Release me!. Love the puzzles and mazes and expect a lot in here. The previous Cleimos maps for Doom are relocated here. That tank enemy appears rarely. Check the boss graphic Its awesome.

Too much plain geometry in design. Gameplay often falls into great boredom depths with all these up&down plats and labyrinths. Some relatively good levels don't worth a whole play through. Anyway I try it... and now I hate this thing.

Really fun for its age! 4/5

It is a bit of a mixed bag, mostly because of the first Cleimos levels being made for Doom II. Otherwise the newer levels (The Five, Stairway To Hell, etc.) are very cool and well designed. The mazes can be a bit tiring (MAP16 being the worst in this case) but overall the better quality maps are reason enough to hold on to this long lost gem. Also, the WAD file can be found elsewhere online like AtomicGamer and the like. ~Valkiriforce

This was one of my favorite WADs way back. It has aged pretty well but isn't flawless. Some puzzles like the teleporter puzzle in level 25 can be annoying, but are never too difficult. The gimmick with the exploding barrels is dumb. It has a lot of variety in the maps, but the flow is questionable at times. It feels more like a compilation from a variety of authors. Also there is far too much ammo and is hardly ever challenging. An enjoyable megawad, but you can do better as well. 3.5/5

While the repeat maps are a detriment, this wad is highly imaginative and captivating. Some of the puzzles can be annoyingly hard, but it is overall a very enjoyable wad. Don't let this classic pass you by! 4/5

I must digress with what people are saying. While some things about it are good, many of the new levels include pretty annoying stuff like invisible automap line abuse, a teleporter maze and rising floors that make navigation a chore. It shows how the more classic WADs like MM or Requiem are considerably more fun to play through. Mapping skill is present, but the concepts of many maps fail: Too many mechanical gimmicks degrading the action. [2/5] ~Chain Mail (07/2011)

This is one of the best pwads of '95. The levels start out amateurish but end up really great by the end. The Cleimos 1 levels should've been left out because half of them were crap. 4.5/5

32 (26+4) level megawad from a becoming TNT member. Small scale maps but this is really good. The 2nd file of this wadset is in cleim20b.zip (3863)

Technically impressive (considering for it's age), but gameplay fail too often into insane mazes, boring puzzles and strange layout solutions. Not comparable with classic megawads. ***

How am I supposed to play this? There's just a .000 file which doesn't work.

A classic megawad that's very much responsible for getting me back in Dooming. A couple of weird levels but for the most part they are very original and fun.

A very good wad. The new levels look better than the originals (which are still reused here) and the vast majority of them are fun to play. The only real level that really annoyed me in gameplay is the one with all the identical areas and teleports; boring and comfusing. Otherwise this is good stuff, if no better than average on architecture (and the original Cleimos maps some bordering on ugly) but it's quite acceptable for 1995.

I started playing this after completing CLEIM10, and I must say that the repeats just made me enjoy it more and play through them faster, and some oversights and errors present in CLEIM10 were corrected. Not much of adaptation to Doom 2 though, mostly feels like a Doom 1 WAD. Still worth a go. 4/5 -Maes

It's great, but I have to subtract a point, because they re-used the levels from the original Cleimos among the new maps. They are good, but new levels in place of those would have been better. And the fact that the last 4 levels are really made for dm. So the SP really ends at map26.

Overall this is great. Some very original gameplay ideas, especially puzzles, which can be frustratingly tricky to solve at times, and yet I enjoyed even the second to last level which is the hardest to figure out. Still, there are far too many normal walls that turn out to be doors etc. Even with some obvious flaws and some poor maps, this certainly is an early classic. Recommended. I couldn't get the wad extracted properly from these zips here btw, and was forced to find a proper wad file elsewhere.

      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.
