In Satan's Lair

About This File

After killing the big badass at the end of Doom2, you thought that was that, but although *most* of Hell was destroyed, the biggest badass - Satan himself - survived, and has kidnapped John Romero. You must go into Satan's Lair - or Quake may never be released...

You start out in Satan's lair and make your way slowly through to confront SATAN HIMSELF (who by a complete coincidence looks exactly like the Cyber-demon). After killing him with your rocket launcher, you find you can't see John Romero so you go on past a wierd Nazi cult and stumble into the Spider- demon's nest, where it is protecting it's son and one of it's eggs (which by another EXTREME COINCIDENCE looks like a blue skull key). You destroy Spidey with your BFG and go on to discover that you are too late... John Romero has not only been decapitated and his head put on a spike, but his mind has been possessed by the demon Nekcihc - leaving him in constant torment... Now you have to put him out of his misery and destroy Nekcihc to save humanity.

or something like that.

There is a parallel Earth where the Columbine killers were brainwashed by Doom II and became infamous, not for shooting up a school, but for cutting off John Romero's head and blowing it up. For all the readme's bluster this is just a series of undetailed, monotextured arenas with a handful of monsters in each - you can run through most of it and ignore them. It gets a bit more complex towards the end, but not enough. Behind the curve even for August 1995.

      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.
