About This File

Stardate 20X6 is a set of 8 boom-compatible levels that are all about the color purple. I couldn't think of a wad that extensively used the color so I decided to spend some time and completely overdose on it. The levels meander through underground and space-station themes, and are filled with all sorts of abstract violet goodness. Much of the gameplay resembles the arena style typically found in slaughtermaps, but the monster counts (in general) aren't overwhelmingly high. The maps are very difficult, with UV hopefully presenting a worthy challenge even for veteran doomers. HMP is also implemented, and is intended for casual playthroughs.

Very fine maps with dedicated visuals and awesome gameplay. A bit hard for me, but nothing to mark it down for. 5/5

Well, the visuals are very nice, but the gameplay is based on pure luck. I don't imagine beating this without massive save game reloads. Even on easiest difficulty. And this is horrible...

Beautiful levels with nice music, and certainly beatable on UV if you figure the strategy behind each room. The people that complain about difficulty are probably used to beating every level on the first try on UV or something, can't quite figure why else they'd be complaining.

Whether you like this or not will largely depend on how much "incidental" vs. "setpiece" you like in a map. Stardate has setpiece battles where monsters either pop-in, teleport in, or come from closets, and stretches of doing nothing but wandering- the overall style actually reminds me a lot of a harder Painkiller, built in Doom. If that sounds appealing, you will like this. I personally prefer maps that lean more towards the "incidental combat" side of the spectrum, so the stop-and-go pacing left me dry.

A good wad with an original look, feel and gameplay. Difficulty is one of the hardest I've ever played on UV, though who plays a set piece slaughter wad on anything else? This gets 3 stars because its simply too difficult to hold the vast majority of doomers attention. Play this if you've finished combat shock and sunder and want more.

Starts out purple and ends up... purple. It's well designed, but the monsters tend to show up through "surprise" ways": walls opening, teleporting, hidden doors, etc. You start to expect it. I wish designers were more judicious with that feature; then I wouldn't realize every single empty room/hallway is gonna fill up with enemies. 4* - SirSpoon

Great wad mixing slaughter gameplay with the smaller, more cramped death destiny style leading to very vicious gameplay. I wish there was more purple in these maps as this wad is overwhelmed with brown and grey texturing which give a certain style which differentiates from the wads overall goal apart from the gameplay which it does achieve. 4 stars

Fantastic mix of small, tough fights, cool setpieces, and slaughter arenas with a great if maybe overly contrasting set of visual themes. Lots of thought in the gameplay here, UV will thrash you if you choose it for your first playthrough. hey big robb, dial down the difficulty level scrublord

Lots of stock content in the WAD, some of which has slight palette remapping for a couple extra purple pixels. Really, take away the purple and you have some well designed but uninspired brown and grey techbases, brown caves, and brown wood/metal maps. This becomes apparent after the novelty of the purple textures wears off, which is quite soon.

It's pretty good maps and good fun. However, if your PC can't handle the graphic rendering, then prepare to grade it lower. ~3/5

      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.
