About This File

//****************//

Searching for new lands and secrets to claim for themselves, the UAC has toyed with the barrier between realities.



Using their best minds, they set up a lab at what they thought were the ruins of a forgotten civilization at the edge between dimensions. At first, everything went well, and the cost of the facility quickly dwarfed compared to the scientific marvels they were discovering in that otherworldly place. But the promise of a new brave future for the UAC was shattered when the base's essential systems critically failed at the same time. Then all communication with the lab was lost just before receiving a hellish and unintelligible message spoken by an inhuman voice.



Assume the worst. Assume the base has been invaded by unknown entities. You must travel to the outpost lab and assess the situation. If the worst has indeed happened, you must retrieve the red holodisk at all costs. It's a data store of everything the scientists studied and discovered. The answer to this new threat, and even the future of our species, may be there.

Nice level visually but action depends mostly on fighting the weaker monsters with puny weapons. I didn't find rocket launcher, even though there were plenty of rockets. I also didn't find SSG. Some linedefs are mysteriously missing from automap.

      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

      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.
