About This File

In the room with 'star', there is a guy looking exactely the same as you. I know that you're unique, but that's not a reason for shooting him down! If you want to, try to kill him; you will not survive to his death... This guy is a genetical copy of yourself which is locked up in a building so that the owners have full-control over you. The problem is that some people decided that you weren't of any utility to the society. That's the reason why they let the job of killing the copy to plenty of ugly and starving monsters. In fact they have two ways of successing in their glorious mission: killing the copy or, even better, the original. You do not have the choice: you will have to protect him from yourself and from the monsters. If he looses 100 of health, even if you still have 30 percent of your health, you'll die. But you'll have to be very careful because places that were cleaned up could suddenly become full of killers again.

þ Huge level and therefore very slow even on 486 66MHZ computers.
þ 'Living' level (what a paradox...) because of a lot of sectors tags (approximately 40)
þ No BFG9000

Rated as 1995 level: not bad layout, with two scenes strongly based on map24. Ambiance is ok but not special. The voodoo doll trick was quite fun at those times. Gameplay varies enough, and the player meets @ UV a lot of offenders. Nowadays outdated, but overall it gave in 1995 players enough fun for earning 4*.

This is an excellent level for mid-1995, and it's still good fun nowadays. The design is simple and there are plenty of monsters. The gimmick - a voodoo doll - is basically pointless, though, and the level is clumsy at times (you miss a lot of the monsters unless you go through the level twice). The new sounds are decent although they get on my nerves after a while.

      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.
