About This File

Started in 2009-ish, Coffee Break was intended to be another 32 map megawad. Unfortunately, due to a busy schedule, laziness, and other excuses, I didn't finish it. But I do have 11 maps, so there's that.

Submitted for your approval are 11 short maps designed to challenge all sorts of Doomers. All were made with lots of tender love and care, and with pistol starts in mind.

UV pistol starts without saves

Port: DSDA-Doom v0.10.0 -complevel 9

Total IGT: 1:35:53

Personal Difficulty Evaluation: 0.9 (1 = Plutonia)

Personal Rating: 7.6 (out of 10)

 

Died quite a few times on Map11 because it's how it's designed. Then later I skipped a lot of things to save time, so the total IGT should be expected longer. Other maps, maybe just died once or twice.

 

It's kind of weird that I personally feel MTrop's shorter maps are pretty great, but as I also played some MTrop's longer maps recently... I don't like the longer ones. Coffee Break is a set of shorter maps from MTrop and the whole gameplay is pretty classic and great. My personal favorite map is the last map. It's pretty intense.

very, VERY fun wad. the levels are short but hard and unrelenting (at least for me, but i kinda suck at the game lol), and densely packed with enemies, but not enough to be a slaughtermap. there's heavy usage of hitscanners throughout all the levels - not to say that that's a bad thing. the design of the levels is pretty good as well, unless you have adhd like i do then you're not gonna get lost.

A fun mapset to play through. The levels are short, yet action packed. The difficulty rises gradually. The beginning of the map is often the hardest part as you get shot by hitscanners from all angles.

This mapset struck me as fairly innocuous at first but the gameplay is where this one really shines. Maps are compact and punchy with a lot of combat variety and entertainment to be had. There is a solid difficulty ramp and i found myself having more and more fun with each passing map. Top notch - recommended to anyone!

The guy who voted zero on this must be an annoying wanker, tip: If you don't like Doom you're not gonna like this. If however you're not a jaded cynical turd, this should please you.

One of the best wads in what has been a very disappointing year for wads.

The architecture is merely good, but this is such a perfect casual play that giving anything under five is doing a disservice to the marvelous enjoyment this provides.

A great mapset that looks good, is fun to play, and doesn't go on too long. The main criticism I would levy is that it has an aggravating love of revenants on UV and "archvile in the exit room" gets predictable and old, but because this mapset cares to implement lower difficult settings that are well balanced and fun this can all be avoided. Top work.

Three flaws with this map set here: 1. Ambushes are a bit too predictable. 2. The "slowmo" brown waste in map 10. 3. Maps are a little too linear. But the rest is just so damn good it's a 5 anyway. Looks great, plays great and the levels show a huge amount of creativity. If Matt had adressed the above three flaws, doomworld would need to rework their rating system since it's not currently possible to award 6 starts out of 5.

Very well designed, perfect difficulty weapons and ammo in good supply, great use of archviles and traps, loved the puzzlebox nature of the last map this wad is amazing! And it fills a nice niche of not short but not long either, great for a couple coffee breaks :)

An extremely well put together episode that suffers only from repetitive motifs and infrequent surprises. This feels like a talented level designer working within himself. I recommend to play this but you will probably be wondering what else the author could do if he put his mind to it 4/5 -- purist

I loved them all except for the industrial metal map. Too many repeating features. 4/5

Played @ UV. Architecture is basically quite good, but also repetitive. +1 for being not ridiculously dark. Great fights, although I don't like monster popup, which imho is a cheap way of making a map more difficult. Overall: solid 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.
