Yay first map :P

Edit 10.10.2007: After over a year, I've decided I might as well release this, since it's unlikely I'll ever make another map. The area outside the window that was supposed to be the starting area for the next map will stay the pointless detail that it is now :P

Main reason why I made this was to see how long it would take me to learn DB. I also wanted to try making a decently challenging map with DOOM's limited set of monsters. /edit

Very well put together. A nice little action-packed map with great use of graphics and such. Pretty hard, but quite fun nonetheless. 4/5

This isn't insanely difficult. It's good for an experienced player. I had no issue playing it. Found it to be a lot of fun. You just have to do a lot of dodging and often the monsters kill themselves. Focus your efforts on the shotgunners and the cacos because they'll mess you up. 4/5.

This is from June 2006. It's an entertaining map with an E1-style layout, although there are many more and tougher monsters than in a real E1 level. I played it in Nightmare Tyson mode with the keyboard and didn't have any problems, but lesser players might struggle. In theory it's tight on ammo, but you have a berzerk pack and infinite fists. One of the few levels where the cyberdemon is your friend.

nice challenging and addictive gameplay. i've already played it several times. the detail is simple but well done. my only complaint is that it is possible to lock yourself in the outside courtyard if, after releasing the cybie, you run into the main building, hit the switch to the right and run back outside to grab some health you saved -- such as what i did. it seemed that there was no way to open the door anymore and so i had to noclip through it. other than that, great stuff ****

This was a disappointment after all the positive reviews. It's decent enough for a first map, but otherwise doesn't impress. I was surprised that the gameplay was the weakest part of this level, considering the author. Belial shows promise, but I can't give this one more than 2 stars.

I dunno I liked it. I died at the end though because I decided to save the berserk pack for later, however the bars locked it out. I really needed it to fend off all those demons.

An excellent first map. Its a small and tough, challenging map and you need to be very careful. Remember if you see a shotgun guy kill him first first. Pretty dark E1ish base with some good lighting effects. A few texture misalignments. 4 Stars -PC

Very Good for a first. But i find the placement of barons very hard to swallow. 3/5

Played on UV -fast. Tough start, tricky middle and satisfying finish. There is enough ammo if you don't spray the walls with pellets and a little 'in house' fighting also helps. Health is short, but adequate. To the previous reviewer: I rather like the placement of the Barons... their guts splattered all over the walls :) A solid 4/5

Ahahaha, vomit, right. You must be one of those morons that thinks Belial is a big-meanie-face and can't criticize unless he makes something better. 4/5

      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.
