About This File

Your trapped on that infernal moon base as usual. You've gotten to the point where you take out most everything that comes at you without blinking. You've become careless. You round a corner and meet a hail of fire and gunshot, and you're dead. You wake in a dark hole, awaiting the time when the denizens of hell will come and take you away for a permanent more-than-luke-warm bath of fire. BUT HEY! Just because you're dead doesn't mean that you can't still kick butt! After all, going to hell for real didn't take away your shotgun (and they say you can't take it with you). You scrounge your way out of the dark hole and see a fortress in the distance. If you can reach it, then you can reclaim your lost soul from it's round blue container and free yourself from Purgatory.

This wad was created by a guy who would later work in the game industry. E2M1 is a quick, dull opener but E2M2 is a large map with 460+ monsters to blast through. The texturing is ugly, the detail is low, and there's an overabundance of ammo, but the map is really fun anyway. 4/5

Very tight game play here for levels from 1994. Level 2 offers various interesting traps and fights and the relatively low amount of cover can wear you down. The appearance of the level is also pretty cool, if rough, with that Gigerish texture giving the fortress an unusual "alien" appearance, and there's a good combination of relative darkness and torture-like textures inside. A minor issue is that you can get stuck in those rooms from where barrels come out in map02. [4/5] ~Chain Mail (03/2011)

The first level in this set is a short, fast-paced 'starter' level, so to say, with an interesting end. Good use of lighting and textures. The second level utilizes every element of the Doom game to it's fullest extent. Superb lighting and textures with a great balance of ammo, health, and monsters. These are extremely well-made levels that are definately worth downloading.

Umm these levels look like something that came straight out of the 94' archives, except the detail isn't even on par with that era. I will however say the gameplay is definately above average and will keep you moving..

This is dated September 1994. For something that's thirteen years old it's very impressive; well-designed (although crude), with loads of monsters, far more than most user-made wads of the period. E2M1 is a trivial nothing that fits the plot and makes you start E2M2 with a shotgun. E2M2 is huge and surprisingly tough. The design work is decent - good lighting, poor textures - but with a bit of polish it would have been a stand-out in Thy Flesh Revealed.

Fun to play. Yeah, I did it on UV; 100/96/100 40:07. Go me! (ok, had some hard times, so don't forget to save from time to time)

I clearly remember playing this wad from a CD compilation years ago. Good maps; they feel sort of Episode 4 styled (though they by all means predate E4.) The design is right for the map size and play is fun (well-balanced.)

      Unloved

      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2

      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

      The Revenant Problem

      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.
