Special Operation Force

About This File

You are Sgt. Kebo Ludo. Member of the elite Special Operation Force left alone in a strange world.

You have to solve how to get to end without being killed. Not only by defending yourself against all the lovely monsters who want you visit them at HELL. Solve the problem of the Bounty, or the Atztec pryramid & the Phanton of the Opera.

I rely on the Shotgun, I think its the best all around weapon, besides Sgt. Ludo is too macho to carry a Rocket Launcher or a BFG. Those are girly-weapons. Besides solving how to get to the end of each level is sometimes not as easy.

Do NOT attempt to get 100% kills in all levels, if you do it means you cheated!!! If you like it, ket me know. This my second one, and do not know if I am doing ok.

Decent-looking maps with realistic areas (like a harbour with a boat, a shooting range, theater etc) marred by some absolutely hideously obscure progression.  This is the wad that made Kes get Slade so he could work out how the hell to get through it

Great idea but, I think, a discutable execution. The level design is "instable" and somewhat frustrating, there is no clue about how you may find your path, no brightness play, no texture play, nothing, you basically have to spam every wall. It's a shame.

Talking of E1M1 for exemple :

Keys aren't intuitive at all to find either, I had to look at the map on DoomBuilder to find out that the redkey is in a completely dark room :/

Also, boiling water all the place ? Kinda mean !

I appreciate the risk the author took though, alongside the fact that this wad is dated 1994, people don't tend to try things like this anymore those days, but still I can't just give this a 4 or 5 stars just because of that, there is objectively things that could had been done far more better, so 3 stars is well-deserved.

 

Try it yourself anyway, you will love it or you will hate it.

Wad is great, it features mandatory secrets, turning doom into an adventure, missing some textures though. I might make a remake. This is a great inspiration for wad making.

Got 100% kills, or within 5%, on all levels on UV and still had plenty of ammo at all times. But progressing here without an automap cheat would render it unplayable unless you enjoy pushing/shooting every wall. Merely OK overall.

OK, not bad at all, looks good but a few pretty frustrating bits of gameplay and not being able to get 100% kills is a bit of a Doom no-no... - pritch

This is close to being a very good episode, but there are way too many unmarked doors - and they are not even secrets, but places you need to go into order to make any progress through the map. Some slightly retarded crushers don't help the overall assessment either. 3/5, but it would be 4/5 without the annoyances.

      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.
