About This File

Story: After the lifeless bodies of D'sparils body guards crumble and fall to the ground, for the first time in ages you feel a sense a sense of relief... as you enter the portal that finally takes you... home?

This is a challenging map for Heretic, and your gonna need to keep moving as well as taking full advantage of artifacts if you want to survive.

I decided to touch up on an old map, add a few areas and release so that it didn't just gather dust on my hard drive. I might release another bigger, and more epic Heretic map in the future to go alongside this one, but we'll see how things go. :)

Pretty much the perfect Heretic map. Nothing about it is incredibly grandiose, it's just good simple fun. The gameplay is a bit tough, but totally fair. There's enough ammo & breathing room that it feels satisfying to clear out each room. The architecture & lighting are in the classic E1 style, but a bit better detailed, with some nice directional shadows. The level design is simple (just one key required), but manages to be non-linear in a rewarding fashion. Even the secrets stood out as nice. Really, its only crime is being too short.

Short map with simple layout - there is not much to do. Ambiance is ok but not special. Gameplay @ UV is not difficult, strafing is the way to go; ammo is tight, so creating infighting is necessary. Overall: I very like Heretic levels, but given the skyhigh ratings above, this one is disappointing; +1 because we need more Heretic maps = small 3*. BTW @ 5* voters: there are a lót of Heretic maps in the archive which are much, much better, so sorry, but this one is not legendary at all.

Very good single map wad for Heretic. If only more people would make maps of this calibre for this unappreciated game I would be a happy man. Would be nice to see more maps from this author for Heretic. 4/5 Kristus.

Excellent Heretic wad by a skilled mapper. Ammo balance might have been a tad bit on the tight side, but then again, I probably suck at using inventory. So yeah, good stuff. -Snakes

Nice work, even it's hard(if you go wrong way, then get ass kicked), but I have a lot of fun with it, and a rarely good piece of Heretic map I must say. The layout just a bit confusing me so I take some time to found it out. 4/5 -playerlin

Woah! Why have I not seen this level before?!? I love a good Heretic map that stays true to the first episode (Docks theme) and makes it look pretty without someone having to throw in some 2nd or 3rd episode stuff in. It was a bit short, however it was perfect.

      Unloved

      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

      The Revenant Problem

      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.
