Stupidly brutal from the start to the point I had to use idkfa to make it past the first few moments. You have a choice... face four long range shot gunners with only a pistol, no health and no armor, or slink away into an excessively long, dark corridor to get pecked at by zombies like a blind gambit with plenty of health vials. The real issue is if you get out of the dark hallway and make it to the surface, its full of imps and chain gunners that shoot you from a courtyard. If you survive the first four shot gunners facing you, its the same deal, you'll get sniper shot by chain gunners.

 

Its either a map to keep you on your toes, or meant to be played with 4 players so you can actually stay alive. On the plus side, with how small the first map is it would make a great deathmatch.

 

Oh but wait... there are more maps! Despite never surviving long enough in my 10 minutes spent on level 1, I skipped to level 2 which pits you face to face with a spider mastermind in a courtyard with no cover. Your only hope is to make it to a giant secret wall full of weapons and hope you're not shot to death in that warehouse full of weapons. Its listed as a secret, so apparently you are supposed to brawl or run past a spider mastermind chained to a door with a switch. Chained as in its on a platform so you need to get past it to get into the door.

 

The other issue is the second trap where after the master mind comes a room overlooking half a dozen barons. They wake up and come toward the building. The only way to progress is to teleport into them. Survive that then its onto an icon of sin room combined with a cyber demon.

 

Overall, the map pack of 5 levels is some sort of high intensity trap. Short, brutal challenges. If you're up for that sort of thing, go for it. To me, it seemed like poor level design. Not even the use of Nine Inch Nails music could salvage it.

Its a fair guess to say the author liked Nine inch Nails. But not quite enough to find a midi for map05 it seems. The maps are very short but are decent in looks and gamely. I like the underwater (I think) section in map03.

      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.
