About This File

Doomguy takes some magic mushrooms to relax. Demons invade. Doomguy finds new, altered forms of hell filled with demons. In short, a little experimental WAD.

    First two levels are Wolfenstein 3D - tier corridor fests (albeit quirky), not very engaging, but after that the maps become much better. Huge vistas in an underground cavern, silent teleport fu***ry and heaps of small neat details. Very oppresive atmosphere at times.

    DooM maps have a langauge of their own. You know what you expect from a DooM map. Monsters, keys triggering traps, there is an assumed flow. I love it when maps subvert these expectations, and while these maps do not go full chaotic (and there is a balance, it cannot be too random, there does need to be a theme), I love how the world seems to be tearing at the seams, and about the only thing you can cling to as familiar to a DooM map is killing Demons.

    So yeah, I guess you could say I liked it. Too bad it's so short. Hopefully Shrooms 2 exit the Mordeth hell.

Had lots of fun playing it. Good levels, great aesthetics, and well humored. It's short too so i recommend checking it out.

Gameplay wise this WAD is okay, nothing too spectacular, but what it does right is detailing and setting the mood correctly. I recommend this if you like special effects in your Doom levels and it's short enough to beat in about an hour or so.

I felt mentally encumbered while playing this. Not bad for a jokewad, but quite bad for a normal WAD. The music made want to cut this WAD to tiny pieces with a silver teaspoon.

Loved the surreal nature of this. Entertaining on the whole, but a little too dark to see clearly at times. Maybe that was the point. Great if you want a wad to play for about an hour.

      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.
