About This File

So here it is: Paradox, E1M2. Where Showdown only included my favorite four of the baddies, Paradox has them all. (With the exception of the bosses.) Also present are some interesting plays on the usual constructs. As before, I spent exhaustive (No joke there!) man hours playing and playing to bring the difficulty to just the right point. It CAN BE WON, providing you bear in mind the following points:

1: DOOM has a save game feature...

2: Monsters shoot too, so watch your ass!

3: What sometimes looks peaceful and innocent is probably a trap! Spare no caution!

4: Ammo is quite transient; use only what you have to and be careful what type you use.

5: Moving objects are much harder to hit than ones that just stand there and let themselves be shot...:)

Once again, this level gets much easier with practice, making it fun to come in on a fleshing rampage once you get good at it!

Fun but defiantly average early map. It even has an elevated maze. Slaughter-lite at times as per mapper's track record, but not hard nowadays (my erection barely subsided). According to readme, was to have been larger but "it became obvious that such a file would have probably exceeded 100K" (!). It CAN BE WON alright. Readme Bingo: Mentions ST:TNG.

      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.
