About This File

12 maps made during the thirteenth Abyssal Speedmapping Session in the space of two hours, with 15 minutes for music and texture selection and 15 minutes for bugfixing.

Considering this session marked one year since I started these sessions, I let them other mappers choose the themes. They chose

- E4 - Abbatoir - John Romero style

Scifista42 used the Alfonzo treatment.

Woah! Look at that, an ASS that's quite good! 12 maps made quickly and with a free design, but that apparently fell into a general design inspired by my favorite episode: Thy Flesh Consumed. With a demonically gothic aesthetic, full of green marble and lots of lava, these maps prove that speed is not detrimental to good visual design. Fast and tight, the combat is intense and requires good attention, with a few bullshit maps that make us suffer a few ''jokes.'' On the upside, this is probably the most solid ASS there is in terms of consistency and quality among the first 13. Jimmy, Matt Tropiano and AD_79 are mapping wizards; their maps are fantastic, fun, flow brillantly and are just goddamn fun to play. I'd give this set a 4 if it weren't for the crappy ending, but the rest: chefs kiss. Especially recommended if you're a fan of the style and aesthetic of Thy Flesh Consumed. The Romero and McGee ink is felt quite greatly in some of these maps.

 

A nice ASS. Would play it again.

This is better than the average speed map set. Maps are short, as expected, but gameplay and visuals are good.

      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.
