The Overcoming

About This File

This level can be somewhat tough, considering that if you don't find the (very well-hidden) single-barrel shotgun, you'll have to get around with just the pistol.

Interesting things to note in this level are a drainable toxic waste pit, a conveyor belt maze, a crumbling corridor, and a lot of colored lighting like in the PSone Doom games.

The Overcoming is what happens when someone decides to make an ZDoom map without understanding the fundamentals of Doom mapping. This level consist of long corridors separated by square rooms, each with its own ZDoom gimmick, populated by Imps and Former Humans. Now the later part is not inherently an issue as pistol only maps can be fun if well executed. See Community Chest 1 Map01 for example. Here in The Overcoming the level provides too much ammo for the amount of enemies present. I will give the author credit for attempting a pistol only level as there are not enough of those.

Spoiler

The creator mentions the shotgun secret is hard to find which he is correct in stating. It is located behind a wall that needs to be shot in order to open. However there are two problems, this is located in a seemingly random portion of a dark maze and there is no indication that spot in the wall is different from any other section.

Chocholate rain. This is a simple map that, as the readme points out, resembles the Playstation version of Doom a bit (there are coloured lighting effects but few details). Chocolate rain. There are 84 baddies, exclusively imps and zombiemen. Chocolate rain. There's a dark maze. The secret shotgun is hidden behind an unmarked door that doesn't open. Chocolate rain. It's basically a bog-standard, empty-feeling 1994 level with lighting effects. I like turtles.

You know, It's rare when a good simple wad comes around. I want more maps like this. ~Csonicgo

^ No need to put chocolate rain after each sentence and I like turtles at the end. Btw, 5/5.

      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.

      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.
