Not the worst episode replacement. That said, not even in the same city as the same ballpark as the best. Y'know, maybe when maps become as interesting as mowing the lawn, maybe you're not doing it right eh?

No, this is not good: contains missing textures causing HOMs, unclosed sectors, no secret map, bad final battle, texture misalignments. A bugfixed/updated version is needed and required. 1.5/5.

This gets a 5/5 from me. What the pitiful "Lost Episodes of Doom" back from 1994 didn't achieve, Khorus did - creating a convincing Jupiter setting. The final map and lack of secrets might be disappointing for some, but the episode is entertaining, atmospheric and well-designed. When E2 (and later hopefully E3) is/are done, it will be a great Doom 1 megawad. Download and play. - NightFright

Brought me back to the feeling of joy I got from playing through Doom for the first time. In a world of source ports and advanced features, it's heartwarming and wonderful to see WADs like this still being released for vanilla Doom. Do NOT pass up a chance to play this -- it's something truly great.

Author has talent but he's lazy as hell because never playtested this wad. 1* because 0.25 secrets per map are stupid. There's also a huge HOM in e1m3 that needs to be fixed asap.

Reviewers above are idiots for using a port that doesn't support vanilla rendering tricks.

Checked in Chocolate Doom, the HOM in the outside area of E1M3 is very visible as well as in (G)ZDoom. Also, you moronic troll, ports that can't render Vanilla tricks, don't remove secrets. 2/5

Not bad. The last map is underwhelming.

One of the best episode sets for Doom that I've played. Beautiful, challenging, and well-designed. ***** -sargebaldy (1-11-10)

Excellent episode, great gameplay and level design. But there are only 2 secrets in the ENTIRE episode and 6 of the maps do not contain a secret at all. And plus there is no lava on Ganymede. Ganymede is mostly Water Ice, so levels 7 and 8 are probably more likely to be set on Io instead. Still a recommended download.

RAGEMAR! Let's calm down. :) Yeah, I found the HOM on M3 after I uploaded. Some people had already recorded some demos, so I didn't want to break them for a visual bug on a minor part of the map. I'll be combining all the episodes with the release of E3, though, so fixes can be introduced there while keeping the old version up at the same time. Secrets are to each his own, not a big part of the gameplay for me so I under use them. E2 should be better there. -Khorus

very good mapset in slightly unusual mapping style (both visual and gameplay). new sky is respectable. f/a demo recording on m5 was fucking epic... mainly because it too dark from start and sparse on ammo :P however, two things makes me sad: only 0.25 secrets per map and gameplay of m8. ****

Really enjoyed playing this - great challenge throughout, excellent oldschool action. Nice to a Doom episode that isn't just an E1 remake too. 5* -Phobus

      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.
