About This File

This is reminicent of a castle with moat and all. There still a few problems. Some of the walls are paper thin, which should NOT be done (I wish I'd known that earlier). Bitmaps don't all line up either.

Surprising even, one of the newest community maps out there, 1994, wow, but it's still a bad map, the encounters are interesting, the layout is the most superior aspect here, but it still doesn't support the technical errors that even for 1994 were already guaranteed by the original DOOM maps.

Weird textures, lack of variety, lack of a more interesting design than platforms going down or going up in the dark, some moments were really fun like the dark cave itself, but the fun lasts very little, with spaces that are too tight, and a shallow exploration.

One of the earliest Doom user maps and It shows. Despite the raw and empty design, the author take a good use of 3D space creating a small fortress surrounded by mountains, the level Is fun to play and not hard. A fancy escapade and a piece of modding history.

A very early level indeed; it's a big but most empty castle with some 'battlements', a dungeon and a fireplace. There's a rocket launcher and a plasma rifle, but only a dozen or so monsters, which are shotgun chaps and the pink piggies. Possibly not bad in deathmatch. Still, it's interesting to see what the world was like back in in 1994; I wonder where Aaron Auseth is now? He must be all grown up.

This is one of the earliest levels. No need to be so harsh with the review. This is one of those levels that got me interested in what the Doom engine can do. Thanks for all your hard work!

Although this is a really old wad, it could've been done better. Anyway, gets 3 stars for the high nostalgia factor. -- 3/5

E2M3 replacement from the early days of doom wad editing, this is very basic for singleplayer and would have probably been ok for deathmatch but when I looked in doombuilder there are only 4 player starts and each of these are huddled close together. I suppose this is not too bad there are far worse from 94 and although easy and basic this is still worth a play for old-skool doomers. But I will rate this based on how it looks and plays now and I can only give this 2/5 but still a piece of history

A product of the "Guys, I made this can you believe it?!" era of mapping. Sure, half of it is HOM, but c'mon, it's what? The 3rd or 4th level ever made? I'll cut it some slack.

It's a very early map, and it's not a good one. Not the worst though.

      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.
