About This File

Wow! My first Doom2 WAD is finished. And a more serious attempt to create interesting shadows and visuals, hopefully also challenging and not confusing gameplay (it's hard to say when you have played this WAD during beta testing for the nth time and you already know the exit ;P)

Normally, I had much more ideas for this WAD, but since it had became already enough large and I was already sattisfied with what I've designed so far, I decided to finish few more important parts and release it.

But finally it's here. The name of the WAD came out because today I am becoming 26 years old. BuDrum comes when I thought about my BirthDay, BD came in my mind, Budrum almost means Dungeon in greek, although there is mostly a base setting here and then perhaps few small dungeon halls.

There is no story. Just some attempts to do various impressive(?) lightning and shadows, a rather large map with lot's of secrets, monsters and dark areas (Perhaps this will tire some players but I just came into it to create some atmosphere and I was bored to change the concept).

Try HMP, it's really fun!!! =)

This wad was pretty uneven. Some areas had very nice lighting effects, others were fully dark or light. Some areas had good detail or gameplay, others reminded me of 1995-era levels. Still, overall I had fun with this level, so I'll be generous and give it 4 stars.

"ZDOOM is recomended, some other ports fuck up few of the texture alligments". No. zdbsp fucks up a few of the texture alignments, but Zdoom ignores the information from its own nodebuilder in this respect. Still, it's not a major problem here. The map is OK, but rather too easy on UV, and the action is certainly not non-stop. Some nice design touches but few surprises.

Not bad for a level built by a retard. Optimus often gives a 5/5 score for a pathetic joke wad. So I will reciprocate. 2/5

Nice for first time. Some good lighting work. I hate wolfenstein soldiers in doom. If u try to make some good atmosphere with shadows these bright blue soldiers terribly spoil it. 3/5 Damned

Ok I guess, but flawed. I ran out of ammo at one point, and there are lots of areas that are simply far too dark. 3/5 FP

It's an okay first effort so +1 star for that. Still it has some powerup placement that doesn't make sense, it's painfully linear and I thought it was rather boring to play. 3/5 - Belial

      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.
