About This File

A doom2 remake wad a few friends and i made. Each map is made from scratch and is extended with beefed up detail. We ended up canceling the project because people didnt seem to support it all that much. We spent a long time on the maps and didnt want to finish all 30 maps if noone liked the first 11. But I hope some people will enjoy this wad.

hate to say it, but I could NOT get into this. New monsters need fking balancing bigtime, and game elements get kinda bs or just boring.

It's nice to see a community-grade project come from new people who aren't as (in)famously well-known as the people who make the current community projects, and these new mappers are able to make high-detail upgrades of old maps while still retaining their gameplay and are able to use custom monsters sparingly (but the underwater arachnorb horde was unnecessary) instead of in-your-face constantly, all unlike KDiZD. 5/5

^Indeed. If we all stopped working on our projects because others don't show any support, this archive would be a great deal emptier.

This is great, and I hope the designers finish it. It's a killer mash-up of Doom and Doom 2 elelements that riffs off the original game but reimagines it creatively and refreshingly. It's like discovering old-skool Doom again. Bitchin' job.-GreazyShorts

I havent finished playing it **spoiler ahead** but I found a nice surprise when browsing the files (to check compatibility with a new gameplay mod Im making) to see that Eidolon made it in. As far as the maps go, what I've seen so far, looks very nice. Gameplay-wise, I cant really comment because Im not a good tester; as I keep on using gameplay mods all the time. 5/5 just because I rarely find a mapset that calls me so bad to try, and much more rarely I find one that I actually enjoy.-DBThanatos

This wad is definitely kind surprise and I hope you will finish whole Doom2 conversion. Because of some quite major issues I cannot give full 5 stars rating. 1) It isn't proprely tested, therefore there are lot of bugs, that made me to use idclip several times. 2) The overuse of slopes is sometimes annoying. I don't like them on the relatively flat grounds, because it spoils the movement of a player. 4/5 - Damned

Pls finish this great remake of Doom II! Pretty pls? Rocking great remake of Doom II with Zdoom Effects that bring more realism to the levels. As near perfect to the original levels, along with something to keep the most hardened Doom veterans happy. Great work. 5/5 - Digital Nightmare

This WAD doesn't suck but it needs polishing out some minor errors. 5/5 - Zalewa

Really good! Maps look so much better, but not overdetailed or messy. Gameplay and map layouts are "modernized", but maps are still recognizable and gameplay is still good ol' Doom 2. Only significant flaw are underwater parts, hell they even thrown redesigned version of those floating underwater mobs from Duke 3D in. One map actually starts underwater! Don't do that people.

what I've played so far is good one problem I've noticed so far is there is a secret I can't find on map 03 and its nowhere on the map either. Also there is an extra secret in map 02 that isn't counted in the secrets tally. As I play through more will let you know my findings

I honestly think this wad is ugly as sin and features too many nonsensical modifications and gameplay elements to name, mainly things like slopes for the sake of slopes and, well, underwater zombiemen. The hellish transformations were kind of cool though.

It's got some bugs that need playtesting and tweaking, and it feels like a restaurant that's opened a few weeks too early, but the food is still 10x better than most other places. The levels are based on Doom 2 levels but greatly enhanced and expanded and have lots of surprises. It ain't perfect, but it's more creative and refreshing than 99% of the junk that gets uploaded.

This is not kdizd. This is what kdizd should have been. 5/5 -1* for not being the complete 32 levels so 4/5

SICK. I love how it still has elements from the original game, yet it manages to create a completely different atmosphere. Details, awesome gameplay, non-linear layouts and superb atmosphere; it's all there! I hope the other maps will be finished one day as well.

"We ended up canceling the project because people didnt seem to support it all that much." - guess it's time to resurrect it now. an overwhelming majority of people including me support it.

      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.
