Vilecore is a easy difficulty megawad with a lot of incidental combat and almost no traps, which I find interesting. When you get a key or press a switch nothing happens, unlike the vast majorities of megawad I've played. The monster count varies between 150 ~ 280 in all the maps and I haven't found any bad map throught the whole megawad. Some players won't like the incessant pursuit for switches to progress but I don't mind them as long they aren't confusing to figure out which is fortunately the case with this megawad. Doom_Dude did a great job with these maps and I would recommend for a beginner or intermediate skill player, as expert players could find this one boring due to low threat of death.

Pretty average in my opinion, some levels are downright ugly while others are all right. MAP30 is not an Icon of Sin fight either >_>

Vilecore, a.k.a. the shining example of mediocre in megawad-making. you'll find nothing here that can truly be hateful, but there's just about nothing that stands out at all in this megawad. basically, you run through it, fighting off combat that is actually quite fun and doing the occasional search, backtrack, key grab, secret grab, whatever. nothing stands out at all here. because I'm more into gameplay rather than graphics, that's why I give it a better score, and I still recommend it since the visuals aren't everything. it sort of reminds me of Illuminatus, another wad that's similarly mediocre, but the backtracking here isn't as excessive.


I guess if there's one map to note, it's MAP15, because for some reason, one of the switches doesn't work (at least in ZDoom).

Nothing too special, still a great Wad to play, it could be more challenging though if the author placed more difficult monsters instead of just small packs of imps and hit scanners, and ammo is way too much overstocked, i personaly don't like to play a Wad where you run with max ammo for every weapon all the time, but thats my humble opinion, still its worth to check out 3/5 -Archy-

There is nothing terrible about this set of levels, but everything felt below average. The texturing was mentioned earlier, but the combat (countless one monster imp/sargeant/spectre groups) and design (rectangular rooms connected arbitrarily with narrow hallways for awkward backtracking, with almost every secret indicated by a slightly misaligned brown/grey texture) were more of a problem. Two stars for overall quality, one extra star for not ending level 30 with an Icon of Shit.

^ That's because Doom_Dude is still working on the sequel, you goofy goober. In any event, I liked the megaWAD. Visuals are meh but I didn't really grow tired of the gameplay. Do hope Doom_Dude posts some news/updates regarding Vilecore 2 though.

I like the brown one with corridors, empty rooms and stock Doom 2 music. The design brief must have been "use no detail and no more than three textures in the entire wad". I actually loved playing through this back in the days of splitscreen Legacy co-op, but Vilecore has aged very poorly. 2* for the 1-man effort, 1* for the memories, but this came out 5 years after Requiem and around a year after Alien Vendetta. The sequel never materialised. Of historical interest only. Sorry!

Not bad. While the maps may seem visually bland or monotonous at first sight, they're not that bad looking and they're mostly good to play. Gameplay is a bit easy but fun. Maybe less ammo in some places would have helped. The main flaw is that some maps trap you in places if you don't do what's expected (the start of map30, for example) and there are a bit too many inescapable damaging pits. Map23 can break vanilla due to a bad tag. [3/5] ~Chain Mail (08/2012)

My main gripe is that nothing really distinguishes any given map from the others. They're all just random arrangements of rectangular rooms with slightly different texture themes for each map. And the traps get really boring after a while. It reminds me of some of my first attempts at making megawads when I was newer to mapping. Still not too bad though, especially not for '00 to '03 era. I give it 3/5. -Aenima.

A good one-man megawad. Difficulty (never very high) and quality are a bit uneven, but there is decent gameplay throughout, and many of the maps are pretty cool. Map28 seems especially memorable to me, for some reason.

Honestly not very good. A megawad is a lot of work for one person, and conceptually this feels like it was rushed to meet a deadline. Bland and boring but not terrible.

      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.
