Hell on Icannar: Old Nuclear Plant

About This File

My third map in history, and my only non-joke map that ever got finished. I planned it to be a part of my "Hell on Icannar" megawad, but then my hard drive crashed and this map was the only map that survived. Includes all three keycards, secret areas, several traps, pools, pits and puddles of nukage. Some of the switch puzzles might be a bit confusing. I apologize for the incredibly stupid-looking spaceship at the end of the map; I suck at building spaceships in vanilla format.

A very nice first map with some interesting details and a spaceship!   Doom needs more spaceships.   Combat was a little flat (imp stairway for example) but not terrible by any means.   Found 66% of secrets on first try, so I can see me playing this again.   A fun map that is worth 5 minutes of your time.

Solid gameplay, good'ol old-school style design, monster placement just standard, I don't have much to complain. Maybe a little short but for the first completed level by the author I would say it's nice.

 

Oh, and it rarely to see some female DooMer did mapping. 4/5

(For some reasons, the reviewer of T/nc #442 mistakenly used "his" to reference the author in the review, I guess the culprit would be "RTFTextfile". :P)

Its okay, nothing ground-breaking, but in a sea of 90s quality shit, its pretty good.

aesthetically speaking this map is superb esp last area and overall ambiance.but as memfis point out this map has highly unimaginative and tamed monster placement,which makes gamepaly/combat section rather poor,secrets seems tab filler too...still enjoyable fun stuff

Agreed with Memfis, though this way of monster placement didn't really bother me as much. Cool stuff o/

Tasteful oldschool detailing and texturing - I love it, especially the final area with a spaceship. Cool status bar too. Unfortunately, the gameplay is very disappointing: it entirely consists of shooting monsters that appear in front of you, there is no threatening enemy placement whatsoever. Still very good for the first finished map of course.

      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.
