A very simple map w/ very simple combat. The entire arena consists of 1 circular room outdoors, w/ a single pillar in the middle. This pillar will be your only cover in this entire map.

 

There is an absolutely massive amount of ammo inside the pillar. One simply doesn't need this much ammo for 48 enemies. You can get  some cool infighting going in this map, if you rush and press the switches right away. Things can get quite crowded if you don't slay the two pain elementals right away. Gameplay essentially consists of 'circle-strafe to win' - as there is far too much room given to the player to manoeuvre.

 

Unfortunately, this map lacks an archvile. I think an archvile in that final wave would have really made this map more fun. The final 'wave' is a little anticlimatic, if you've been playing Doom for any length of time.

 

The level is also very basically textured - some differing texture usage would have been nice. As it stands, the map is very grey.

 

The level initially took me just under 4 minutes to UVMAX. I then tried to beat the level as quickly as possible, and got 28 seconds.

 

This level is also interesting for having been made w/ a very old Mac map editor, Hellmaker.

 

This map is quite fun for a quick sub 5 minute romp! :)

This is a really poor attempt at a wad, all we have is a circular arena with a good amount of monsters and two balconies with guns, ammo and health. Way too short and easy to be worthwhile also the text file says no multiplayer which brings this down even further because multiplayer is all that this wad would have really been good for, overall 0/5

OK, it's really just a circular arena which is made more tedious by the choice of (the not many) monsters: cacos, PEs and Lost Souls, all flying, and stationary arachs plasmaeing at you from the walls. The only interesting fact about it is that it was probably made on an early Mac editor (Hellmaker, MacBSP), and that you can cause some decent infighting. For the rest, there's so much ammo that it's not even a challenge. 1/5 -Maes

      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

      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.
