About This File

You're invited to a cookout. But this ain't no picnic! Prepare to fry some demonic butt as you claw your way out of the Star Chamber to find out what lies beyond. But keep an eye on your back, or you may be next on the spit!

This is one of those infamous "first WAD" attempts. As such it includes the usual hodge- podge of every idea the author ever thought of regarding a DOOM level. Yes, most anything regarding theme and consistency has been tossed carelessly over the edge of the abyss, with a spicy mixture of nifty puzzles, neat gizmos and cool structures proudly taking their place. It ain't French cookin', but it oughta satisfy a hungry Doomer for a meal or two. Watch for the baron's BBQ...and there's some fairly amazing graphic textures at the end...if you can make it that far. <8-)

Not bad at all. The first of the two levels is the most substantive, it’s a star-shaped area with most of the level taking place in side-areas. Ammo is initially sparse and you have to hunt and scrounge a bit to find some. Design is non-linear and it wasn’t obvious to me where to go. The level is reasonably fun. A non-mapping maze is near the end but is different enough that I found it more endearing than irritating. E2M2 is a simple boss level with tons of room. For the first level 4/5 - Sui Generis

Two maps dated September 1994. In E2M1 you fight 140 baddies in a typically eye-gouging early wooden dungeon, although crucially the action's not bad and overall it's nostalgic. Nice-looking maze at the end. E2M2 is a boss level that resembles Dis, but looks nicer, which admittedly isn't hard. Appears to have been the author's first and last levels - judging by the readme his mapping career was killed stone dead by sex. A tragic waste.

"Pretty darn good" sums it up. A wad with a good sense of fun.

Not a bad WAD, considering it's your first try. A few texture errors, and I even found a nukage floor which didn't harm me. -phlum

      Unloved

      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

      The Revenant Problem

      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.
