About This File

This project was originally intended to be a megawad with 32 scythe-like maps (basically shorter and sweeter than Speed of Doom was, and less emphasis on the looks, and more on the flow of the maps). Due to commitments with university and other reasons, I've decided to stop mapping for good (not to say I won't map ever again) to allow for more time on other things. I may map again for community projects... in another year or two, who knows?

Worth a play just for the maps that didn't return in Resurge, despite the lack in polish. Otherwise, stick with Resurge, since the returning maps were all greatly improved upon, and the new maps are excellent.

lol there's TWO files on the archives with the name surge. anyways, the some of Resurgence's early days were here and they are slightly easier than before, plus coop wasn't really implemented.

I like this small claustrophobic style of mapping. It is a shame it wasn't finished, but it ended up going towards Resurgence anyway. Some of these maps obviously feel a bit unpolished, but there is something about the cramped action packed style that is addictive and fun. It's worth 4 stars from me. -TRRobin.

While it`s not "legendary" in the true meaning of the word, it really deserves the 5 stars I`m going to give it. Now.

Meh. Design is good but the levels also have bad monster placement. I hate it when I get killed right at the begining of the map because all of the monsters are placed in such a way that they shot me right from the get go no matter what I do, thus making everything a matter of trial and error. 2 stars.

I really really enjoyed that (in easy difficulty, it's a bit tough and I am left with no ammo), pity the project wasn't continued. The transition to secret level from 15 was quite cool (even though there is no secret level ;). 5/5 - Optimus

It's a shame this thing wasn't finished, I wonder what could have been further. Nothing really outstanding in here and these levels are too short and fast, though fun and entertaining in most cases. Scythe's heritage still lives on. 4/5 - Demonologist

Nice maps, but mostly too easy (on UV) to be truly memorable. Deserves somewhere between 3 and 4 stars.

The secret exit on Map15 looks interesting, but since this megawad never completed so just sad. Suicide-exit usages just high and feel annoying but other than that, just fine. 4/5

      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.
