Map layout: varies between 2-3.5*. Decoration & ambiance: 3.5*. Gameplay starts not not good with the cacos and the bunch of lost souls (2*), but the ridiculous AV flood leads to a full point subtraction because continuously having to run through teleports is not funny anymore after 5 minutes, so 1* awful. Seriously, this horrible monster placement ruins a potential 4* map. As gameplay is imho the most important aspect of a map: overall 2*. It's a pity...

If you're confused by the start, you need to press one of the switches on the pillar that has blue\/red/\yellow switches and also a normal one. Anyway, what a unique level! It's sort of like Skulltag's Invasion mode but in limit removing format. For the arch-viles my strategy was to keep teleporting all the time (like after every 2-3 shots) and it worked fairly well. The rest was definitely a lot more relaxing but still kept me on my toes. A very cool experiment in gameplay.

Nothing too special, gameplay as usual, architecture is very good and reminds me of Thy Flesh Consumed. Give it a go. 4/5 ~havok2000

This map is great fun if you can stand the archvile heat! :)

Turns out I can vote again after all. Personally, I enjoyed playing this well-thought-out and creative map. Some monster fights 'slow' the action, but there's a reason behind this. Play it to find out what it is :)

A good looking level with good, fast paced gameplay. The most realisitic of the Monolith wads, with some excellent architecture. The Exit room still sucked. 4 Stars -PC

The archvile part was pretty hard but a fun level. This level is worth downloading now. 4/6/07

This is such a well produced map. You remain one of my favourite mappers of all time, Richard. While I might have wanted a stronger and more coehrent theme texture-wise, this is an amazing effort in terms of making a small, relatively simple map provide great non-linear gameplay (well, somewhat) and it looks like it would kick ass in deathmatch too. Very impressive. The somewhat schizo texturing and anticlimactic ending nudges it down to 4 stars. /Ola Björling

This is a meaty, manly level. If it was a woman it would be Fatima Whitbread. The map has lots of fighting and some simple-but-good design, with nice light sourcing in places. It's almost a kind of slaughter level, pitting you against waves of baddies in a large complex. I would ditch or tone down the archvile fight near the start - although you can skip it by hiding behind the pillars. One texture misalignment, at a lava pit in the NE.

C'mon. Where's the fun in havin 15 archviles teleporting-in the level? This means either complete failure or standing behind the bars and using hit und RUN 200 times plus save/load and so wasting too much time of my life. Too many hard monsters (at least on UV) otherwise okay.

Creative design, but the gameplay is worse. I was quite confused at the beginning, but then I understand the system. The number of Archvilles was quite unfair. 3/5 - Damned

Suddenly the series gains suction momentum, spawning 10 archviles on my sorry butt I didn't find that funny :| Meh.

      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.
