About This File

The year is 2666 The old prison of Alcatraz still exists, but now, the prison is run by the Pentagon. The inmates are unknown to the public, but I'll tell you that much, that they include a few guys from the Roswell incident, some entities from the Bermuda triangle, a few from the Tunguska disaster. And of course YOU, and why you are there........ well..... I don't know, but suddently the lights go out, screaming, a riot, you "knock" down a guard, and are on your way..... but .... beware !!!!

That is one of the silliest descriptions I have ever read. It's always great when the author says "I don't know," in his backstory. Doofus.

would have been funnier if the author said the prison was now being run by the pentagram instead of the pentagon :)

This is dated May 1996, and it's rubbish. There are precisely two good bits - both of them giant halls that resemble the air shaft from The Empire Strikes Back. The rest is just a lot of straight corridors with monsters behind bars; you've got no incentive to fight anything, not enough ammo to do so anyway, and I straferan through the entire level, including the COUGH epic COUGH end battle COUGH. And, ye Gods, the flashing lights! My eyes!

      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.
