About This File

Coming back from Middle Ages, and having killed everything in previous episode, The Monastery, you feel happy and proud of having helped your friends. Unfortunately, Hell Order did'nt appreciate your valour, and decided to intensify his efforts to heradicate all kind of rebellion. Seeing this, General Mac Porter orders you to go back to Middle Ages, a few years later than your previous raid. As possible as you can, use tricks instead of frontal assaults, because this mission is harder than the previous you completed so well. Rebellion does'nt want to loose one of its best members. Some secret areas may help you, if you find them.

Nice, quite big (200 monsters in UV, takes me 20minutes) castle map. Use of Heretic textures in Doom wad is questionable, but map is not looking bad. Flat textures of teleporter aren't alligned. Architecture is really good. Fighting is intense mostly in cramped pleces. I stucked for a while becouse keys are in secret areas. For its time: 8/10

It's an okay castle-ish level with mostly Heretic textures, which fortunately seem to have been palette-converted with decent software this time, so they're no uglier than they have to be (the author also seems to have done a decent job of picking the better ones, although that ugly stained glass that was so popular to rip is there). Gameplay is passable; the mancubus courtyard area was somewhat challenging. Overall an average map though, nothing particularly wrong with it but not that great either.

Got stuck looking for the yellow key - silly me for not realising I had to run around clickin on graves to see if one would lower a wall, revealing a hidden section of the level vital to progress. Map looks good, textures really suit it. Hard to believe this is dated from 95. 2 stars for hidden key.

The author obviously has a good feel for architecture but Heretic/Hexen textures don't suit DOOM at all. They looked out of place in Eternal and WoS and worse here. Add the ammo/powerup overkill, complete disregard for proper flats alignment and the blaring soundtrack, and from above-average this drops to 2/5 - N_A

Impressive architecture for such an old wad.

      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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

      The Revenant Problem

      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.
