About This File

After a career running and gunning, it's time to lie down by the beach and sip some pina coladas. But! Yo ho ho, things get hairy once again and aliens land right on top of your humble home by the sea. Time to hit the road. The THUNDER ROAD.

Thunder, feel the thunder, lightning and the thunder

 

this is a very fun quick set, has good layouts, where you can always backtrack to what you may have missed before, and the combat is steady paced and works well for what it has. it may be linear, but it works well.

Loved this whole set - I can relate to a lot of the ideas present in this wad. The interesting layouts and encounters were ringing all the right bells for me; not to sound arrogant but it almost felt like I was playing something I made from the future. My only complaint is that it came and went too fast - wish it had more maps but I found it to be a very solid experience for something of a mini-episode. It could be seen as a plus though since I guess it'd be easier to revisit something that isn't as long as most other mapsets that go up to 11 or beyond. Also great use of Sega Genesis/Megadrive music on the maps - really hope this author puts out more maps one day.

Awesome stuff. I am a huge fan of the design style: a little rough around the edges but therefore generally unconstrained by any obsessive "neatness." A really nice variety in map layouts, I think, and some great gameplay sequences as a result. On top of all this... the music is kickass. Would love to play more maps from ZaBigBoss :D Great work dude, this has definitely become one of my favorite sets!

Rough architecture with somewhat decent gameplay. The final map (MAP06) leaves a bad aftertaste as you're chased by an army of cacodemons while running into more and more monsters blocking your way forward. Poor music. 3* for maps MAP01-MAP05, 2* overall.

This was way more fun that I thought it was going to be. Very good use of stock textures! Dunno why it requires the geezy, but not gonna let my irrational hatred for a source port get in the way of a good time. Highly recommended. Badass Genesis music, too.

      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.
