About This File

A Doom2 wad so close to our store that after playing it a few times you may be a little nervous while walking through the real store. You might feel a little DEU ja va, that feeling that you've shot up this room before.

for a wad from 1997, it's not horrible, but it's not really good either. the blue key is hidden in a mandatory secret, and the vast majority of enemies, of which there are a fuckload of, are either hitscanners or imps with a few larger enemies scattered throughout (along with a SMM and cyber). the only real difficulty comes from the fact that there's very little health on the map.

 

i will say that the custom textures are alright-ish, and i assume that the map is actually accurate to the bookstore. i have no idea if it is or not tho, cuz i don't live in florida.

 

also, for some reason this of all things was the first pwad i ever downloaded. i have no idea why.

This is dated February 2006, although it's actually from 1997. It's one of a handful of old wads where the website is still around and still being updated, although it no longer mentions Doom. As for the level, you slaughter 284 mostly weak baddies in a miniature town-style map - really just two buildings in a field. It's incredibly simplistic but also therapeutic simply because you get a chance to mow down hundreds of weak baddies.

I guess it's ok. It's basically a pretty big bookstore(?) with a handful of baddies. Kids, reading hurts your eyes, don't do it!

      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.
