About This File

There is a tower at the heart of Hell... At the top: the promise of salvation. But you'll first have to climb from its forgotten depths to the throne that overlooks all of Hell -- and defeat the demon prince who rules there.

I remember playing this ages ago when it was still a WIP.  I'm so glad to find it again, it's one that really stuck in my memory (thanks @00_Zombie_00 for bringing it up in the reviews!)  Such a neat atmospheric WAD, love the tower climb concept and the slow burn of action in the map.  It turned out great, right up to the end.

Played on UV, 1 life, itemrespawn true.  Didn't see a demon for a minute+ then started plowing through the high monster count and time just flew by. Very fun.
Theme/concept is interesting.
Atmospheric. 
fun and fair fights. 
Ending was "satisfying" ;) 
Great song too. 
 

Played through it a couple times  with no item respawn and I died during the end "boss fight" both times. Challenging yet fair and seemingly beatable if I were to attempt it a couple more times. Solid.

 

 I just realized this wad is pretty old and is probably widely known to be awesome by now. Not sure why I made this review. Talk about beating a dead horse.

I'd say this is up there with the best Hell-themed maps for Doom2. You can tell a lot of play-testing went in to it, since the game play balance is perfect with just the right challenge. The general ambience and layout is very well done. The ending was not a let down, unlike most other hell-themed maps. Last but not least, the visuals are wonderful. The only aspect of the map that could have been improved was the lighting, but everything else more than makes up for this.

A large map with interesting concept of going up vertically. It's difficult too, but not unfair. Very good visuals.

Pretty good map, but I have to say that the ending is sad as you would still die. With my custom monsters/acs_enter items, it's perhaps even harder. In the elevator trap, I was getting swamped with losing ammo, didn't think I would survive getting pinned against hail fire @ the top. Nevertheless, most is cool map design with alot of custom monsters hell potential, lol. ~4/5

Not bad for a first map, the combat really should be harder on UV with more monsters in some places, but I liked the way the ambiance built at the start, shows you don't need monsters all the time to set something up. The level also has a good concept, though some things can be harder to pull off in the confines of vanilla Doom compared to GZDoom. The detailing is fine. There is clear potential. I'd really say 3.5 out of 5 but I'll round it up to 4. Thanks for making it.

      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.
