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.

A bit sterile in comparison to a lot of wads made before it. But otherwise a decent set. 4/5

I just noticed this at the No 1 spot on the ratings (as of this posting). Although I have never played this Wad (yet), I have a feeling that it deserves this spot not only for the game play, but for the author who we tragically lost to cancer. R.I.P. Espi; You will be dearly missed.

I believe that Espi was most likely an artistic genius, and this wad represents most of the proof. If you ever want to be humbled as a level designer, play this level set and marvel at what Espi does, all within DOOM2.exe limits. I laugh when I see people rate this any less than 5/5, clearly they can't understand its brilliance. 5 stars.

This is the best wad for vanila doom, either that or Batman Doom. But seriously, what you made is AWESOME! 6/5, just perfect. This is truly the best wad ever.

A really impressive map set. I don't know what the few complaints are about. This is a really good collection of fairly big maps. I just wish there were more maps in it rather than just 4, but unfortunately with the author's death, that may never happen.

Ouch, that was painfully boring. I wonder if the only textures this guy knows is from like 1997... Also his favorite color MUST be gray! Puke-ish.... 2/3

It's a very good mapset, with an impressive design. But it's overrated for me, it's too short, and is not the best short pwad. With 32 levels maybe 5 star. 4/5

While the level design is a bit, um, plain, it has good gameplay and presents a decent challenge. A bit more linear than I like, but not nearly as bad as some maps (Simplicity comes to mind). There is just the right amount of ammo; not too much and not too little. It certainly isn't the best wad I have ever played, but it is enjoyable and worth the download. 4/5

      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.
