Another rejected map from Master Levels by Chris Klie, follow thematically the previous level I reviewed, but this time the map remember more a mix between suburbs (or any Petersen style city map) and the chasm, due to the tiny ledges that are taken to pass in the second half of the level, it's also similar to another Master Levels entry, probably one of the reasons why this wasn't accepted... Difficulty is similar to the early maps in plutonia and gameplay is pretty challenging and fun for a play or two. Take it a shot.

This is from August 1995. It's okay, although very modest and simple; it's a success in the sense that it feels like an original Doom II level, or at least part of an original Doom II level (it's very short). By modern standards it's marred by an irritating emphasis on tricky narrow catwalks - ugly, blocky catwalks - and you get more health and ammo than you need. The final battle is a bit of a flop, too, with an almost totally undetailed "boss lair".

Good map. Better than most produced nowadays, and it would have been a worthy inclusion in the Master Levels (better than some of Klie's that were included, IMO). Not obvious why it wasn't included really - there was nothing fundamentally limiting the project to a certain number of maps.

      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.
