The Monastary of Korax ver1.0

About This File

You've managed to travel from the Church into the mountains. A clearing becomes viewable. As you round the crest of the mountain you see before you a large castlelike building. Creeping through the trees you come upon the entrance. Judging by the statue of a Dark Bishop you assume that this may be the monostary that a few have trained in. An earthquake jutters your thoughts as the path that led you to this place is closed off by falling boulders. You think to enter the area and clense it of it's evil, reaching to open the door you find it locked.

A pretty nice map with some nice detailing like sector furniture but ruined by some pretty bullshit parts like missing keys (at least, i didn't find any during my play nowhere) and some parts looks to be broken like a way to open the exit door, also why putting a wyvern already roaming at the start? It's like somebody put already 2 spider masterminds already at the start of a doom map, pretty much a dickish move imo.

Very uninteresting map in which you navigate through mostly boring, square rooms finding various keys and humping various walls. The combat is very low-energy (even on difficulty 4), mostly just ettins. The climactic final fight is just two chaos serpents you can easily walk past into the exit portal. As I said, the level design is almost uniformly square and uninteresting. The castle is at once trying too hard to be realistic (many square rooms with beds and tables) and failing to be realistic enough (very low-detail). This is pretty much the exact opposite of good level design in Hexen - bizarre, abstract, devious level design that still feels atmospheric and real due to the use of detail and architecture. Furthermore, this level's idea of a puzzle is hiding a key behind a completely random wall whose texture is slightly misaligned. Absolutely atrocious.

 

The idea proposed by another reviewer that this will kill "a couple hours" is completely absurd. It takes ~15-20 minutes to complete, max.

It's fine, but why did you put the rusted key in a secret? It wasn't worth the trouble to find it.

dylux: Not a bad WAD at all. Shame it's so short. Worth downloading if you have a couple hrs to kill.

      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.
