Escape From Baron Hill

About This File

Okay, so your on this expedition, with the prime directive in mind, "To find and destroy new life and new civilizations, to boldy kill what needed to be killed anyway." Unfortunately, the pilot of your ship was hammered and ran BAM into a mountaintop. Luckily, YOU were able to escape, and as you parachuted down to the ground, you see ANOTHER person from your expediton land somewhere else. Although your ship had many high-tech super weapons on it, all YOU have is a damn stupid hand gun. Maybe the aliens on this planet have some primitive weapons on hand somewhere. When you land you trip and fall into a cave below you. Then you notice something. Electric lights. Hmm, maybe these creatures are not so primitive after all. Then you remember stories of the "Barons of Hell" that made this planet their home and brainwashed all the cute animals around so they would be some really nasty critters. "Shxt," you say to yourself, "this is gunna be harder than I though. Hope that other guy is still alive."

This is from April '96. It's a short, fairly anonymous level that didn't offend me, although it doesn't stand out in any way. It feels like a decent 1994 map. There's too much reliance on unmarked doors, and it looks very simple and plain, but it's surprisingly non-linear and you can finish it in several ways (unofficially in less than a minute, although I think you're supposed to get stuck at the end). Mostly weak monsters, a few barons, plasma, rockets.

      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.
