The Demons' Hive

About This File

They're back. This time it's not the moons they are after, but Mars itself. There is a hive/colony on the surface, and you (lucky you!) have been chosen to lead the attack. But your company never made it down, and you are the only one left. You have some explaining to do.

Assuming, of course, that you can make it back.

This is the first four levels. I hope to have the rest of them done soon. As I finish them, they will show up at the ftp site on infant2

If you are the hack-n-slash type, you won't make it very far in these levels. Most of them require some thought, and a LOT of F6. However, I have made it through on Ultra-Violence to the end of Level 4, so it CAN be done. Good luck!

Four easy medium sized maps set in a simple spacious techbase/cavern setting with lots of small monsters (nothing bigger than a demon to be found). There are some problems with stuck monsters, and some sector faults, which hampers gameplay slightly. Otherwise the gameplay is decent -- classic basic dooming, with rising walls used for progression and traps. Secrets are needed to progress sometimes but they are placed logically and/or marked. -fast could be challenging. --2/5

      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.
