About This File

This level I tried to get a tier effect. There are many hidden doors and Keys.(you will need 2) As in all my wads there is a hidden switch to end the level. Lots of bad guys a perfect level for 2 or more. Look for the key to open the hidden door that leads to the way out. Weapons availability You can get every where but remember teleporters have 4 sides... this means I can send you 4 a different way depending which side you use(BIG HINT) good luck let me know if you like it or hate It. (Chain gun, Plasma gun, Shotgun, Rocket Launcher)

A slight improvement over the author's previous maps (dminve/dmtele). There's still a shitload of ammo and health, with few monsters spread thinly over enormous rooms and areas. The courtyard and surrounding structures look decent; there are attempts at gameplay, even, with a Cyber fight at the end. Still, this pretty much sucks. You have to rely on trial-and-error to find vital doors, correct sides of teleporters, and keys (good luck finding the blue key without looking in an editor). --1/5

Yes, awful, and would be awful in Deathmatch. The blue key is easier to find with modern source ports that allow looking up and down. But the trial-and-error doors and multi-side teleporters are killers; this wad dates from a time when some people thought that the best way to entertain the player was to piss him off, viz Space Quest etc.

      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.
