this wad is basically unplayable with sound on,most of the sound effects are really annoying and add nothing to it they like they belong more in a joke wad where all of the sound effects are purposely awful,the level design and the textures for them range from average to why the hell did you add this here,most of the time playing this never felt hard just unfair its not like sunlust or plutonia were when i die it feels more like my fault because i ignored a revenant sound and got hit with one of there missiles,in this wad however its more like not having any rad suits in damaging floor rooms or having fake switches that have no reason being there other than for a cheap trap

"Aah, that hurts!" It hurts indeed, annoying (movie?) sound clip used for player pain, it hurts a lot.

This map is not that atrociously bad, actually. Layout is nice and pretty open, and the "throne" room (without a throne) is the best part of the level, but unluckily there's this teleport crazy thing that runs troughs the various sections of the... castle? Tomb? I see more some kind of castle theme here, but i digress, let's return on topic.

Ok, there is this teleport travel stuff all around the map that join together the various sections of the map, at the first time it works fine and it's a pretty cool thing, but then things starts to going crazy after you reach the yellow key door (that is, for some reason, hidden from a computer panel and the switch to reach it is hidden too in a alcove that i had to noclip for reach it) and the teleport in the middle of the rooms that randomly spawns you in some random place, and this by touching a complete random teleport line. Wonderful, you don't have the idea. Also, after taking the red key, i've been stuck for quit a long in the already mentioned "throne room" and i had to cheat for finding my way by noclipping almost half of the map. Gameplay is not hard, but... this thing is unforgiving with you. Forget to take the computer map in the cyb's cage? Forgive even to proceed in the damn map! Miss a switch, a teleport line, anything? Game over, man. Also the thing placement looks like is all around the place sometimes, but that's a (really bad) habit of old time maps...

Also, is most probably me that i missed out something, but this map have a exit? I didn't find out in any way!

Ah yes, the sound effects are mental, this weird ass shit turns you crazy, if not the bad choices with teleport sections didn't it already. Top class. Also, it uses somes of the zombie voices from Eternal Doom (and before that Laura Bayer)? Ok....

 

In short: a pretty forgettable 1994 map expect for a pair of locations with some of the ugliest sound effects you can ever heard.

 

Spoiler

Why for these 2 stars reviews i write down the "War and Peace" of doom level reviews?

The only notable things about this highly linear map of unknown size are the TERRIBLE sound effects and The Terminator music. Almost unplayable but I persevered until I rage-quit during some kind of jumping puzzle that involved repeatedly falling into nukeage from a rising platform. There are only so many times I can bear to hear "Aah that hurts".

This map is dated 3/28/96. It consists of square/rectangular rooms with varying themes and amounts of detail. It has annoying sound effects; if you kill a Baron of Hell, he sings. Not worth playing, especially today.

Bad design, bad sound effects. Looks imho more like an experiment than a serious level. 1/5 - R1D

The mapping is a 1995 style. Boxy rooms with adequate detail. There are no bugs that I saw. The sounds were not needed as they are way too annoying. Overall, this wad looks like it was made in the 95' area. 3/5.

Every bit as bad as 1994/95 WADs are often said to be. What the hell were people thinking? Unless you enjoy crappy wads, 1/5 for the effort. - ZZ

      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.
