The Death Star

About This File

The DEATH STAR!!! Based on blueprints of a set built for the movie and as well as information contained in the SW RPG. These are the first of many Star Wars levels I will do, and I will eventually replace these levels' textures with my own. Doors needing keys aren't marked by colors primarily because I wanted the levels to look as much like Death Star as possible. -----> If the game runs to slowly, just run an IMPORTANT!-----> easier setting to limit the number of -----> monsters (they slow down slower machines). This isn't as bad as it used to be now that I've used a reject compiler.

Level 1 includes the chasm Luke and Leia swang across, the elevators Luke, Han, and Chewie entered on their way to the detention level, and the large corridor with the blast doors. The blueprints covered 1/6 of the level, so I had to make up the rest.

Level 2 consists of the detention level, the trash copmactor, and the security station from the RPG. I copied some of the sections for deathmatch reasons.

HINT: follow Leia's technique on getting to the trash compactor

The lack of the yellow key (presumably the "first" blue key should have been yellow) doesn't make the map unplayable - it makes it easier, in fact. If it had been a fatal bug, it wouldn't have been missed at the time, of course. Otherwise, it's an impressive piece of mapping - and a lot less buggy than many modern maps.

A piece of shit. Why are people giving this a high rating if it has major flaws like missing yellow key in the first level?

Interesting maps for 94'. But gameplay is a bit boring. There is no yellow key at first level. 3/5

One of the earliest Star Wars based levels. Running around on the Death Star blasting monsters was pretty fun :P.

The details in these levels are incredible for 1994. Seriously, it's a good-looking pwad. The gameplay is also pretty fun, but it's easy to get lost and the first level is missing the yellow key (I checked in an editor). There's also a lot of copying and pasting. Still, great for 1994! 4.5/5

      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.
