One Park Avenue DOOM II Level

About This File

It is January 1996, and Forstman-Little's purchase of Ziff-Davis has gone through as smoothly as silk. You've laid down your trusty plasma gun for what you think is the last time -- surely you can eke out a living far away from 1 Park Avenune, perhaps as a freelance WAD programmer, and forever give up the killing daily routine of deadlines, vendor meetings, and the total elimination of passive voice in copy. But a phone rings late in the night, and even before you pick up the handset, the ringing augers blood, and once you hear the whispering voice calling you back to One Park Avenue, your dreams of a normal life have evaporated. Your duty: to once again dispel the demons, mutants, and mercenaries who have so desperately tried to wrest Ziff-Davis's 11th Floor editorial offices for their own evil purposes.

I honestly don't have a problem with maps with narrow hallways and maps with a lot of enemies (as long as there aren't too many)

 

WHAT I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS BOTH THINGS BEING TOGETHER

 

this WAD has too many enemies everywhere (and when I say too many I mean it's unplayable unless you have 12 eyes, 2 for each side and 1 for each of the sides of the sides)

 

This added to the fact that the corridors are so narrow that they do not leave you the freedom to move

 

ugh

For being a level based off of an office, and being a map from 1995 this is pretty impressive. Total slaughterfest, and thank you for the god mode power up at the end. Wouldn't of made it to the exit switch with out it. 4/5.

This is an office building littered with mostly small monsters and a rectangular hallway with tiny rooms all along. Design isn't super but the gameplay keeps you on your toes at the start.

Not bad for a 1995 map. 4/5

Too cramped and you get swamped by a shitload of small enemies at the very beginning of the map. Those two maps in the Console Doom wad based on the Atari building (if I remember correctly) is better than this. 2/5

This is dated March 1995. I assume it's by the same Steve Baldwin that runs "Ghost Sites of the Web" - the textfile has that air about it. The level is basically one of those "my workplace" maps, but better than most because the monsters swarm you all at once, and there are lots of them. The gameplay is solid even though the design is very crude. Suffers from the typical problem whereby you have to clear dozens of identical square rooms; nice end battle though.

I remember playing this after getting a free CD from a magazine back in 1996 (Windows Sources Multimedia Megapac -- still have the working CD). Anyways, this map was not that great back then and is even worse now compared to modern mapping techniques. But if you're for classic levels then this Doom 2 map is for you. For me 2/5

Whoever says it's too crampy is a wuss. This is how a Doom 2 level should play. 4/5 printz

It's a pretty good level for its era. There's not much detail, but then office buildings generally are fairly bland. I really enjoyed the fast-paced constant combat, and having enemies able to approach and attack from any direction made for some exciting gameplay. Certainly not a pretty level by any means, but definitely fun. 5/5 -The Unholy

      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.
