Deus Vult

About This File

My first map.

A large, two-themed level created for Co-op, inspired by Hell Revealed and Alien Vendetta. Emphasizes large, well-choreographed fights. Exceptionally calibrated for Single Player.

Deus Vult starts you off in an underground tech base and will eventually plunge you into the depths of Dante's Inferno in front of your eyes. Difficulty holds up to the extremes of HR. Legions of monsters. 150 minute [estimated] par time.

The map can be played in two distinct configurations:

Config 1 - Split into four sublevels for people who do not have patience to play through large maps, or do not own a high-end PC (<1.8 GHZ). Also good for co-op play, since smaller levels lag less. Designed to be completable from scratch. *Runs from Map 01-04.*

Config 2 - The full monty, the unabridged version of Deus Vult, for people who likes big maps. Designed to be completable from scratch. WARNING: Needs an EXTREMELY STRONG LIMIT REMOVING SOURCEPORT. *Runs on Map 05.*

I think I'll play this every now and then to remind myself how NOT to do monster placement when I make my wads. I don't see how the designer of these maps could possibly think that they are FUN to play. You get a big old "0" from me on this one but hey on the bright side the levels look pretty.

Oh. My. God. I thought Hell Revealed was tough. This may well be the greatest, most epic Doom battle EVER. I'm pretty sure I only managed to win one of the big battles at the end due to sheer luck.

I have to give this 5 stars, because it falls NOTHING short of being legendary. This wad, despite it's gameplay flaws will be remembered for all time like the other great wads like Hell Revealed and Alien Vendetta. ***** -- EarthQuake

at first glance, i thought it was totally fucking nuts, but after seeing the demos i was able to beat it hmp with lots of saves. bloody fun, with some nasty gargantuan traps, that and the two massive cathedrels. five stars for 5 hours of ntertainment.

Definetely a legendary WAD in terms of ambition, design and architecture. It's extremely action-packed and hard as hell, but its breathtaking architecture and superb scale help make this one of the most memorable WADs ever. The first time I played an alpha of this, I thought, "too much, too many times;" now I realize that that's its strength. Despite its extreme nature, DV stands as an exemplary WAD in the tradition of HR and AV.

This wad is very visually amazing but the gameplay could have been better. The hell part of the levels looks amazing though. A VERY skilled first map. 4 stars -soft_haxorz

An utter mess of badly planned fights against an overwhelming crowd of incoherently placed monsters. Only the architecture saves it from being a complete failure. 1 star for the mapping but since it is unplayable that's all I can do.

Ugh. I had a long review written up, but IDgames sucks... *eyeshift* Anyways. It's good. Your map1 needs work, all the other architecture is good. Monster placement doesn't seem organic. Could stand more corridors, less open spaces. But very good. -Shaikoten

It's one of the most intrcate, badass, all around cool levels I've ever seen, but it was way too hard for me. I had to play it on god mode for a tour od the spectacle, but as an actual, playable level it's way beyond my ability.

      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.
