I seriously think this is very underrated, especially considering there are other maps in DAC2005 that look and play a lot worse.

While using nazi stuff is usually a big no-no, I think this time their usage is not completely out of place, as you walk through a few nazi-themed buildings. Nazi demons? I wish the author elaborated a bit on this in the description...

Either way, the map's biggest problem is ammo and weapon placement. At the beggining I had to shoot at least 3 arch-viles using only a goddamn pistol. And, if I'm not blind, you only get the chaingun about halfway through the level (in my case, about 28 minutes in).

This map is TOUGH, and I mean it. The space is cramped, and there's a ton of monsters (half a thousand!). However, I have enjoyed it a lot once I got through the first few rooms full of hitscanners, and got enough ammo to stop pea shooting cacodemons and hell knights.

The map doesn't look bad at all IMO. There are a few rooms with odd design choices, and as I said, the design is very cramped.

About the boom compatibility... I don't know, I don't care. :P

I'd give the map 3.5 stars... if I could. I round it up to 4 instead. Maybe the overall rating will be compensated. :)

Nice design, but way too hard at the beginning.

One of the few poor maps in DAC. A mess, and *not* Boom compatible either.

This is dated November 2005. You fight 499 baddies in an intricate, detailed, but old-fashioned and random-looking Nazi techbase. There's a dearth of shotgun ammo and I spend ages pistol-shooting imps and cacodemons and then demons. Rather than becoming more entertaining as it goes on it actually becomes more and more aggravating until eventually (just past the mancubuses, at the bit with the rockface) I just couldn't be bothered to persist with it.

      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.
