About This File

At last, you've found the warp gate facility your superiors said was abandoned 21 years ago. Thank God they put you on leave, or else you'd have /never/ be able to find it! Stumbling over something on your way in, you open your way into a well-lit room with a large door... and the sounds of feasting behind it.

Just then, you remember this base was abandoned for a reason...

---

This is a speedmap that I did in ten hours on my 21st birthday, hence the first part of the title. Small and short, as can be expected, but it should be fun to play. Watch your health! This level uses textures from The Darkening Episode 2, Suspended in Dusk, and Nick Baker's Useful Flats pack.

you're not gonna find anything but the nitty and gritty in this small map, which looks and appropriately plays like a standard MAP01. small-scale combat, divided into three sections with several secrets in each one. yes, it's easy, but given that its a speedmap by nature it is pretty much made to be quick and easy.

A nice and fun little map.  Also, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the way those panels blinked really fast - it was like they were blinking in time with that fun, fast-paced midi.  Either way, it was a nice touch.

 

You seriously need to do more maps.  If this map was any example of what you can do, then you certainly need to do more!

Short sweet map. No objectives, just killing. Health is places in tight corners, so I  usually miss them. Aesthetic is very bland and uninspired. Very easy, but fun.

It's a brilliant map, although it was a bit too easy even without the secrets. 3 stars. - Obsidian

Very engaging and certainly a very good level one map. I had the sense that anything could happen while I was playing this, and I thought you could have capitalized more on that sense of uncertainty. Secrets were also done very well. I found four of them during my play-through.

This is a fast-moving E1-style map, with some good-looking modern textures. You get a berzerk pack at the start, and it's good fun in Tyson mode. It's very bit easy, though, perhaps because it's meant to be an E1M1-style map - you only get 45 weak monsters (imps and former humans), and you can just wait by doors until they walk through, and then punch 'em into piles of goo.

It's good, but the texture-use is monotonous, so I gave it 3/5!

Solid map, especially for the amount of time it took to make.

      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.
