Sky Base

About This File

It is the future. Man has polluted the atmosphere to the point where we can no longer safely breathe it. Large, floating atmospheric reprocessors have been created to help repair the atmosphere. It will be a long process. A few years after the "skybases" went online, mankind got a big wakeup call. Our first (and maybe our last) alien encounter has happened. The alien race (thier names are unknown) have intercepted our transmissions that we make in every day life (TV, radio, ...) and have learned our communications, technology, languages, and our plight. But rather than help out, they would rather have the planet for thier own! You see, the atmosphere is perfect for them, so why not let us die out. They destroyed all but one reprocesor. The remaining reprocessor has been reverse engineered to cause more harm to our atmosphere. This must be stopped. Listening to thier transmissions, and logging into the skybase mainframe (for some reason, they didn't prohibit that), we have learned that many people who died on the skybase have been electronically ressurected to help serve them. Also, many traps have been set for anyone who tries to land and "be the hero". Luckily they weren't prepared for you! Your mission is to kick ass and shutdown/disable the base. As you circle the base in your shuttle, you see them laughing at you. Good ...underestimation allowed David to beat Goliath. Make the fuckers pay!!!

Very good map. Claustrophobic and mazy as a skybase should be. Maybe a bit too easy, but it shows some really nice ideas. 4/5

This is too funny. I was searching for my image in Google just to see what would turn up. Imagine my surprise when I came across a screenshot from this wadfile. I made this soooo long ago, and only ever gave it to one person. I guess it got around. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a blast to make. My intent was to see what kind of tricks I could come up with that I hadn't seen before. At the time, nobody could pull off a sky texture for both the floor and ceiling. Probably old-hat now.

This is dated September 1997. It's by Terence Burns, and was his only level. It's not bad - the layout and design are attractive. There's lots of action, but one big flaw - too many fiddly, unintuitive flick-switchy hidden-door puzzles (the yellow key, the bit after the falling corridor). The action is relatively simple, with lots of ammo, loads of health. There are some nice "electrical machine" bits. When I played it the ending went wrong - the cyber got stuck.

This is the best sky base type map Ive ever played. Great story but this looks like it couldn't took place where this is a sky station on Jupiter or any Gas Giant where the sky base station was attacked by the alien force. But yeah I guess that's something I could just imagine when I'm fooling around in the map. :/ Awesome piece of work!! 5/5

      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.
