About This File

A large alien base has been discovered by a Scout and Survey team in the Regulus Cluster on a close Terran analogue. Sensor readings show possible traces of a highly advanced technology. You've been assigned the job of exploration. Relax! Fleet Intel reports that it's 99.999% likely that the base is unoccupied and probably friendly (yeah,right!). You won't be allowed to carry any weapons in but your pistol... as usual.

FI also reports that sensors show five areas adjoining the main plaza, and suggests exploration counter-clockwise from the southeast. Some security gates and devices do seem to still show energy flows... strange. You will beamed into one location showing some anomalous energy readings.

By The Way - you wouldn't want to upgrade your insurance plan now - would you?

Jim Flynn's early magic with S. Harper, puzzles and puzzles. Plasma party on map 03. Watch the oracle for clues.

If you're gonna play just one level from the Maximum Doom collection, it's got to be this one.  Massive, varied, unique, incredible

Very big, a lots of exploring. For 95 very good design. In monster placement a bit overuse of changunners. Overall I recommend to play

Not my favorite wad......it just feels too random and as the reviewer below states "dumb luck plays a part". With all the to'ing and fro'ing you have to do perhaps it should have been called yo-yo!!!!!

Fucking amazing for a 1995 wad, but it took me an hour to beat the map. It's way too confusing on the first playthrough because dumb luck plays a part in finding everything. Also, it's pretty ugly and the second map is awful. Still, this is one PWAD you NEED to play! 4.5/5

At first it was cool to scavenge for weapons amid cacos and barons in map02, later it got easier but it was still OK, then... TIME SUCKS. After wasting quite some time searching, I had to cheat with DB to understand how to get get to the yellow bars, with that multi-destination tele. Way too obscure and luck prone: may be OK for the 2 secrets but not for that. Same goes for the rising ground at the start of map03. I ran around like a wacko hitting use till the switch appeared.

Five stars. This is incredible for 1995, still pretty good nowadays. It's a very large and intricate level - vast for the time - and there's a lot of wandering about, but I was never bored. It's packed full of ideas and simple design tricks, and although the look is a bit old-fashioned it impressed me no end. After exploring for what seemed like ages I was still finding new bits. There's a second map, but it's overshadowed by the first.

      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.
