About This File

A large (63549 linedefs) map for First-Try Demo Contest #16, which was held at 10.31.2015 14:00 UTC. The archive contains demo files for 15 contest participants and table with results, located in "fdc16" subdirectory. The demo files have been corrected to run properly with this version of wad (skill 2 instead of skill 4)

It is recommended to use "Hey, not too rough" (contest difficulty) or "Hurt me plenty" for first walkthrough. "Ultra-Violence!" for hardcore players only!

A tremendous mapping effort resulting in a bit of a letdown. The first part of the map is awesome. Then you go into vast outsides where hitscan and lost soul dickery happens, but it's easily avoided. Then there's ruined temple area where I just couldn't figure out what to do. After many minutes of pointless noclipping I quit out of frustration. Maybe I missed something obvious. 3* because it had potential but doesn't deserve more.

This is really good. Though it does kind of drag on for way too long, I did like most of what I saw here. Quite difficult too. Nothing too fancy on overall texturing, the detail is quite good, and definitely one of the biggest maps I've seen in some time. 4/5 Stars. Save usage strongly recommended.

At the very least a remarkable technical achievement. I'm left thinking we should all just pack up and go home now.

A really superb grand scale map with great indoor and outdoor exploration that creates a nice sense of adventure. Great architecture, monster and ammo placement, and overall good gameplay. Recommended! For those having trouble playing? It flawlessly with the latest Zdoom development builds.

Mixed bag. Pros: huge amount of work, technically solid, extremely decorated. Cons: many scenes have too high copy&paste factor, too much snipers, too predictable fights, missing leitmotiv leading to too much searching, too well hidden secrets. Overall: on points nice adventure which took, due to the lack of variation in gameplay, much too long (2:40) to complete @ HMP. Verdict: 4* for a one-time play map. BTW @ below: works fine with ZDoom 2.7.1, so 0* is unfair.

      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.
