Imperfection Has Its Charms

About This File

Since I am waiting on a few people before the Speed of Doom megawad project can be continued any further, I've decided to spend my time dusting off my old maps. The mapset used to be for zdoom, now it is playable on any limit-removing port with the Plutonia Iwad. These are very very early maps of mine, including my first map which is on map03. I fixed it to make it more compatible with most ports, made it more playable and fun, added shortcuts here and there. The design is very old school, and occasionally primitive, hence the title 'Imperfection has its charms.' Some of you may recognise the designs of several maps or played them before. Partial layouts of Map02 and Map07 is remade in Speed of Doom. A spruced up version of Map04 occupies the Map13 slot in NewDoom Community Project 2. There is no difficulty settings unfortunately, I would consider these maps to be challenging and not exactly for the faint of hearts. Enjoy!

It is NOT playable with ANY limit removing port. Just level one had inoperable switches and bridges that can't be walked under.

Pretty good, if a bit flawed. Worth playing if you're a fan of Joshy's mapping style, but his later works in Speed of Doom and Resurgence are more impressive.

The first six maps aren't bad at all, maybe 3-3.5 star quality, but I'm giving this 5 stars because I just loved the final three. From a good challenge to basic yet sufficient architecture, those maps really showed the meat of what oldschool dooming was about to me. Map08 at times even reminded me of the midsection of AV, and Map09 was a good ending. That being said, the only map I didn't like at all in the whole set was 05; it was too dark. Good work, can't wait for SOD!

note: actually it's a "boom-compatible" wad. no just "limit-removing"! (so it's unplayable in doom+ or jdoom). and I found here nothing "oldschool" - it looks and plays like all these common shitty maps from various community projects. meh.

This mapset feels oldschool... In both qualities and flaws, unfortunately. Many maps are cramped, too dark, involve pointless switchhunting and backtracking without any new monsters to fight or changes in the architecture. Note quality vary a lot between different maps so it's worth checking them all if you like classic doom gameplay. 3/5

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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.
