This is a clever one, for a 1024x1024 contest from nearly 16 years ago. 

 

It's obviously based on Entryway -- the opening for instance has a path behind you containing a chainsaw, and stairs in front of you along with some zombiemen -- but twisted into a 1024x1024 pretzel and quite aggressively reskinned. Since it's heavily reskinned, and infuses completely new concepts into the design, like a computer room with Doomcute computers and keyboards and mice taking the spot of the "armor room," playing is a fun little game of recognition of both old spaces and what thoughts might have led to the new look. Some playfully creepy music plays over the top. 

 

The action is mostly what you'd expect from the slot, and hardly anything to write home about, but there is a revenant and baron and I had fun distracting the baron and then going to town with my chainsaw on its butt. The map does commit the 1024 layout sin of trying to cram six whole rooms into the playable cube, but the "mini version of some other map" pattern is an excusable place for that.

 

Baron ass out of 5.

Nice little level. The trouble is that getting the blue key is a little tricky, and what's with that non-functional door in the room with the automap? If anyone knows how to get it open, you're a better DooMer than me.

Good fun, and cute too. Apart from the baron teleport at the end it works in Jdoom as well. It's recognisably a modern version of Doom II level one, although it would be rubbish in deathmatch (whereas the original was fab). One of a handful of levels to have a toilet in it, and not suck.

A very nice remake. I enjoyed the way the creator increased the gameplay level too by using stronger creatures.

A nice enough map, though there's no challenge, and a few more of the areas should have been secrets, especially those that are essentially equivalent to ones in the original map01. It could (and should) have been kept as needing only a limit-removing port - the baron teleport could easily have been arranged without using Boom features. The music is weird, but at least better than the original. Deserves 3.5/5 overall.

That was a pretty good map IMO. I always hated map01, but this wad really souped it up. The detail was pretty good, and you made good use of Entryway's secrets. My only complaint was the music. The music REALLY sucked. ****

Very clever ideas, some amazing construction ideas not seen anywhere else. I won't forget this in a hurry. The gameplay's way easy but it is Map01. 5/5 -jj

I rarely enjoy 1024's that use thin walls and curves to squeeze as much playing space into the map as possible, but this is very nice. 4/5 - 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.
