About This File

It was discovered that the UAC has an underwater base, UB1 (information not previously disclosed to the Military). The UAC has admitted that early experimentation into dimension travel was moved to this location to maintain secrecy on the technical end. Experiments went off as planned with the exception of several minor mishaps with UAC personnel only. Hours before the the invasion of Earth, communication with the base broke off. There was no reported emergency but no one has attempted contact for lack of time and priority (after all, most UAC members were busy trying to save their own butts after the invasion). Top UAC officials believe that a rival corporation, WEEST Inc., having had more than one corporate spy "removed" from UAC, discovered UB1 and somehow managed to "gain control" of it from UAC staff. If this is true, WEEST Inc. personnel would be unprepared for the power and capabilities of the DTP's (Dimension Test Platforms) - they might destroy themselves and UB1 with them. As a member of Team Alpha, an elitist Military unit, you have been summoned to teleport to the dockpad, gain entrance to UB1, seize control, and repair the communication tower.

This is dated December 1994. It's hard to judge. The underwater effect isn't bad - you're basically in a dark room with a watery sky. There's a seabase that you can explore. The rooms are linked by cute passageways. It's a bit like Stingray. The problem is that you have an enormous amount of health and ammo vs just 36 weak monsters (and a spider mastermind, but you can BFG it). It takes no time to finish, and it's a shame it wasn't properly fleshed-out.

      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
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
