About This File

This is my second level and I am quite pleased with it overall. It's based (loosely) on where I work with a few additions. There are some nice puzzles and some nasty surprises. There are also plenty of secrets to find. Generally, if something is hard to do, there should be a secret around which can help, so keep alert! If you like this level, try my first level (CARREG.WAD) which is fairly similar.

It's not my style.

I kind of liked it. The aforementioned "problems" from the previous review weren't really an issue for me; the necessary switch in the switch room had a different face on it that made it stand out, and the Exit sign was directly across from the boxes that are outside of the exit room. The only issue I had was the walkway that falls away before the teleporter leading to the exit area...

Although this is based on the author's place of work, it's not obvious. It looks like a standard early Doom level, put together with more care than most, although it's a bit dull and anonymous. The biggest strike against it are some obtuse puzzles (to get the blue key you have to flick a switch in a room textured throughout with switches, and to open the exit you have to shoot an unexceptional exit sign). Otherwise it has plenty of action, although it doesn't really stand out.

The map is set in a beautiful base (in an old-school way), with mostly aligned textures (if they're not, then it's usually a hidden door). The fights are never hard, but it's very fun, so you don't really mind. The real strength here is the strong sense of location -- you can walk in and around buildings, and there's a lot of interconnectivity. The secrets are very clever, and there are many cool tricks you have to find to progress (even to exit!). Fine map, recommended. --4/5

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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

      The Revenant Problem
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
