SAPIDUSB - Bugfix version

About This File

Welcome to SAPIDUS.WAD, the 4th installment in the UCA storyline. This wad runs under e2m4 and supports single, coop, and deathmatch modes. It also supports limited difficulty settings (basically intermediate or ultra-violent). It was created using DEU5.1, BSP1.0, and a new program called REJECT1.0. For the reject, I used a reject value of 512, so if you need to change it, you have a reference value. It shouldn't be necessary, though - SAPIDUS runs quite smoothly on my 486sx-25 at a high detail, normal-sized screen. Kudos to the author of REJECT1.0!

SAPIDUS was designed with the assumption that the player is following the UCA storyline and will consequently play SAPIDUS as the level right after DIOPATRA (UCA and TALPOIDA are the first two installments). While SAPIDUS is playable as a stand-alone, but you might find it to be a major handful that way (after all, this is the main section of the enemy base, so you will encounter a lot of monsters). Anyways, I can complete this wad in about 43 minutes at UV level either as a stand-alone or within the storyline (keep in mind that while ammo is ample, it is probably not enough to kill all the monsters if my wad is played as a stand-alone - you will just have to run from some cacodemons....). Played within the storyline, it is very possible to get 100% across the scoreboard.

Diopatra -> Sapidus. Finale of the series. Tech-base, shutdown the computer, some blind monsters, lots of corridors like Talpoida.

One of my all-time favourite DooM 1 maps.

Not bad. Enemies suffer from blindness though, but that's to be expected considering the map's age.

interesting theme (although not exactly great) but it repeats itself to hell. nonlinear, but that just makes it more confusing since the map looks the same everywhere you go, it honestly looks like it uses 10 sectors or less. i'd say it's pretty good for june '94 though, but there's much better wads that are older than this (see barsella's deadbs10 & mtfire09 for examples). still, it's in the better half of maps its age and worth looking at for nostalgia. *** -sargebaldy

I didn't like this at all. It's larger and has more enemies than most maps from mid 1994, but playing it is a chore, because the design is dull and repetitive. It reminds me of Matt Falk's "Death Star" level, but it's greatly inferior. Corridors, rooms, monster layouts are repeated over and over again. Even the final puzzle repeats itself. The monsters don't react until you shoot them, and there are few things more tedious than gunning down lots of demons with the plain shotgun.

      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.
