About This File

Third WAD by [B0S] clan. Now it's 32 levels. Plot: "It all happened because of that strange portal in the cargo compartment of this falling plane. After we loaded the object we had found under kilometers of ice in the cargo hold, the commander appointed me to escort the valuable cargo. Who could've known that the mysterious find was going to suddenly come to life? A bright flash is the last thing I remember after liftoff."

I can't understand the problems of people. It's a great stuff. Seriously, ALL THE LEVELS ARE GREAT! At least IMO. I hope it won't be voted down seriously. 5/5 - Katamori

Some maps are a bit buggy but if you use a source port like prboom-plus you won't notice any problems. Great job 5/5. dwrTag

It's got some cool levels that theme up nicely (although not all the levels seem to tie in), and there's a dreamy sort of Kult-like Metropolis feel to some of the areas. It can get a little sparse on fights at times, and it leans more to puzzles than slaughter, but it's creative and shifts around enough to stay interesting.-GreazyS horts

Only works 100% correctly in PrBooM+, but there's nothing gamebreaking in Eternity or ZDooM. As usual for BOS, the maps are quite atmospheric and include some very unusual themes, particularly later on. Also as usual, some of the occasionally puzzle/exploration-c entric gameplay, and some of the huge maps, will not be to everyone's taste. Nice to see Azamael, the project lead this time, maturing as a mapper. Quite memorable overall; hopefully not the last BOS project. -TDotW

I adore these experimental, exploratory maps! I wouldn't say detail is lacking, either - lots of work has clearly gone into crafting the likeness of real or pseudo-real places. There aren't borders all over the place? Who cares? Get lost in this amazing map pack!

Jak dla mnie zajebisty! Wspaniale dopracowane i bogate w różnorodną architekture mapy oraz zrównoważony poziom trudności stawiają ten wad w mojej ocenie bardzo bardzo wysoko. Dałbym 4,5 ale że takiej opcji nie ma to zaryzykuje 5 gwiazdek. AWESOME !!!

The maps lacked detail, but the megawad was still impressive. Music selection was quite nice and enemy placement was also pretty good. I've seen better, but not everyone is a mapping legend, so I give this one a 4/5.

Some interesting ideas here, but I have strong impression that maps were done by talented beginners. While most layouts are interesting, it's too many little ugly bits here and there for truly positive experience. 3/5

A.L.T. is certainly one of the unsung mapsets that deserves praise. very well constructed levels and decent monster placement. MAP26 is a fucking beauty.

Very mixed bag. Holds some great wads with nice ideas, but also some who are simply WOT. Overall as-is an average 3/5, but the best 8 or so wads alone would get a solid 4/5.

Some great maps here, with impressive visuals and really strange, surreal atmosphere. Combat rarely resorts to lowly slaughterfest, difficulty is mostly result of smart enemy placements and combinations. Sadly, maps are often confusing, puzzle driven and sometimes resort to dreaded automap obscuring. This wad doesn't resort to cheapness in combat department but it does so in puzzle-exploration part. You know something is wrong when it is often easier to find most secrets than a way to progress.

Do yourself a favor and go in to delete the custom sounds with XWE or something. The maps themselves can be pretty cool, but there's not a lot of action, so if you're expecting a slaughterfest, don't.

Their best output so far, though I dig for map02 and map13 from Sacrament and miss that atmosphere.

Great mapset! Monster placement is excellent, most maps are non-linear and take some exploring to figure out. Don't care for some of the new sounds, but changing the SS trooper sounds makes them into viable monsters (anyone else done this?). There's some very innovative use of textures as well; some of the best detailing to make realistic objects in doom (without use of 3d floors or over 9000 sectors to make an object). Traps are brutal but not unfair. 4.5/5.

Quite unique atmosphere in these levels and a surprisingly consistent background story. Features some scenarios with remarkable looks (maps 8, 9, 15, 26) and some really huge areas (e.g. map 11 "Recall"). I was seriously running out of ammo in the last third of the wad often, so better make your hits count. Authors work with obscured automap areas a lot, especially towards the end, which can be a bit confusing. Didn't get a Caco in 2012, but it doesn't mean you should skip this.

      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.
