Astonishingly, this is no trollmap. It still won't be for everyone. 

 

Visuals are generally ugly, but every area is redeemable, and interesting, for one reason or another: enigmatic mood, striking use of scale, strange custom textures, narrative detailing, etc. Clocking in at above 20 minutes without foreknowledge, it's one of darkmaster's longer maps, and he changes up the style from area to area to keep it fresh. A good idea, imo, since no one style herein is compelling enough to justify full persistence. 

 

Combat looks crude and spammy (it has a "throw in lots of revenants and, oh yeah, viles" flavor to it) but looks can be deceiving. It plays surprisingly well if you're fine with the difficulty. UV is tough. Difficulty settings are implemented, though, and HNTR and HMP yank away archviles and add powerups. Most of the monster count remains. Even HNTR is full of mid-tier bully mobs and hectic crossfire.

 

This is easily my favorite darkmaster map.

 

Also, the story in the text file is phenomenal.

      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.
