This map will take as long to complete as an episode of original Doom.

It is VERY ornate and convoluted, and somewhat directionless.

I played with latest Guncaster (1.777) and latest stable GZDoom (4.5).

It took me nearly 2 hours.

I still don't know how to get the yellow key without jumping.

 

I recommend using a gameplay mod with double jump and mantling, like Project Brutality, or D4D or Guncaster. There are no new monsters or weapons, so you won't miss out on original content if you use a gameplay mod.


There is a cool boss battle in the end. All the areas are nicely designed and detailed, and the final area looks cool.

The exit area is central North, by the way.

Beware, there are some inescapable traps if you play with jumping, so save often.

So much effort laid to waste.. I can recommend this only to switch hunters who enjoy exploration side of the game. That said, action is here, but it doesn't help much cause running in circles among the corpses searching for any clue what the hell to do next is almost inevitable.

The reviewer mentioning "inappropriate" step texture usage is right. There are also a few bugs, an inescapable area and monsters that don't move. Nevertheless,I enjoyed playing this map tremendously and, in awe of its creativity and uniqueness (so many parts of the map are in motion!), I cannot rate it any lower than 5/5 stars. vdgg

This map is too big for it's own good. And the lifts are difficult to find. Not a good combination.

Needs more landmarks and logic to the overall structure to be any fun for me, as not everyone's has so good memory to remember each step done and every location he visited. Difficulty is medium and gameplay is slow-paced room cleaning with few traps thrown in (a bit similiar to Vela Pax in that regard), so the map is focused on the exploration element. Texturing is mediocore, but layouts are rather interesting. I recommend Sonar to Eternall fans, but anyone else should avoid this wad. 3/5

This map is HUGE and I got lost numerous times and never did find the blue key. Me being crap should not detract from what is an amazing wad, be prepared to put aside an hour or three.

Damn this is one big map. It's pretty fun, but also confusing. You'll get lost, a lot.

Some good ideas and enormous design but too big for my taste. I even had to idclip to see some areas. I like the area with up down crashers labyrinth. Though, too much use of rising platforms. 3.5/5 - Optimus

Fantastic level, gave me about 3 hours of fun @ UV. A few minor cons: darkness & spectres is not highly original, some bugs, and it is possible to finish the map with a lot of parts unvisited. But this is minor given the gameplay. Overall: absolutely legendary, so solid 5/5

Huge, non-linear, complicated, confusing. It looks good, but honestly, it's just no fun to play. After 45 minutes and getting about halfway through it, I quit - it's just too tedious. There's also areas where you can get trapped with no way out and no way to die, a huge no-no in my book. 2/5 - ZZ

If not really knowing where the hell you are is your cup 'o tea play this slog. It's not terrible, just long and more tedious than action packed. I've had more fun in hedge mazes.

Illfitting music, pitch black areas, step textures used as wall details, monotonous techbase theme, and all in the first two minutes. If this wad was intended as satire, it might have a point, but it still wouldn't be fun; and unfortunately, this looks like a serious effort rather than something made for comedy.

It's nice map, enough details and good layout, but bad rising platforms designs and maze-like routes(even it's nonlinear and some sections can be skipped) made me feel boring...and I never think it's a 5/5 map at all... I give up after I got red keycard and try to find where the fuck I should go then failed...I totally get lost, sorry. 3.5/5

I LOVE this map, from the beginning till the end. It started really difficult with too little ammo, but once you get into it, it's doable. It does take up a lot of your time to finish this beast and you get easily lost in this maze. All rooms and hallways are interesting with pretty nice detail. The only thing that bugged was how to open the big door close to the "underwater" part. I couldn't find the right switch, so I had to ask on the Doomworld forum. Also, half a point extra for the music, loved it.

It's too confusing. Gameplay is good but not brillant. If you have enough patient is a funny huge map. 3.5/5

It's a great looking map, I'll admit that. Unfortunately, this map is really confusing and it's next to impossible to figure out where to go next.

Wow look at all these noobs. This map is awesome and fun and the environment is interesting and varied. Unless you're a total idiot who can't find his way through his own house, or suffer from severe ADD, or expect CoD-style level design, play this immidiately.

      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

      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.
