About This File

After capturing the chaos sphere from Korax, you returned to Earth and soon, with the aid of the sphere's power, you became the ruler of a powerful kingdom. Soon followers flocked to you and among them you found your most trusted aid, the wizard Ferrater. However, two days ago, upon returning from a quest, you discovered that Ferrater, along with your four most trusted warriors: Luegner, Rueckensticher, Betruegner, and Tsveioberflaeche had disappeared along with the chaos sphere. Two hours ago one of your scouts reported that he had located the five traitors hold up in a fortress not far from your castle. Now, with vengence on your mind, you approach this fortress, its dark silhoutte the only thing visible on the horizon...

The texturing & level design are not bad, but are made completely irrelevant by the horrible balance. As the fighter you're expected to go up against a ridiculous amounts of centaurs & slaughtaurs before you get your 2nd weapon or even a single item. And you'll have to fight even worse enemies if you happen to take the "wrong" path and don't get it as soon as possible. And you're expected to fight Tradactus not just once (which would be absurd enough) but at least three times. After the third fight, you're expected to kill a bunch of slaughtaurs on ledges. At that point, I had not gotten the 3rd weapon. Which means I had no ranged attack, and absolutely no way to complete the level. Boy how unfortunate that is. 

 

If you play this, play as a mage or cleric so it's at least possible to complete.

Pretty good level, but recommended only for Hexen & Deathkings veterans who've learned the nuances of the game and aren't afraid of a bit of a brain teaser. Only your second weapon is obvious, the rest being hidden in an elaborate system of tricks & secrets. I think it's a bit biased against the fighter... he'll really want that hammer, and if he can't find it soon enough he's reduced to hop & chop against some elevated beasts. 4.

Epic level. Great design and atmosphere. HARD though. Even getting weapon #3 is tricky, and not at all obvious. Getting your super-weapon really requires cleverness. Consider playing at a skill level lower than you normally do, unless you really want a challenge. Last boss fight is quite annoying, sadly. I appreciate the author wanted to do something different, but it really isn't fun. Only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5 is that fight.

      Unloved
      By D3rpyD00dlez · Posted
      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.

      The Darkening Episode 2
      By LouigiVerona · Posted
      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

      The Revenant Problem
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
