About This File

A 3 episode vanilla megawad for Doom 1 containing a total of 27 maps. Set on one of Jupiter's moons called Ganymede, this wad should provide a challenge for a wide variety of skill levels ranging from the humble newbie to veteran speedrunner. Each episode has it's own progression rather than the usual base -> hellbase -> hell.

It would be better if the skybox changed every episode. Oh well.

Fan-f@#king-tastic!! Best Doom 1 megawad I have ever played... best use of Doom 1 monsters EVER. Cannot speak highly enough about this mapset... boss levels weren't as challenging as the normal levels, but it was the same in the Iwads as well.... E1M8 was a nice gimmick..... PLAY THIS NOW!!

One of the top Doom I megawads. Good level designs and lengths, a sense of oldschool play that oddly manages to stray (in a good way) from ever truly just mimicking original styles. And oddly I like the DTWID-planned soundtrack appearing in here as well. It's time this project FINALLY gets a legitimate cacoward, in eleven months that is. 5/5

Its just a back to the basics, no nonsense, distilled essence of Doom Doomery here. You never know whats coming next because each new encounter is just so damn different from the last. Visuals are exactly what they need to be. They are elegantly simple and faithful to the original iwads while at the same time adding having their own flair. 5/5 -FoH

Brings the challenge of some harder Doom II WADs to the first Doom. Prepare for loads of Sergeants and Imps at all times, and Barons like to join the party, too. Level design is great, and the skyboxes contribute a lot to the Jupiter scenario. Cacoward is well-earned, and anything not liking this does not know what's good. :) 5/5 - NightFright

I dunno how this got such high scores. It's alright but the map design is really repetitive. 3/5

I agree with some people reviews about the design and gameplay aspects being a little repetitive, but it's a solid piece of work and well worth playing. 4 Stars.

Four stars. Why not five? Because it's a repack.

Basically quite well done, must have been a lot of work. However, overall architecture is repetitive, and playability becomes quite predictable after a few maps - so gets a bit boring due because of no real surprises. Overall: solid 4/5

This is abolutely excellent. The only thing I dislike about this wad is overuse of revenants.

Pretty darn good vanilla dooming with many surprise attacks coming from all directions keeping difficulty up and the player on their toes. Just short of greatness. 4/5. -TRRobin.

A great map set I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for all the effort you put into polishing this up, it really shows. A great mix of old school gaming style and new(er) aesthetics, I really had a great time playing this and I'll be looking for your other maps. An unabashed 5 star masterpiece. -Sir TimberWolf

Amazing design and excellent gameplay. You could say these are as good as the original Doom levels but the truth is their 10x better. Well done and thank you.

Most detailed classic wad I ever seen. Unfortunately, gameplay isn't always on par with the looks.

      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.
