About This File

A medium sized tech base level. It starts out sort of easy, but the ending is extremely difficult, but possible (at least on HMP :) .) This is my first level that I think is good enough to upload (I've made 3 other ones.) Please comment.

Pretty fun map with all-generic details aside. Unfortunately there were some HOMs in a couple parts I spotted. Didn't have much trouble with the cyber pit as it only took a couple of attempts to manage it; and I only fell into one of the death pits the first time. I had more trouble with the outer ring of enemies with many failed attempts in the long hallways getting congested with many hardbodies. It's a decent first map that reminds me of a simpler time when mapping gave us that excitement of seemingly endless possibilities in an oddly-executed fashion.

Many areas has too small and so many monsters block player's way. And some dark room problems like other reviewers said. Some points are nice or overall it's not bad but needed more works. 3/5 -playerlin

Good attempt, but way too crowded, and so many monsters makes it too hard/impossible.

This was my first released wad, and honestly its pretty damn bad. It actually looks nice, but the gameplay is awful. The Cyberdemon fight at the end is one of the worst ideas I've ever came up with (It is possible, just with like a million saves :P) and one area is so dark that it's nearly impossible to see anything. I didn't even test it in vanilla, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were a shitload of VPOs. Don't play this. 1/5 -ProcessingControl (11/17/11)

A bit cramped, but not overly so. Varied fights and situations. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it's a bit off ; overall, a good fun map to spend a few minutes on. 3/5

Design work is mostly medium, but looking at some rooms, I guess there is great potential, since they are very well done. The first part of the map is often too small for so many monsters. Sometimes challenging, mostly it is medium difficulty. Ending is hard 3/5

Not a bad attempt, but far too cramped, too scarce on ammo and health at times, poorly balanced for higher difficulties, and Cyberdemons at the end are impossible to legitimately beat.

Beginning is a bit cramped as stated already but other wise very nice! 3.5(4)/5

Tested UV with ZDoom 2.5.0: basically promising, but way too dark (a good level does not need to rely on almost total darkness for being challenging). Sometimes too crampy: had to jump a few times and even needed a dive (passage through lower corridor near the 100% health secret). The ending has some line bugs, f.e. the area with the spiderdemon is an unescapable hole. 3/5, but can be a 4/5 after a solid revision.

      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.
