About This File

Just a map I made last month. You need to escape a traphouse built by a human traitor...and kill the demons along the way.

Average map with some good quirks like the spaceship at the end. But yeah, a bit too hard in some places.

 

2BaraKornel:

I may be wrong, but it seems that you are not supposed to engage demons and archvile in the very beginning of the map. Pressing the switch right off the bat is a very bad move. There is an alternate way that is hidden. You should find it yourself. I managed to locate it after a couple of tries.

Really, rating a level only one star because of such thing is weird unless you are a troll.

Some of the rooms looked kinda OK, some of them looked uninspired and boring. It felt like two different designers were working on the map. It wasn't that terrible, there are way worse maps than this.

 

The reason for the 1 star, is I don't think that it is beatable without cheats. Not on Ultra-Violence at least. I couldn't do anything in the first room, because as soon as I switched the door, dozens of demons came out of a room, and the Arch-Vile could kill me easily, because the player cannot hide from the Arch-Vile.

 

If you are putting Arch-Viles in a map, make sure that the player can hide from them, or otherwise it's going to be awkward.

      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.
