About This File

You are sent to infiltrate a secret computer base in the depths of a gigantic forest. Your commander gave you instructions to wipe out the new breed of mutant that is being bred there. Spectres! But, it seems that when you arrive, you realize that the enemy has let the Spectres get out of hand... They are rampaging everywhere along with their cousins, the Demons! So many, in fact, that all of the enemy soldiers have evacuated and are waiting out landing area for assistance... hundreds of enemy soldiers, Spectres, and Demons, but that is not all! To top it all off, there is a hellish maze of wiring that powers the base... and the mutants have invaded that also. Good luck!

This is dated June 1996. It's just on the verge of being average, but needed a lot more polish; the design starts off with an irritating switchhunt, and never really recovers. You have to escape from a courtyard early on by pressing a random bit of wall - some barrels form an arrow, but you've probably blown them up already. Then there's a maze, which is easy once you get the berzerk, because you just hold down the fire button. Very disjointed ending.

Ugly techbase with some other themes thrown in. There's a good opening fight in a sort of courtyard, but then it consists mostly of a maze with long winding blue corridors. The challenge is high, but in a bad way. Let's just say that if conserving health so you can survive a retarded barrel trap, or punching spectre after spectre in a maze with blinking, seizure-inducing light (such that you can't make out anything) isn't your cup of tea, just stop reading now... Hey, wait, where did everyone go? --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.
