About This File

3 medium sized levels from 2014. Born as speedmaps, but ended up spending way too much time on them. Can be pretty challenging.

Frankly, I'm glad this wasn't speed mapped but polished instead. This WAD doesn't screw around and throws you into a tight fit from the get go. You will have to find your ground, stand it and then slowly conquer the rest of the map. This goes for the first map. The second is a bit lighter on difficulty. The third, however, begins as a huge, empty facility that will very quickly get swarmed by enemies. You will constantly need to run, keep attention to all entrances and windows and look out for ammo. That last map provides lots of rockets and the rocket launcher will be your main weapon. Don't blow yourself up!

 

As for the visuals: the theme sticks to green tech walls, raising from brown dirt and with many crates thrown around the floor.

 

This is excellent, constant action; difficult but not annoying, with complex but not complicated structures. I love it.

This had boring and confusing layouts, plus too many monsters.

      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.
