DANTE'S GATE version 1.2

About This File

This is a revision of my first level. For the most part, the only "theme" I had in mind was to make the level as aesthetically pleasing and consistent as possible. In other words, I wanted it to look neat. There are lots of little nooks and crannies scattered about, and (I hope) a few surprises.

Please let me know what you think by E-Mail at any of the above addresses.

Enjoy. (And if you liked DANTE, check out the next one in the series, CROSSING ACHERON.)

This is dated July 1994, an epic slightly hellish techbase that the author later revised for Doom II, as id=5294. By modern standards it's a bit spartan, you get a surplus of ammo, and there's one major bug (ironically, an "illusio-pit"), but the gameplay is sound. Would have been top of the class in mid-1994, and illustrates why the author went on to better things where countless others vanished; most levels from that period had one setpiece, this has several.

Ahhhh, this is a good example of a doom wad of classic standards. Although not much by todays standards, it is still a fun wad to play and the perfect source to get examples for your own wad. 5 stars.

I didn't like the bug where I fall through the floor so 0 stars for that alone this might have been great for the time but it doesn't measure up today

Here it is, the famous Dr. Sleep's very first publicly released work. It seems a little rough areound the edges, but there's enough action and loads of fun. It's also visually appealing in a way that was rarely seen in 1994. Considering its age, this is a pretty damn good map. --4/5

John "Dr. Sleep" Anderson, known for his maps in Ultimate Doom and the Master Levels, offers here a revision of his earliest work. For the time in which it was released, this map is fairly impressive and fun to play. The map isn't that difficult, but it's still entertaining, and there are plenty of secrets. It may not be ultra-detailed by today's standards, but it still manages to look nice with its decent texture usage, though the map doesn't really stick to any one theme. A good map. 4/5-Reckoner

      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.
