13 years of Doom

About This File

13 years of Doom doesn't have a consistent theme. It was just a project to get some of the mappers together to make a tribute to Doom style map. The map is built inside and around the letters "13 YEARS OF DOOM", with each letter made by different author. No, I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean "late"? Anyhow, I'm not 100% sure of the credits, as the development cycle was rather long. Apologies to those who I may have forgotten. Have fun! It's never too late to celebrate Doom's 13th birthday!

Brave attempt, but has imo too many flaws. Textures that don't fit together making ambiance ugly, layout often too cramped without reason, way too many lost souls, secrets without decent awards, automap almost not updated making progression unnecessary difficult. Frequently endless searching. Switchhunt could mostly have been implemented smarter via walkover lines. Monster placement is often uninspired. Overall despite the effort: meh. It's a pity...

I tried to like 13years, but it is just too sloppy. The only good looking rooms are in the word "Doom", and even one of those is a blatant rip-off of Doom2 Map11 (and the original is better). Texture alignment is awful. Game play is too unbalanced, with the only hard fights consisting of in-your-face monsters when you teleport from one letter to another. There were numerous bugs that could have been caught with a little playtesting. Definitely a failed community compilation.

First, the wad is not really coop-compatible, first the teleporters and some doors do the thing once, second the first sections were pretty low-detail compared to rest of map, third in the boss fight the teleporting monsters do get stuck, 2,5/5 - Alter

Thirteen or fourteen years? I'm confused. This is a single large map (602 monsters) with each section designed by a different person. The design is generally simple, with some cute touches. I could have done without some of the lost souls, I hate lost souls. I got trapped in a secret lift in the 'P'. The gameplay is entertaining although it's never very hard. The second 'O' seems very familiar. Conceptually clever boss fight; wobbly execution.

Sorry people, apparently a slightly old version was uploaded here, in which the lift and teleporter bugs have been fixed. You can certainly play the map, though. And Alter, the monsters are intended to get stuck in the boss fight. Fatal

Boring switchhunt.

Enjoyable fairly large map, which does its concept very well indeed, but suffers slightly from gameplay issues in places. 4*

      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.
