About This File

This is my first WAD and I think it captures the spirit of the original DOOM levels - with a few new tricks of my own! Hardened DOOMers shouldn't have many problems getting off the level - but my challenge to you is to collect all of the weapons - they're all available, from the chainsaw to the BFG - but they're not all easy to collect...

very faithful to original doom1 iwad styles(which i personally don't like much)...complex like e3m5...23 secrets seems too much though but overall its a highly crafty effort for 94...

This WAD is everything I like in a DOOM level. It has a neat layout, where it is most of the time clear where to go next, yet you can vary the route a bit when it grows monotonous. And it looks very DOOMy, silly as this may sound. Getting the chaingun requires some thinking, fast running and a bit of luck. The only flaw is the screwed-up REJECT and NODES, as monsters appear frozen until you walk right up to them, but that's easy to fix. An undeservedly forgotten early classic. - N_A

This is a very early level. By and large it mimics the style of the original Doom, and it's quite elaborate, but it doesn't have a spark of life or atmosphere. It's no fun to play, really just a lot of corridors and rooms. It deserves a star because the textures make sense and the design is miles better than the typical random psychedelic splats of these early levels, but it's fundamentally boring.

      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.
