About This File

Replacement level for MAP01 for Doom II There is no particular theme or story for this wad, it is just a place where virtual people may get together and kill one another without getting any blood on their clothes.

This wad is designed for a paticular type of DM fighting. There are very few 'quick' frags when playing but rather each battle is normally a sustained test of dodging and and firing skills. Some people have commented that it is too easy for the wounded to simply run away. Well there is no 'simply' running away with this wad - mouse users will particularily like the long corridors down which can be chased the wounded opponent firing away at their back with the gattling gun. And transports, well we all know the hazards of using transports when the opponent is nearby.

This wad is the culmation of about six months of playing two player DM with many people. (At the time of release it has not yet been played by 3 or 4 player ... though it should be very good for that - i'ts quite large)

There is an exit ... try not to use it until you actually want to exit.

A bit too big, but not bad overall

      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.
