difficultly level. It's sometimes very irritating - the archvile/knight trap on L4 is unentertaining, the final level is fiddly.

The first archvile shows up way too early: I have the reg shotgun and the chaingun, but not much ammo. Poor design.

Good wad for the Doom gods. 5/5 but for very high skilled players only.

      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.
