Wedge

About This File

I created Wedge for my own personal kicks. The level is elevator intensive without becoming unplayable. The level contains all the gut-splattering and limb severing weapons that DOOM has to offer, though some are easier to get than others. Originally designed as a single player game for people who think that ultra violent is a day at the beach, WEDGE has proved itself as a KILLER modem deathmatch level. (This was the consensous after SEVERAL hours of playtesting, and too many hours for me to mention of fiddling.)

Non-linear, challanging map. This is pretty awesome for a 94' wad. Even if dull in some places.

Ok, it's old, very old, and I'm old myself... But it's pleasant, well designed, and the gameplay is fine. Easy, too easy, but well done for this oooooooooold time!!! Give it a try, and you'll have some fun. Forgettable?!? Oh no!!! Not forgettable at all!!! I already played it 6 years ago, and I still remember it. I give it 4/5 to balance and to obtain a 3/5. - Jive

Everything Jive said, minus the redundant punctuation. ;) Some oddities: three single-sided linedefs have the walk-over-once special set to lower the walkway to the BFG secret, another single-sided line has the teleport special. Fortunately, none of them affect the gameplay in any way. Be sure to keep the Caco or a Zombie alive in the yellow-key room if you want the monsters open the red-key door from inside for you. 4/5 - N_A

This is dated April 1994 equals very old. It's E1M1 and you fight - or blow up with barrels - 81 baddies in a fairly crude techbase that has a circular deathmatch air about it. It's not bad, and surprisingly tough, but feels a bit short and pointless, and suffers from a "monsters open locked doors" bug that can help you get the yellow key in no time. Has a lot of secret stuff you'll probably never see or indeed need.

I thought that Wedge was pretty good for a mystery map! I think that pro doom players will really blow through this but if you're an the average doom player, you'll enjoy it. You can watch me play it here: http://youtu.be/Tw0x fK4vb-U

Interesting for 1994, but it's pretty hard if you don't get the BFG in an easy-to-miss room. The texture alignment sucks, but the layout is very good for its time. 4/5

Interesting map, very playable. Recommended, if you are like me and enjoy oldschool wads --- 4/5

For an older WAD this works out okay. I think it would be bearable in DM as well (as the author himself claims). Texturing is not good, but at least not offensive, and there aren't too many idiotic, completely dark areas, as you will often find in maps this old. The fights are small and easy, but there's a good fight involving crossfire from a pack of cacos and a pack of barons that you might easily miss. Forgettable, but all things considered I've seen much, much worse. --2/5

      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.
