Playability notes: Requires ZDoom-based ports. It can be finished: you may have to do some unexpected backtracking.

 

The Community is Falling is an amusing jokemap, fitting neatly into its time period from the perspective of the mapper, and manages to hold interest long enough to be entertaining. There is the occasional cinematic to wait through and the general layout is nothing special to behold, but it serves its purpose adequately. As a jokewad you may not expect particularly engaging encounters, but this one does try to at least give the player something new (if completely unexpected) as the journey continues.

 

Being a single map, there is a believable progression of difficulty over time: harder enemies, stronger weapons. What changes up in this mapset is the use of different enemies altogether, whether it be Doomguys of varying color (all of which have different weapons to worry about) or the "newbs" that are no different than Demons, albeit occasionally given a different speed. While the absolute number of fights is few and contained, rarely are the themes repeated, leaving the only tedium either in learning how to handle a fight or in the non-combat situations.

 

While there is enough variety and amusement in most of the fights, the major drawback is the final fight, consisting of what is essentially a Spider Mastermind with the hitbox of a chaingunner and around three times as much health. There is some modicum of strategy to be found here, such as manipulating their position until spamming rockets or plasma is consistent, but for the most part the enemy simply has too much health, turning this encounter into a listless endeavor.

 

I recommend a run through the map if you don't mind a few little cutscenes (won't take that long anyway) and if you're not interested in the final boss then MDK it to clean up.

Whoever said this level was lame should be shot in the head. Very comical, especially early on. If you like playing these sorts of levels, you'll like this one.

This WAD is neat. Really, it has fun enemies, the level is well designed and the stupidity of them newbs and trolls just amazes me. The final boss is tough, though. But this little joke WAD was cool to play through ! LEGENDARY

A very dissapointing wad for Kaiser stamdards. Definantly the weak point of the Kaiser_* series, given that the vast majority of this series is superb. Better luck next time.

Nice wad! Although I don't get the injokes, I do get good gameplay and this has it. It's as though John Romero and Oscar Wilde collaborated to make a Doom WAD. :o)

      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.
