About This File

Ultimately a Level for the single player. BUT !!!! Also is good for Deathmatch, and co op. Great for 4 player, although I have never played more than two. :( Lots of nice little spots to stand back, and realise just how beatiful DOOM really is. The Reason I don't add all my levels together is because, there single levels, single ideas. I name them AXE, because you will know there from me. STORY You arrive early to the Starbase out on the far reaches of the explored Galaxy, In sector 777. Having been sent here, to investergate the First and only Worm hole. You are at the least to say, excited. Unbeknowinced to you, the "Worm hole", is really a rip in Dimentional space. Providing a gateway to a Place that wasn't meant to be investergated. Let alone Destroyed. !!!!!

Interesting map overall with some annoying moments like narrow bridges, inescapable death pits and kind of confusing layout (i had to noclip in some parts cause i didn't knew where to go or why doors can't open). But overall, good medium/hard map.

The first of the AXE series uploaded to /idgames, it appears, and the looks do reveal that in the very beginning. Texturing starts off with monotonous stone all over the place, and then the theme continually shifts throughout. The gameplay, however, is a good notch above the subsequent AXE5, with the highlight being the numerous clever uses of teleporters to catch the player off guard (the outdoor battle is particularly memorable!). Given that, I had enough fun to play it again. Good stuff. 7/10 - Snakes

This is dated June 1996. It's part of the author's long-forgotten AXE series, which was generally good. This is a solid although unsubtle stone techbase in which you fight 304 baddies. Despite the monster count it's no Hell Revealed. It could have been hard, but you have loads of ammo, and the monsters are spread out; there are some good traps near the end but the secret BFG is silly. It's a good example of a level that would benefit from a modern revision.

      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.
