About This File

Aquatic adventures with lots of islands / boats etc.! This is the first in the SYMO series, set in a nice seascape setting. Nice until Hell stepped in that is. You'd better do something about it then.

Interesting mysterious level where confusing progression only adds to the charm. Like most wads uploaded by Grazza, it shows a unique artistic vision and doesn't remind you of anything else. The map begins with a puzzle that I can't call fair or logical, but what follows is much better. Don't expect any exciting combat here, play it for the adventure aspect only.

Quite amateurish level with too many technical problems, alomst zero ambiance, and remarkably poor gameplay. Has a few potentially nice details, but they haven't been worked-out properly. Overall: 1* for the effort. BTW @ 3 above: giving this map 5* legendary can indeed be described with the word bizar.

I didn't finish this map because I was expecting an outdoor tropical island area with lots of water (maybe even some swimming)... instead all I got were a few dead trees, what could generously be called a creek and an otherwise mostly indoor level. This has nothing to do with the ocean. Gameplay's not bad, but nothing to write home about either.

Appears as if the map maker was trying to plot a murder massacre with just a pistol on some oceanfront beach somewhere, because there are no other weapons in this map whatsoever, & such could be the only explanation for making such a pretty map so senseless.

Some bizarre comments here. You quickly get a shotgun and a chaingun from the enemies, and that is plenty. It's a very creative map with some nice touches (e.g. "submerge" and "down periscope"). Tip: if you want to get the red key quickly, you can grab it (and escape) with an easy strafe jump.

      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.
