The Grim Reaper

About This File

Primarily single player level. I don't make too many deathmatch WADs and I'm rather reluctant to release them, because there are so many DM WADs around. It takes much more time and ingenuity to create a good solo/co-op level. Mission objective: don't let the Grim Reaper lay his bony hands on you... Avoid his scythe and make it to the exit, possibly in one piece. One thing more: pay attention to the scrolling hints on the walls!

Interesting lyrical puzzles in a brown-y dungeon, some custom textures and fun gameplay.

Played on UV, GLBoom+

 

This is a very decent map for its era, but is not without its flaws. Plenty of enemies and traps, but more than enough health, armour and ammo to deal with them. The trickiest bits are the section near the beginning, where a couple of the chaingunners appeared to be able to shoot through solid barriers, and an 'infinitely tall' imp can cause problems, and the encounter with a couple of archviles later on, which needs to be dealt with promptly and effectively.

 

The lyrically-related puzzles are an interesting element and work pretty well. The elevator device near the end is clumsy though - it takes an eternity to go up and down, and the situations it engenders are predictable and tame.

 

If you want to experience a more challenging and polished map by this author, try his later Hidden Mountain Factory wad.

 

Around 65/100 for this level though.

A decent wad from 1996. The level design is okay, and features a clever-but-confusing puzzle. There are new textures, but unfortunately the author uses them over and over. It's still a fun pwad, though. It just needed a bit more variety. 3.5/5

This old forgotten level is a real hidden gem. Considering the time of it's release, it's not half uninjoyable to play today, so I'd say check it out. 4 stars. -TeH NeXuS

      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.
