About This File

I made this map years ago when I was 16, I hope you guys like it. It is a random mess, hence the name. But it has a lot of different themes and secrets.

This is a surprisingly hard and good old map. The difficulty comes from lack of ammo, cramped spaces & hitscanners - some hide in dark spots and catch you out. It necessitates cautious play, where you need to make every shot count, & you feel the pain of every hit. Infighting is important, & the chainsaw can also be grabbed early saving crucial shells against demons. The texturing runs through themes, but the visuals are good. It’s like a puzzle & takes a few tries to complete but is rewarding & fun.

This is a tricky 1995 map with some clever traps which require strategical thinking by part of the player. Yes, it is hard and yes, you will be hard-pressed for ammo, at least at the beginning, though it gets easier later on. I actually found the switch/key hunting more frustrating, as well as the constant noise of doors/lifts that didn't really get anywhere. The finishing touch is the "final room with all the goodies" cliche', including all 3 keys. Hey, thanks a lot! 3/5

Everything here is connected with everything else. Lots of teleports that will put you into places where you don't want to be and force reloading or backtracking. Non-linearity hurts this map badly. A tedious map in overall. Surprisingly good visuals for a 1995 map.

5* legendary? No, not at all. This is a typical 1995 style, enthusiastic but amateurish map with a lot of flaws common for those days. Feels indeed like a random mess. Fights are too often duplicated. Also often way too dark. Ammo @ UV is tight but absolutely enough. But it does have some gameplay. Rated as 1995 map with a few nice moments: average, so 3*.

One of the few maps I didn't complete lately. Not enough ammo for me to enjoy playing on UV skill with a bizarre assortment of weak and boss monsters milling around. Map is non-linear but the 'wrong' path is invariably fatal. Aesthetically, this has nothing to recommend it. Music is from Terminator 2.

Awesome map! It is hard and suprising, only con is that the rooms could be a little bigger. There is a suprising outside area.

      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.
