THE AWFUL MONASTERY

About This File

Welcome to THE AWFUL MONASTERY. This level is made intentionally for single player. At the beginning I wanted to make a multiplayer game-level but I have taken so much monsters in this level (e.g.: 110(!) Cacodemons at the final of the level in UV) and it's size is so big, that, when I added some more monsters, the programme did crash everytime (486 DX2-80 / 8MB). Nevertheless this level gives great fun in multiplayer mode. Deathmatch is possible, of course, but this level might be a little too big for this. Recommendation for rookies: Take skill 1! It's hot enough for you! I prefer skill 3. When I tested my wad, I had to save very often and I needed 1 hour to reach the exit.

Very good map: large, difficult, manly!

Early castle-type slaughtermap with a lot of traps. The read bricks style looks ugly, but add to the on points tense ambiance. Around 1995 mazes were popular, so this map also has one. Gameplay @ UV does offer some fights too hard for the casual DooMer, but die-hard SM fans would like. Has a bug which might cause ZDoom 2.7.1 finish the map after killing Johns head. Overall, rated as 1995 map: has some interesting scenes, and playing it gave some fun, so overall 3*.

Well... Not AWFUL but holy christ, what a level. It's a big red castle with lots of deadly traps and very very confusing progression. It's just so crazy I found it mentally exhausting. Quite epic for a late 1995 map but... oh my poor head... For playing in prboom-plus use the -blockmap parameter btw.

In the beginning you must not save the game - it will crash. First kill some monsters, after that saving is possible.

It's a killing floor styled map. A nice maze in it. Too many Cacodemons, and it uses in my opinion the worse music included in Doom 2. The level design however was better than what I expected from a map in 1995. Not too blocky, but still the rooms are square. SQUARE! ***

This is dated November 1995. The name bugs me; it sounds too weak. It should be THE KILL FLOOR OF THE DEPRAVED HELL BEASTS OF SATAN'S MASTER. Still, for the period it's unusually large, with almost 250 baddies, although it's very mazey and feels like a slog, at least as far as I could play it; the map continually crashed v1.1.06 of GZDoom near the beginning. Obviously deeper magic from before the dawn of time is at work.

This is my masterpiece. Try it only, if you have big eggs! ;o) Greez, Gereon.

This level not only blows up normal Doom ][, but blows up Zdoom 2.0.63a... and at the very beginning, no less. Feh. Take this one back to the shop, Gereon.

      Unloved

      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

      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.
