Two levels by TOD, created for true Doom experts only. Both of them are competently executed with functional, but pleasant visuals. The music is rather odd, but it's not really grating either, as for the most part you're too focused on the action to truly pay attention to the soundtrack.

The first map is a gantlet of challenges (hope you know how to two-shot cyberdemons) that are very tough, but each one feels ultimately fair, although the pain elemental horde can really kick your ass. There are no health pickups whatsoever in the mapset, so there's no room for mistakes; you'll probably end up saving and loading a lot, but it's satisfying to finally complete a battle without a scratch. The map is based around the rocket launcher and the BFG. It feels odd to kill single lost souls with rockets, but there's ample ammo provided.

The second level, based around the SSG and the rocket launcher, is more disappointing. It mostly revolves around revenants and arch-viles, thrown at you over and over and over again in very cramped quarters. It feels more tiresome than anything when you kill a crowd of revenants after several attempts, make a step forward, and immediately have to fight revenants and viles AGAIN.

Play the first map if you're looking to hone your BFG skills, and the second if you can't get enough of skeletons and their skinny pals.

The battles are not that interesting but very difficult.

Good idea at start (switches & cyberdaemon) but I think the switch are too little and too recessed into the wall.

Not bad visually but too simple.

      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

      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.
