About This File

An rather large hellish themed map, with new textures, sounds, monsters. Pretty hard from start to finish, only hellish creatures are used here no zombies. An decent ammount of secrets to be found, great detail but not overdone. Have fun :)

It masterfully mixes survival horror (due to its dark, hellish visuals, and use of D64 sounds), with classic Doom action, giving you enough ammo to survive, but not so much that you'll feel overpowered.

 

Mostly challenging, at times a bit annoying, but mostly enjoyable, with the only major flaw being the fact that it is little content strethed too far: hit a switch, fight baddies x 100 in a level that feels the same from start to finish, with no feeling of progression (like a big battle at the end, for instance)

Another classic map from a great mapper. This is certainly challenging at times especially with those damn custom lost souls, but it was still so fun to play I kept coming back. 5* from me. -TRRobin.

Author shows a lot of technical skills. Ambiance is good, despite the quite rectangular map layout and a few hilarious design errors. Sadly the gameplay @ UV is not good. It's not too difficult, but way, way to repetitive, predictable and monotonous. After a while it gets more and more difficult to keep on being interested. Overall: 4.5 for the technical skills, 4 for ambiance, 2.5 for the layout, 1.5 * for the gameplay, so 3*. It's a pity...

Despite what a prior comment says, there are difficulty settings. HMP should be doable by most seasoned Doomers with a few saves. It didn't wreck my day, and I'm not that good on my laptop.

very extreme visual quality and PSX atmosphere. I like, but the extra monsters are quite annoying particularly the lost souls.

The architecture and layout is superb (maybe the layout is simple), the graphical aspects are good and so are the sounds... Sadly, the gameplay completely fails, as you may find yourself with no ammo, health and armor with each horde of monsters. If this aspect was worked in depth, would be awesome. 3 stars.

I just solved this in a sitting. I love the way it unfolds. once you get the hang of it it's quite easy though. huge amounts of ammo. maybe overcompensated in the 'update'?

Exceptionally groovy. Doom becomes scary again.

A huge improvement over Dutch Devil's first map. Whilst still symmetrical at times, the layout as a whole is much more interesting, and the ammo/health balance is a bit more balanced. It all looks good, with lots of decorate monsters, which I actually think are more detrimental to the wad than good. Especially those stupid over-powered stealth barons. Still, a really nice map 5/5

This was a much better effort than total control. Layout was highly improved upon. This should have been picked for the cacoward instead of total control. Thank you Dutch Devil! 5/5 -Superdavey

Looks great but is too difficult. Finished the game after 10 minutes of major annoyance. Lower skill levels are meant to be easier, you know?

Looks great, but plays very poorly. The light levels are ridiculously low in almost all areas, fights are repetitive, traps are way too obvious, some of the new enemies are awfully lame, thought some are good. 2/5

I'm surprised anyone had any real trouble with this. I really liked the ammo management before you get the backpack, at which point it seems like you have too much. I finished the level with plenty ammunition to spare, but that might be anecdotal. Loved the architechture, Doom 64 Sounds are always cool, and I liked the pacing. 4/5!

Holy Shit. Nice level ! Very detailed. Insane gameplay, hard new monsters very fast and annoying. Not an easy map. For the next one set at least two difficult settings. 4.5/5

The map is as fair and beautious as a lilly, however it's nearly impossible on UV, and the level progression a bit frustrating, so the gameplay experience was meh. Bearing in mind that it would be easier on lesser skill I'd give it a 4. I would advise dutchdevil to tone down the gameplay in his maps, because architecture-wise he's brilliant, the only other mapper zdoom which I can think of to be better is tormentor667.

Looks great, plays like ass. Tons of decorate monsters + little health/ammo + cramped areas + no skill levels = very annoying. You'd have to memorize the whole damn thing to get through it in one life, and even then you'd have to be lucky. 3/5.

      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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.
