About This File

You know that crab enemy from Mega Man 9? Yeah, this has nothing to do with it. :P

Crab is a weapon mod that isn't fully serious, and it's notable that there are very few weapons that you'd actually find in real life. You can count those on one hand, even.

So, you may ask, is there any backstory to this, like Zero Prophet's Zero Tolerance, WildWeasel's Diaz, or even Xaser's Zharkov Goes to the Store?

You could say that Crab is an military agency that specializes in unorthidox weaponry, but if your that starved for a story you probally shouldn't be playing DOOM in the first place. :P

Also, this is going to be my second wad on the /idgames archive, the first being that stupid "no pistol start" thing.

Eh, sorry about that. It must've slipped my mind that I added SVN features for all versions. Anywho, I wasn't sure if I should list each weapon's purpose in the .txt file. Two things to note, the gasgun's clouds do the most damage if used in small rooms that you can escape, and that there's two version of the unmaker. It sounds like you got stuck with the fake one, Alando. :P -XutaWoo

Tried this in both the newest versions of Zdom and GZdoom, but I could not get it to work. Haven't tested in Skulltag, but either way, I'm disappointed that it doesn't work in the intended ports.

One of the intended ports *was* skulltag, so go test it!

Sorry but you can't just throw weapons together like that. And you're still wondering why you only have 3 stars.

Overall I thought this weapon set was ok. I only found a few weapons to be useful. The weapon for slot 7 was completely useless, sorry to say. The only weapons that were fairly good was the skull staff and that Ice gun. The sword looked pretty cool but I think you can do a lot more with it. The gas gun was kinda funny since you mention the ammo being a fart can. Some good ideas but still needs to be thought out a little more. -Alando1

      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.
