Description : The latest successor in the TNT series. As known, you
will encounter a lot of ZDoom effects, neat detailed areas
and of course scripting :) (not included are the many surprises
placed in the map :D
Additional Info : For all of you guys who don't like my brown style: Don't play
this map in case you have ever taken a look at the "ikpack"
texture set. The only difference this time is, that the brown
colors vary and there are also some areas with white & black
color shemes ;)
Also, it is important that you know, that I have really tried
to change my quakish style of TNT2 back to a more doomish style
so you don't feel lost in one of those new 3D games. I hope I
succeeded ;)
Story : After fighting your way trough the Ogro Steel Armory Grounds,
you find yourself on the icey peak of the mountain. Now, your
way leads straight ahead the "Fortress of Damnation" where you
will find the last hell portal, the last source of terror on
earth. Small snowflakes fall down the sky and you can see parts
of an security building through the thick fog... but wait...
someone's is moving there... groaning...
Technical Important Info: Some areas are high detailed and the map slowed a bit down
with 1024 x 786 at my Athlon XP 2100+ (256MB DDRAM) so if
you encounter performance problems, try a smaller resolution
or buy a new pc ;)
New Monster Info : ||Soul Harvester|| - On the battlefields of earth, the undead
remains of some imps survived by gathering souls of their
blasted victims. Now, these tormented souls supply their host
with strong power and still try to escape their cruelly
dwelling. Help'em by using ur Super Shotgun ;) Be careful, these
black imps are stronger then normal brown ones.
||Hell Warrior|| - Don't unterestimate them. They may be not as
strong as a Baron of Hell but carry a strong titanium shield with
which they can protect theirselves and even reflect your projectile
weapons (BFG, Plasma, Rocket). Also, they have the ability to
shoot with their shield.
||Enh. Cacodemon|| - Fresh meat directly from hell: The new
cacodemons you will encounter at the icey combat fields
spit three fireballs at once at you. This performance
demands a lot of their vital hellpower and so on, they are
easier to be killed, though a strong opponent, more then
ever in swarms.
Be sure to encounter a few other enemies ;) I just don't want to
tell you everything :)
New Weapon Info : ||Flame Bomb|| - A very devastating weapon if you use it against
a larger group of inferior or superior demons. When the Bombs explode
they have a very large damage radius, a high damage rate but are not
as dangerous for you as the rocket launcher is (unfortunately also
not as strong as the rocket launcher), nevertheless, you will love
the weapon ;)

By D3rpyD00dlez · PostedI 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.
By LouigiVerona · PostedWriting 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
By Ofisil · PostedA 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.
By MrSkeltal · PostedGenerally 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
