Suspended in Dusk

About This File

A set of four levels, which all push the limits of the good ol' vanilla Doom.

If your computer refuses to cooperate with doom2.exe, I recommend Chocolate Doom: http://chocolate-doom.sourceforge.net/

Has also been tested and found functional on ZDoom. Other ports may or may not break some effects. I really don't recommend playing this on a 3D-accelerated port.

It's been a while since I've had a WAD truly blow my mind. Chock-full of "How the hell did he...?" moments. Gameplay isn't quite my favorite, but I really don't care. So atmospheric and engine-stretching. RIP Espi. You were a great level designed. 5/5 -Snakes

Well, this guy certainly loved grey... the gameplay was nice and challenging, but oftentimes I was confused of where to go next and sometimes I didn't know if I have been in a place before or not because all corridors looked alike. 4/5

5/5 I love the mapping, I love the fights. The detail is gorgeous and Espi has constructed a narrative with the bodies of dead marines and his usage of ammo/items in a way that both echoes verisimilitude and doesn't detract from gameplay. There's quite a few standout moments for me visually, but the fight that stood out was the giant teleport wave in MAP03. - KMX E XII

This is an amazing wad that still stands today. Definitely one of the best vanilla wads released. 5/5 no doubt. -TRRobin.

Truly awesome. As said somewhere in the skulltag forums, Suspended in Dusk will be his heaven. May he rest in peace.

Oh yes; I played it with JDoom and it looked fab. The second level had a bit of to-ing and fro-ing - I dislike levels that make you go back to open up a locked door near the start - but apart from that no problems. I particularly liked the unambiguously hazardous glowing waste textures.

OMG, a real Espi hype... Espi (RIP) was a great artistic mapper in his own style, but about gameplay he was absolutely not one of the strongest. Not only in these maps, but also f.e. in ed4_rfo1.wad map27: superb ambiance, but overall just poor gameplay. If you like absolute topmost gameplay, try ED4-RfO maps 11-13 made by Chris Couleur, these are lightyears ahead. Not only for the gameplay, but his spectacular layout & detailing is fully functional. Which is very rare. Overall 4/5, solid but not legendary.

I've never seen such perfection in a Doom wad before... Words cannot express my love for this wad, a definite new favorite, and be aware that it takes ALOT for a wad to make it into my "favorites" collection. A hero you are, Espi. ***** -EarthQuake

Tremendous effort! Good detail & layout. A bit over done in some areas...repetitive details without functional purpose (over abundance of support structures--this place will never collapse!). Custom graphics were very cleverly designed. Gameplay is great in most areas...but lacks in others (repetitive/predicta ble style fights). Too much back tracking and getting lost...and sorry, but the new sounds are horrid. That aside, it's an amazing piece of work. Worth the download. Another one for my vault! 4/5

Those are exactly maps I love : big, non-linear, interconnected and complex with a lot of secrets ingeniously hidden. Not mentionning the huge work on the textures to complete and fit well with the standard Doom2 ones, and on the architecture of the base. An obligatory legend mapset (map03 being my favorite), 5/5. ~Naan

      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.
