About This File

There are small 11 maps. Episode 1 (Map 1-6) is "Uranus", and episode 2 (Map 7-11) is "Ares". I made this wad not recently but about 4 years ago, and I have already abandoned the project. Title pic is remaining "Ares"...

A really brief mapset -- it took me around 15 minutes to play through, and the map with 42 monsters is the big one -- from Masayan, who contributed to JPCP. It feels like a My First Wad type of deal in its design choices and missteps. The first half "Uranus" has a creative theme. As this opening shot of map01 captures, it has a platforms-suspended-in-a-big-skybox theme that feels like if, say, Ozonia were made by a beginner, with very tiny maps, and patterned its visuals after Scythe and Kama Sutra (but sparser) -- or alternatively like a very simple, bite-sized version of lupinx-Kassman's design. It often looks and plays blandly, but I had fun rushing through it. Seems like it'd be good for speedrunning.

Kinda interesting architecture and layout, but man, does the music suck. It's terrible and awful and just ruins the whole gameplay.

Very mediocre mapset with a mostly easy gameplay. The maps are short and straightforwarded for the most part. The music selection was okay. I'll give this 2/5, though I believe it deserves less. - Moti

I liked them too. Best map seven clone I've played in a while. It kind of makes me want to make some simple maps also (... oh the complexity of that idea ... :P)

Not every wad has to be some massive 32 level insanely detailed set. Small projects such as these are still pretty fun to play.

Finally! After going through a lot of crap in new336 this is something decent again. Small, simple but nice. Not awesome but after all the other stuff lately... this is a gleam of hope. 3,5/5

Nice effort. These maps contain a simple charm to them that some people seem to miss.

I love the first six levels. The last maps are more generic... 3/5

The first set (Uranus) was quite OK, actually - short, admittedly, not particularly detailed, but enjoyable. The latter (Ares) were more on the boring side, to be honest. Still, 3/5 overall.

Despite the simplicity of the mapset, I liked it. The maps were short and sweet.

The wad is ok, but I found the levels to be too short. Next time you create a level make sure you use “Hurt Me Plenty“ for your first thing placements and then make the other skills, because skill 1-3 are just way too easy. I even would recommend lower skilled players to play on Ultra Violence... That’s all, 3/5!

      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.
