About This File

This project should be run with GZDoom or Zdoom. Requires the HEXEN.wad. Supported for Co-op: up to 4 players. Designed for jump, freelook and some maps require crouch.

GZDoom is recommended as some maps look strange in zdoom and map18 sometimes crashes in zdoom.

Hi there!

 

One of my few hobbies includes testing WADs for Hexen. I've played all the ones on DoomWorld, and I'm sure you're familiar with all the superb ones (eg. Scourge of Viscerus, Vaults, Caldera).

I came across this WAD a few days ago. VERY impressive.

I would even go as far as to say that if an expanded version of this was released instead of Hexen 2 (which I also quite like), or even Deathkings, it wouldn't be at all questioned.

I had a fantastic time playing this WAD. Very taken aback by the sheer creativity and ingenuity of each and every map. Any hardcore Hexen fan (like myself) would have an absolute field day with this WAD. As is typical Hexen character, the puzzle element is incredibly intricate and sophisticated, but yet somehow still not overdone.

I used zDoom and it ran fine without crashing - however it did become a bit slow and glitchy in the Garden of Torture map - especially when facing the "blender" torture device.

 

Highly recommend this WAD - very well done!

 

- Anthony.

      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.

      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.
