About This File

A remake of the Doom Press Release. I have converted the maps from the Doom Press Release version to work with vanilla doom. I have also included the original unfinishable version of the Unholy Cathedral. The map from the Doom Press release.

E1M2 - Doom Press Release Nuclear Plant. E1M4 - Doom Press Release Containment Area. E1M5 - The amazing unfinishable Unholy Cathedral.

I suppose we have to review the conversion and not the maps themselves. This emulates the layout of the original maps, and it's easier to play than the original (available from Lee Killough's website). But it doesn't model any of the original Beta's pre-Doom elements - the slow-moving lifts, the pick-up items, the different background and the sparkly imp fireballs for example. So I can only really give it a couple of stars, because it could have been so much more.

I'm happy that this has not been the final release of Doom, lol. I hate the "Doom Press Releases", because they are unfinished AND awful. 1/5

Thanks for converting the levels, but the interesting parts of the beta version are mostly in the way the game behaves differently. Lee Killough did a much more comprehensive job in MBF's beta mode that emulates the beta behavior.

      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.
