About This File

A small, 15 minute-ish single level wad I made as something more simple after making Tekbase.

Supports Deathmatch as well.

In Bricked, Rhys does nothing offensive. Over 10-20 minutes of play, depending on pace and completionism, you can expect fair and balanced combat, and a gradual ramp-up through the arsenal and bestiary, starting at the bottom and settling before the BFG and big bosses come out. I'd describe the dominant theme as "stock brown," with help from assets like computer panels, the silver starbase cluster, and CEMENT (the bathroom tile suite).

 

Having played many user maps, I've seen a lot of all of this before. It's okay, but little stood out. I liked the fighting most in the larger spaces, which allowed me to go out of my way to get numerous factions infighting. Interactive triggers like lifts and stairbuilders and optional switches are more common than average, and they are used smoothly (which is important, because extra machinery is simply a detriment if it's awkward and inscrutable).

 

Note: though the tally lists eight secrets, two are errant flags on a window sill.

Very basic design of room-corridor-room connections. There are height variations and non-linearity, but everything seems a bit too abstract, much like Doom 1 E1 levels. This is a properly done WAD in every aspect, but nothing more, unfortunately. Difficulty is moderate.

^ IMHO far from carefully designed. Basically this is a collection of more or less rectangular scenes. No architectonical interesting parts, texture use and detailing are spare. It's not really bad, but it's simplicity made me yawn. Gameplay @ UV is uninspired, predictable and repetitive almost to the max. Overall as-is at best meh, but it could have been 2* better when more care had been given.

Carefully designed level indeed. The combat is quite unimaginative though: the only exciting fights were the ones with arch-viles, the rest seemed trivial and a bit boring to me. I would recommend experimenting with more interesting gameplay situations: crossfires, ambushes, etc. Played with the music from TNT map05 for atmosphere.

It's a nice medium-sized level. Good design. I haven't seen any bugs, even misaligned textures. I assess this level in 5 stars

      Unloved

      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

      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.
