100% Slaughtermaps. If you like cleaning-up a room or an open area with a zillion of monsters, and repeat that more or less identically a hundred or so times, then this might be your megawad. If you're looking for an adventure or some more subtle kind of gameplay, skip it. BTW some slimetrails in the open area at the end of map04.

Excellent looking maps unfortantiantly TOO MANY monsters ruined the whole concept. I found myself shooting constantly with no quit or break for even couple of secs even with various weapon mods its still hard even on easy. Also the maps are very big its easy to get lost.

This is pretty dire. The maps are the poster-children for the "follow the detail guide with no sense of architecture" school of aesthetics, there's tons of crap on the walls to get caught on, enemies are frequently misused (Spectre usage is particularly bad), items are placed into little tiny nooks where they can't be grabbed effectively (particularly egregious with Stimpacks). Many fights can be chokepointed, and much of the layouts is basic room-corridor-room stuff. Bleh.

Great offering, and one of the best gameplay-oriented mapsets as of recently. Fun for both casual playthroughs and speedrunning.

Pretty fun and good designed wad, but many prepared templates and copy-paste in some places.

ah, I can definitely say I'm rather glad that that stupid switch at the end of MAP12 finally works, now I can really review this.

 

so Rush is a 13-level set from an author known for cunning maps. note I didn't say slaughter, and the textfile even says "slaughterish". basically speaking, these maps tend towards mini-slaughter, which is usually setpieces, and the maps themselves are small. the size of the levels is actually a major plus, heaven forbid I take too long in some slaughtermap with way more than it really needs. several themes are tackled, but they don't matter that much, what matters is the overall fun factor of mowing down the hordes in each level. the ice levels are probably the best, both in design and gameplay, and MAP12 is an appropriate closing map, almost rivaling Sunder in difficulty and detail.

 

if you really want to survive through Rush's nastiest ordeals, you gotta figure out what you're doing and which targets take priority. maybe watch those infighters, find hidden teleporters and switches to save ammo against mancubi, and always watching the back for the stray arch-vile who comes in. the difficulty progresses very well. there's just fun to be had with Rush, and sometimes, fun is all that's necessary.

I am not a slaughter fan, but I was curious, played mostly with iddqd, some maps are not so much slaughterish, liked it, looks good, winter theme, manageable progression 4/5

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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.
