About This File

32 Level Megawad for use with Doom2. Hopefully a fun packed collection of mainly small to medium sized maps.

A mixed bag. It's got some mediocre levels, some good ones as well as some outright duds. The third, Hellish episode is especially good, and a handful of earlier maps are very enjoyable as well. Most maps seem to be relatively easy but there's a sudden difficulty spike for MAP29 and MAP30.

DWMegawad club is currently acting very sniffy about this level set but I think it's aces! always thought MAP 29 was a masterpiece in particular

Pretty good. But could've really used some custom music.

There are some maps which are questionable (map18 with stealth, poor architecture in map24, insane secret hunt in map32), but especially the middle episode with its amazing city maps make D2R highly enjoyable. When using PSX music/sfx, you can gain another considerable atmosphere bonus. The levels fit the original Doom II storyline, map sequence actually makes sense and you feel like accomplishing something. Outstanding one-man project anyone should play. 5/5 - NightFright

Very difficult to judge as a whole. MAP21-29 are great, MAP30 is as bad as any other Icon of Sin fight and a lot of the earlier maps ranged from awful to alright. I guess on the whole that makes it average. Took so long to beat I honestly can't remember half of what I've done. 3* - Phobus

This badboy used to be hugely popular on zdaemon (still is, just not as much), I must have played through this pack about 10 times if I add all the time spent playing together. :) 5/5 - very fun, nice new textures, interesting secrets and fights. Difficult to see anything bad about it. Loved the last episode!

Sometimes the detail is lacking, however this megawad has more good levels than bad. The above poster is correct, the PSX music wad really sets the mood. Give these levels a try!

5/5 This is one of best megawads I‘ve ever played. Especially „Mars base“ levels are incredibly designed, with their own inner logic. I really love m03 – When the blue keycard disappeared in the kitchen, I almost felt like hell itself was playing some dark twisted game with me. „Earth levels“ finally look like they are on Earth. Hell levels are imho the weakest part of this mod, although still better than average. I probably expected more of "hell like" levels rather than "dark temple" styled ones.

This is quite a fun mapset to play through, IMO not what DooM 2 should have been, but a solid one man megawad which is good in it's own right. An easy 5/5 - DeathevokatioN

One of the best megawads ever! I recommend playing it with Brutal Doom for an added experience! :)

Inconsistent. But some of the later maps especially are excellent, such as map29. 4/5

This is what Doom 2 should have been in the first place. It's set on Earth. It's in a city. Not that... whatever it was that Id passed off to us as Earth. However, the Arch-Vile level is practically unbeatable if playing with Doom Enhanced. The crushers killing 96 Arch-Viles at once generates too many blood and gib pieces for the engine to handle. Not the author's fault, though.

4/5 Some of the first maps are subpar, but the wad as a whole is very good.

Whole megawads are always appreciated, but no, this is not what "doom 2 should have been".

The weakest parts overall occur early on. Most of the later maps are definitely worth the look. The first couple maps aren't horrible, just maybe a bit meh, but possibly even those squeeze in as average. Considering this one top of being a first effort, four stars is a given. Worth a look!

Great one! I quite enjoyed it but fails to be classic doom styled! What I mean is that uses textures of real people. still 4/5

      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.
