Extinguished

About This File

A somewhat difficult DOOM 2 map playable with any limit-removing engine. This map was originally meant as a remake of MAP21 of Doom 2 ("Nirvana"), but soon became its own thing entirely. The original Sanskrit word "nirvana" meant "extinguished", hence the level's name.

This wad features a custom palette that I made myself. I think that it gives the level a more grim and less cartoony vibe without being quite as dim and dark as Sigvatr's PalPlus palette.

A note regarding one feature of this level: If you reach the exit, having slain every monster in your path, and yet the map screen shows that 100-150 monsters still roam the map, you have not accessed all areas of this realm, and thus you have not thwarted the Gatekeeper's attempt to drive you insane. Search harder.

A map with well-designed sector-specific lighting. Skillful play of light and shadow highlights this map against the background of many others that are created in standard textures. More than visually, the map is captured by a difficult gameplay. Very often the player is locked in a tight space with the company of dangerous opponents. With the deficit of the place for maneuver, it is necessary to show wonders of stamina to survive. This is especially characteristic in the hall with a yellow key, where the barrage of the mancubuses fire does not put much chances for survival. On the whole, close corridors are very interesting to explore, but here one must be on the alert all the time.

 

Great map. I was save it in my collection:

This a beautiful map with great visuals, masterful lighting and moody atmosphere. But the difficulty is on the asshole level. How many times do I have to reload? With more fair monster placement this would be a 5*, with stupid monsters its only 3. Perhaps I should've tried on a lower difficulty level.

Good map, sometimes a bit unfair with monster placement, but a decent challenge nonetheless.

      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.
