About This File

Espi originally produced this map for my ninth speedmapping session (sbspd009.zip), back in 2003.

I've since spent a number of hours revising and recreating this map, as Esa did with the map he created for my eighth session.

A really good looking short map, including interesting trickery like 3D bridges, very great layout and monster placement.

Short and sweet! Some interesting texture choices. I love the prevalence of the red brick texture that's often underused in other wads. The light decoration in the alleyway with the raised floor and use of mid textures was an interesting touch. I also thought the level exit was also unique and aesthetically appealing. As for gameplay, It's smooth and fun with good flow.

A most excellent map. 5/5 if it were a map in a series, but 4/5 on its own, because the plasma rifle is placed after all of the enemies. Couldn't use it on anything, and it feels good to use that gun.

An old Espi speedmap, finished and revised by SargeBaldy in tribute to him? How can I say no? RIP Esa, and thanks Owen. 5/5 -essel

A fun and quick action-packed city map. Uses all three dimensions well to make the most of what is, in fact, a very confined playing area. Progression is straight-forward and the gameplay is violent but very fair. No secrets. Recommended. --4/5

very possibly the best doom 2 level I've ever played. Just frickin' awesome. A whole episode of maps like this one would be too awesome. Every mapper should try to emulate this simple style and gameplay. Great atmosphere, too. Very Doom 2 city. --Hellbent

It's a good 5-stars for a short map, very enjoyable few minutes of play and too the point. But I think I've seen this map before (http://www.doomworl d.com/idgames/index. php?id=12016).

If you like Doom 2 maps this one is put together alright and gets to the point. Nothing especially interesting, though. At least it doesn't waste too much time.

Very nice 3D layout with clean classic style texturing but monster placement kind of sucks. Open door leading to a small room, see some monsters inside, easily kill them without entering that room. This happens several times. So overall it's only OK, can be fun for 4-5 minutes.

      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.
