Under Neith

About This File

A sequel to Neith.wad. The title was suggested by NiGHTMARE. The theme kind of goes all over the place. I spent over a year on this map so maybe it isn't all that consistent. It's kind of an experimental design, and maybe it's ugly. I've spent too long looking at it to tell anymore.

Neith.wad was great fun - a simple clean design with an emphasis on berzerk punching - and this is similar, but larger and gloomier. There's the same emphasis on punching (lots of demons and spectres) and the design details are simple but cute, like a Lego set. It's not too hard, but the wandering design was irritating in the second half of the map, when you've killed most of the baddies; the automap is essential. Overall I prefer the original Neith, because it's less wandery.

A map that everyone should play. Excellent design and gameplay. - Kaiser

Excellent map that's a shining example of how to do non-linear layout and design. Only slight complaint is the tight ammo, but still I'll be nice 5/5

Very cool map. I had just done some 10 minute long ambient wave with some fuzz and klanging... It was just perfect for that map. Some of the lights had some weird trouble with Doomsday, they made some big holes to the ground or ceiling.

A worthy successor to Neith, incredibly well detailed. Good balance of berserk/chainsaw kills to weapon kills, I was entirely out of ammo at one stage, though got back up quickly. Probably the best Cyberdemon battle I've ever had. The plasma secret makes most of the Barons too easy, and you *need* the automap to find all secrets. Rocket launcher is useless, didn't fire it once. Though a bit of backtracking involved, which can be a slowdown as the map is so complex. 4.5/5

Hmm..it is a nice map though I can understand someone saying he got bored, the combat is mostly average with some really "gay" baron placement, but it flows very well. Personally I died at the cyber, and didn´t even bother to reload :/ 3/5

One of the nicest looking maps for Doom, Neith2 shines with the excellent custom texture usage, detail, and lighting. The game play is decent, with some ammo conservation required near the start. There aren't any big traps, unfortunately. Quite a lot of backtracking is required to find the keys and doors - something a few people might not find enjoyable. The map could have used more large, open rooms. It feels rather claustrophobic. Overall, a highly recommended map for the unique detail and theme.

A fun map to blast through.

This map is too long with too many abrupt changes to the texture palette. It should be broken into two or three levels, and even then the linear fashion of the design does get tiresome, as do the rather mundane fights. I suggest forming one idea and then sticking to that throughout the design process. This level feels like the author went on a creative wander; making rooms, details, and textures at random without a unison focus. I liked wareevil a lot more than this.

I love that irregular map shape, and all the Sargebaldy's style. Texture and lightwork is just excelent, monsters are a bit too obviously placed, and there are no traps (IIRC). Ammo isn't tight unless you shoot inacurately. I even had too much of shotgun ammo, though bullets and rockets were at 0. There's enough of health and armor if you play wise. And Doomsday doesn't like voids /methinks, and Sarge uses voids for different sector lightning in vanilla Doom. -ellmo

Gameplay was well balanced and ammo wasn't a problem thanks to the berserk near the start. For the final battles I didn't need all the provided rockets though, I had enough cells. There are a lot of little sector details, and the architechture is quite unique. You won't find many sectors (that are not lights etc.) that are aligned to the grid. There's also a load of different texture themes, you'll be walking into a fresh new environment every few rooms. -Espi

      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.
