About This File

'Fear Complex' is a large single player/co-op map based on DOOM Episode 1 styling cues.

Episode 1 has always been my favourite, so this is my way of saying "thanks for all the memories!"

Being an E1-based map you won't find any cacodemons or lost souls floating around, you can't get the plasma rifle, BFG or certain powerups, and there aren't any cyberdemons lurking behind closed doors ;)

This is my first 'serious' attempt at making a DOOM-based map, and it probably won't be the last. I've pissed around with EdMap, WadEd, and DCK before, but that was around 6-7 years ago. I have done quite a bit of mapping for Quake and Half-Life though.

It was fun not really that challenging though given its an E1 style map that is to be expected. It is rather huge but not too huge that you can get lost.

From October 2003, a faithful recreation of the E1 style writ large, with 300+ baddies. It's spooky when you IDCLEV from E1M1 to E1M3, because the scene is so familiar. The gameplay throws a lot of weak baddies at you, and although it's not hard there's plenty of shooting. Plus an old-fashioned emphasis on blowing up monsters with barrels, which is still entertaining all these years later. Odd secret placement - some are after the final battle.

Being a E1 tribute, this map only has E1 monsters and is too easy when played normally. Fast mode is a must to really appreciate this map and when played this way, the intelligent monster and item placement becomes apparent. Architecture is superb and one really gets the feeling of wandering around a huge "Fear Complex". Keys were used in an interesting manner. One feels that with a little work in beefing up the monster load, this map would be really memorable. As it is, it's pretty darn good.

Not much of a challenge on this map at all, unfortunately. There was too much health and ammo. The layout is odd at times, forcing you to run across the entire map after obtaining a key to search for the door. There are no hints for the secrets, and most of them are at the very end of the map when you no longer need powerups. The detail and texture usage isn't bad, and there were no obvious technical issues. There just wasn't anything special or unique about this map.

      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
      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.
