About This File

A heavily Alien Vendetta Map10 (by Kim Malde, titled "Toxic Touch") inspired sewer map, initially created in roughly 110 minutes in early March. The map is mildly challenging, and there is one trap in particular that is quite nasty if you don't know what's coming (it's only so bad on UV). As I was not completely satisfied with the original attempt, detail has been added, textures aligned, and one room got a complete change in structure. The level of detail is still similar to that of Toxic Touch. Keep in mind that slime will not harm you, with the exception of the large pool in one of the final rooms.

Map01 is the touched-up version of the map, while Map02 is the original (with a few minor bugs fixed, however). Map02 has no skill settings, and so it is nearly identical to Map01 on UV.

Good fun, although not quite as hard as reputed; the very start and the last-but-one room are tricky, but the middle bit is so-so. The end is potentially hard but you can just run past it (you can run past the beginning, too, although it hurts). Oddly, the toxicity doesn't hurt. The remake reworks the toxic cavern near the end, and it also fixes the original's cheapest bit - a trap with an invisible barrier - and adds a new twist to the teleporting archvile.

Not as nice as the one I played before this, but still a pretty nice map. Kinda short but provides a good challenge. I got a little pissed off when I was playing this. 8/17/07

A small, but very difficult map. Surviving this is no means easy. Even though there are only 76 monsters, you get a good selection of different monsters. Architecture and design is very nice. -PC 4/5

A solid linear map. Monster placement and balance are ok, the map looks great. I can't help it but I prefer the original attempt. For me the gameplay was uninspiring and not fun. ( but the previous map I played was europa 1). 4/5 coldfusio.

I love Map01, but what's up with Map02? It's just a messier version of Map01! Must be a joke or something. Anyways, 5/5 for Map01.

A good small level. It looks great. It's definately better than some of your earlier maps.

I thought it was too short and underdeveloped. Take the theme of toxicity to the next level. Where's all the toxicity that's meant to wow me? It wasn't there. The map plays nicely, though for a theme like this it would have been better if the pace went more slowly.

Solid stuff, quite hard on UV but still possible. 2nd map didn't differ much from the first, so it's more like 1 map in the package.

Frustratingly difficult. A bunch of "Fuck you" traps and not much else.

Fine short tribute level (I played mostly the final version, but its good to see the more raw attempt included). It takes the theme and general style from Mutator's original properly and adds it's own pretty tough game play. I also like the connectivity between the areas, where you return to the initial parts at the end. Keep up the good work. [4/5] ~Chain Mail (08/2007)

I like those kinds of maps, small/medium size, nice and not extremely detailed architecture with textures I like in maps, good gameplay (medium difficulty) and evil traps. Reminds me of my favorite maps in the era 96-98. 5/5 - Optimus

This is a very small map, but has a nice atmosphere. It's a dark building with lots of acid streams, but they don't affect gameplay too much. Some easy to medium-hard monsters are populating the map, however I've played the map on skill 2 by mistake, which was only a mild challenge, but entertaining nontheless. 4/5 -Milian

      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

      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.
