These maps blow ass.

5 stars. Not so much because it deserves it (it's OK but nothing special), but to compensate for the overly harsh reviews it has been getting just because it's made by ShadowRunner.

He asked for opinions in the forums. There are even comments about how to fix several things, though for some reason he didn't bother fixing most of them. Instead he decided uploading it half finished here with many design flaws left. Finish your work before uploading it here!

Poor Shadowrunner, he tried hard on his levels, and was cast out of the community. Shame. Stars for sympathy -5

Although the author has been treated perhaps too severely in Doom community, these maps deserve no sympathy. They are full of awful newbie mistakes and the author ought to stop uploading his levels until his mapping skills improve considerably.

These are stand-ins for E1M1, E2M1 and E3M1, respectively, in the spirit of "Fava Beans", "CH Retro" and "Classic Episode". Whereas those projects succeeded, this falls short. Why? Mostly, perhaps, because the maps too closely resemble the originals. Other than that (save from a few texture alignment problems and tutti-frutti effects) they're not all that bad. With a bit of polishing they could have been worthwhile; as they stand, they are of real interest for nothing more than nostalgia. --2/5

Unimpressive. They might have been cute in 1994, but not ten years later. The layouts have a bit of promise - they're not just identical copies of the originals, and there are a couple of new ideas - but the maps are generally inferior, e.g. the opening room of E3M1 is just a small square, the last half of E1M1 feels weird and wrong, E2M1 is a pygmy travesty of the original (which was one of my favourite maps).

Utter shite. If you were making Doom for the NES these levels might tax the system, otherwise they're just simply-made ugly noob maps. 1/5

      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.
