About This File

(for story, see COM-FUL2.TXT)

Type complex2 to begin. The DeHackEd patch changes the level names under the map.

Enigmatic Complex is a large wad (it jams up DEU 5.21 and BSP 1.2) that largely takes place inside a large complex. It is the first level of a new doom. It takes me around twenty minutes to complete with 100% on everything, so it will probably take you a little longer. The dificulty goes from easy to hard. In UV you should be able to make it through the fighting without too much trouble, but there are some hairy moments that will probably kill you when you first run across them. The "marble" area has 155 monsters. There was originally going to be a lot more to this level (like bathrooms, a mess hall, and secruity cameras), but I ran out of memory. I tried to make this as bug-free as possible without sacrificing parts of the level. I also tried to align every texture (manually). I didn't do one area with pentagon wall textures, because the damn things are to hard to align. Anyway, if you find any bugs, e-mail me. Also, feedback! Please give plenty of feedback! I'd enjoy seeing some demos of this level, too.

the level names under the map.

Enigmatic Complex is a large wad (it jams up
DEU 5.21 and BSP 1.2) that largely takes place inside a large
complex. It is the first level of a new doom. It takes me around
twenty minutes to complete with 100% on everything, so it will

kill you when you first run across them. The "marble" area has 155
monsters. There was originally going to be a lot more to this level
(like bathrooms, a mess hall, and secruity cameras), but I ran out of
memory.
I tried to make this as bug-free as possible without
sacrificing parts of the level. I also tried to align every texture
(manually). I didn't do one area with pentagon wall textures, because

- Unloved
  By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted June 20, 2024
  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 June 16, 2024
  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

  By Ofisil · Posted June 16, 2024
  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.
- Slaughterfest 2012
  By MrSkeltal · Posted June 15, 2024
  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 June 14, 2024
  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.
