About This File

Started as a e4m1 remake but I went on with a standalone map that maintains a few known areas (revamped obviously).

Don't like the overpowered new monsters and BOSSes, while some may think they(or this whole level) are easy, I would say it's not that easy(at least in UV), because those new monsters can kicked your ass down just few seconds if you're not carefully/get too close to them. The final BOSS also even worse, don't know why the author never put any armors/megaspheres in the final battle area(at least on UV), 200 health still nothing to the final BOSSes' BFG-like attack(and yes, BOSSes, because you have to deal 2 of them, what a unfair fight).

 

Gameplay is so-so, with much more than enough of ammo.  Secret areas are fun to find but they just make the ammo too much. Yes, the final secret does give player a blue armor but I'm sure you would lose it already before the final BOSS(I mean the ones before the final BOSS, they're new monster too).

 

Looking, layout and atmosphere just good, and put good use of ZDooM-exclusive shit. But I think the gameplay just too linear or predictable and the final area just...a little lay down, mostly the overpowered new BOSSes. I'm not DooM-god level of player and I would like see some different BOSS, not just ones with HUGE damage and just added extra one for just making the battle harder.

 

3.5/5

It's difficult to give a note for this. Architecture visuals are excellent, but gameplay leaves much to be desired. I wrote a newstuff review for this which describes all in a bit more detail.

WOW. What a map. French ? écoute, c'est tellement bon que ça fait mal :) Quelques bugs; un ascenceur qui descend et qu'on peut activer sans descendre et qui ne remonte pas, vers le milieu fin. Très près de cet ascenceur, des collones qu'on peut gravir, qui nous mène au trou ... Deux Thamuz ça frappe. Secrets excellents, tout excellent. Bravo

The only thing this level has is it's architecture. Most of the rooms look really cool and interesting. However, the gameplay is so lackluster it's not even funny. Monsters thrown haphazardly without regard to what they do, a lot of really large rooms filled with slow projectile monsters. It's so easy and boring it felt like a chore...the secrets were pretty bland too. 2 stars for the architecture.

      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.

      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
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
