About This File

This is level 1 of a 9 level storyline episode.

You thought it was all over after you finished the grand tour in hell after Episode 3 -- Inferno.

Well, Mars Base has sent in an urgent distress call and this time you are called again for one final encounter against the... INVASION!

Prologue to UPPER DECKS, two map adventure that beats the hell of all 94 maps. Hidden gem.

This is...a spaceship map made in 1994. And it IS well made for 1994, but it does have dated elements in it. There's a central area with a teleport ambush. Then there's loads of rectangular rooms with shotgunners and then there are the cramped vents/tech tunnels with loads of imps with lifts in between them.

    There's also a big flaw in the map. IF you get to a certain big room without the red key, you're stuck. There are also a couple of crusher traps, that require some fast thinking. Ammo is plenty. I would still recommend playing this just to see what 1994 were like.

Not as good as the sequal, but still a 5/5 for fun.

Impressive, atmospheric wad for its time, but it hasn't aged well. The rooms are very square with little detail for the most part, and the layout isn't that great. The thing that really drags this pwad down, though, is the tunnel system. Seriously, it's the one bad part in what would've been a good wad. 3.5/5

And his cool status bar was used by several other pwads, like Tree3 (doom1 pwad by Greg Lewis), and Newdoom1 (compiled by Frank Provo). It should remain as one of the best 94's wad, played even today, 12 years after, with pleasure!!! 5/5 - Jive

This map was not bad for its age. There were a few clever traps that were far ahead of its time, and the texture usage and lighting was decent. However, there were a few annoying mazes, and parts of the map you could get stuck permanently if the wrong order is taken (I got stuck in two places and had to idclip). Overall, this is a '94 map worth checking.

This is a superior level from May 1994. The environment reminds me of System Shock, although I believe that System Shock came out a few months after this. It's a classic. It's polished, there's a steady stream of action, the environments are generally big and good-looking, and it has atmosphere. It's a class better than ninety per cent of levels from 1994 and most from 1995, and it's also better than Pop Will Eat Itself, the band.

Another under-rated Classic wad. The prequel to invade2.wad(an incredible wad), it's not quite as detailed, but the atmosphere is there. Get this one and enjoy as you'll feel like you're actually on, The Inquisiter (space ship).

      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.
