About This File

Always dreamed of being Ash? Well buddy, here's your chance. Gun down skeletons in the graveyard. Hack apart Deadites in the Pit. Blow away Bad Ash at the windmill. To put it in the words of the help screen: "Be Ash and protect the town of Arthur and make your way home to S-Mart. Armed with a torch, shotgun, chainsaw, and Winchester, you'll have the best Doom add-on experience ever made." 'Nuff said.

Really entertaining little mapset.

Pretty atmospheric, too. Greatly in line with the movies.

-Starting on the cabin in the...woods? In this case in the middle of a broken road to nowhere, we search the little cabin in search for clues, only to find the necronomicon! and things go bad really fast.

-Next maps we are on the past, on a castle,  and we need to clean this mess Ash's way. An interesting open ended layout that let us tackle the map in almost any way we desire.

Groovy!

-Third map is kinda collector like, the first maze are could be stright from Wolfenstein 3D, as its is just a plain maze with just some enemies at almost every turn.

Then we reach some kind of hub area where we need to fill the fountains with the bloods of all the enemies we slaughter on them.

Groovy!

-Fourth map is a boss map, not great design but interesting and atmospheric.

-Fifth map is kinda filler, as is really short. Anyway, there are some neat details in this graveyard. I suppose there is a trap as the primary gimmick of the map, where we need to choose from three different nocronomicons whats the real one. Besides that, the trap isn't taht hard, and adds some interesting details to the map like skeltons piles on the ground and enemies here and there.

-Sixth map is really huge medieval city like, kinda the residential castle, the details on this one are great, and the layout is really good. Secrets are neat and the map end with a boss encounter, so its probably the best map of the set.

-Seventh map is kinda short, too. We are on our way to a portal that lead us to our own time again. It has a hot start with almost every kind of the regular enemies. The bridges are a neat touch. Besides that, theres no much to tell about this map... save that it has a secret exit.

Playing it on DoomRetro it take me to the first map, thanks god i saved before.

I think it doesn't work much on the Doom 2 version of the TC, it should be removed i think :/

-Eighth map is on the present, and we are on our regular job at the mart, but the deadites follow us through the portal home, and now we need to clean this mess, too.

Thanks god there is a bed at the end of the map, we really needed.

-Ninth map, in fact, we sleep for too long and we are now kinda on the past?, future? Anyway, final map, nothing great.

 

I enjoyed it. Not as much as i expected but there are interesting details and layout to get inmersed on the premise of the TC. The sounds are funny and are taken directly from the films, so we can hear Ash's lines here and there to great effects.

It has potential to be far better, but the dehacked work isn't that great, as its seems to be kinda just a reskin for the monsters.

The weapons are OK, i think. They are in line for what is expected for the theme of the mapset.

What i really like from the mapset is the moody soundtrack it has. Great midis for sure!

 

Thanks guys for this Total Conversion, its plays like a charm!

''My name is Ash and I am a slave. Close as I can figure, the year is thirteen hundred A.D and I'm being dragged to my death. It wasn't always like this, I had a real life, once. A job.''

Awesome music. Groovy!.

Seems to be the same as the Doom 1 version, just with remapped levels.

I love Doom and I love Evil Dead. I should play this 10 years ago. Maybe I would like it at that time. Some of the new sprites are nice especially the caco replacement, but there should be some bigger change in behaviour of monsters and weapons. New music and sounds are really good. So we have here avarage TC with avarage maps and good audio. 3/5 - Damned

      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.
