About This File

Vanilla E3 replacement for doom.wad on marble/wood/caves/hell themes. No custom textures but custom music on each map. The first half takes place underground, after that you'll finally get to see the sky. The difficulty is maybe a bit higher than in original "Inferno". The project was organised by Memfis and he asked a couple of mappers to change some stuff here and there to make the episode more consistent but he tried to not limit the creativity too much so his influence shouldn't be very noticeable.

Layout and architecture pretty impressive and an excellent challenge overall. 4.5/5

Not a bad WAD, but there are dozens of episodes more deserving of all these 5 star ratings (check out DT3, Crusades, or Styx for some great Hell-themed Episodes). Most of these maps are small and could have been whipped up in less than a week (not much detail for most of them). They leave much to be desired in the game play department. The only exceptional map in this bunch is E3M8, with more detail and better game play than the other maps. E3M1-E3M2 and E3M9 are just filler maps. 3/5

Good and easy classic-style mapset, nothing less and nothing more. 4/5

It's ok. The first few levels are very flat and are kinda boring, either due to lack of opposition or turning into a slogfest (here's a room with 10 cacodemons and a shotgun! have fun!). Old school feel, but lacks the zany fun behind Petersen's IWAD maps. Might just be the music, but it feels much slower compared to the IWAD E3's actiony nature. E3M6 is definitely the best level here, with its interconnected layout and use of windows.

Excellent classic map pack that replaces episode 3. Despiste this being Doom 1, I never found it tedious or boring. E3M7 is notable here, being a very complex and inter-connected map but surprisingly not confusing.

Just beat e3m3 - this is great so far, the new music fits and the levels are very solid and clean. The difficulty level is just right. Ammo is sparse, but not so much that you can't defend yourself. I'm enjoying it! - Doomkid

Mixed bag. 31 and 32 are imho plain boring. The others have a lot of fine scenes, good ambiance, and mostly decent gameplay. 36 and 38 partially feel sort-of 'fabricated'. Too many spectres in dark areas is not original anymore. Overall: I consider this mostly as a solid work, but the original is better, especially in terms of adventurous gameplay, so 4/5. BTW E3M8:linedef 1163 has a 3-pixels height rendering problem.

This Inferno replacement was able to bring back the feelings I had when I was eight years old playing Doom for the first time. I found myself low on ammo at times and hiding from monsters that were ready to feast on my soul. The maps are well designed for anyone that wants a nostalgic Doom feeling. +5 for keeping it nostalgic, challenging, fun, and Doom.

      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

      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.
