About This File

"Dead Zone" is a new episode that replaces Episode 2 (just because of the music and sky). This is my first single-player episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Map 1 - Outpost Map 2 - Recieving Map 3 - Server Bank Map 4 - The Spiral Map 5 - Dead Zone Map 6 - The Sewers Map 7 - Power Plant Map 8 - Gateway to Earth Map 9 - Teleporter Research

Probably a little short but time wasn't my concern. I played through it and it seems to flow nicely. Map 3 isn't as serious as the others just because I wanted it to go with the music (Doom 3 inspired it). Also, in map 9, shoot the brown-metal line in the Cacodemon room to lower a teleporter. Don't jump into the pit because you can't escape it.

There's a segmentation violation when entering level four in Doomsday.

This mapset is too amateurish on all aspects for being enjoyable, and IMHO a waste of time. 1 for it as-is + 0.5 for the effort = smallest possible 2/5. BTW 4 or even 5*? Nofi, but this misleads the reader.

Sorry - didn't like it. Old school but rather sub-standard, there are tons of better old style maps out there. Also this episode has nothing to do with id=10181 which is in fact a much better wad of the same name (though just one level).

Wow, freakin' awesome! I mean it! I really enjoyed it... I feel you perfectly capture that undefinable "it" that makes Doom so much fun. The gameplay was fantastic, and as for detail - it was very minimalist, but I loved. You have a great way of conveying a sense of location without lots of detail. I know I may sound sarcastic what with the not-so-hot reviews, but I mean it... it's maps like these that make me want to play Doom again. -geekmarine

Very oldskool 1994-ish mapping, this episode could have been done in 1995-1996 gived the editor used. It's good for a relatively calm dooming session i guess. 3/5 -Maes

It's OK - nothing special though, with some fairly good features and some more annoying ones. Worth a single play-through.

I enjoy oldschool maps very much lately. Somehow I feel the urge to give this 4/5 even if it's just 3.5 - Optimus

enjoyable 1994 style stuff - shows how minimal architechture can be made to work well - play it with choco-doom or doomplus for that '94 feel

      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.
