About This File

This was a sort of experimental concept map. Basically, what I did was find snippets of each level in the doom2 IWAD and make a one-level wad from scratch where you progress through in one cardinal direction, north. I stayed true to Doom II's architechture and design. Because I stayed true to that style, don't expect any crazy cool design or gameplay gimmicks or anything eye-opening (remember that Doom II's levels had texture misalignments too!). The way each area progresses, you'll always be going north. Hence the title.

It's completely linear, so if you hate that style I'd advise not playing this.

It's cute and nostalgic, but relies too much on directly copypasting sections from Doom II.  And there's really not enough items, especially at the Icon of Sin, which doesn't even have any rockets in the arena.  If you run out of rockets, you're just screwed, and have to redo the entire thing if you don't like saving mid-map.

It just DooM 2 in one map, but so linear just does not very fun to play, well...I still like the idea but I think it would be bigger. Most of areas just cramped as hell, and early areas just lack of ammo and health make it's more hardly than later areas, which is weird since later areas should be harder. At least it's not just copy'n'paste work, but that doesn't matter.

Its basically small sections from all of Doom 2's maps pasted in and readjusted with the exit been the Icon of Sin. Some areas made from scratch while other areas pasted in and altered.

      Unloved

      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.
