Inver Tech Compound as its called in game rather than Inver Technologies is a simple, easy, tech level that was still fun to go through. The biggest criticism is that the enemies and challenge is a bit sparse. So sparse I played through the level again on a higher difficulty, but it didn't seem to ramp up the challenge.

 

Its a healthy sized level with plenty of circles, switches on ledges open doors below, get a key, use a transporter that takes you to the door you need the key. While it has a bit of a confusing layout, it played smoother on my second play through. It looks like a Doom 1 tech base. You start outside and work your way in. It has plenty of out of the way areas with ammo and a good secret area. There is a lot of variety in this single tech base, good use of stairs and heights.

 

As mentioned before, the greatest issue is lack of challenge. The hallways are big so you can dodge anything, but the enemies are relegated to the rooms. For the health, weapons and ammunition, there's just not enough enemies to go around. Even on 'hurt me plenty' I just mowed everyone down and managed to have 200% health and armor. I kept waiting for the enemies to teleport in or walls to open up each time I found an empty room with ammunition. Sure there are wall opening moments, but its like 90% safety.

 

If you want tech bases or an easier, more relaxed action level, then this is for you.

      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.
