About This File

My first two levels. One large, one small.

**New version: fixes NoSound bug**

These levels form the first two in what will become a series of levels, interconnected by MASTER.WAD (see above). Play should start on level one, level two follows. NOTE: Although these levels feature DeathMatch and Cooperative facilities, I have not tested these, so cannot verify that they work.

********************************************** ** RUN COURT.BAT TO RUN THESE LEVELS ** ** and install these levels into your Hexen ** ** directory. Otherwise, make sure you load ** ** both WADs at once! ** **********************************************

Here's the story: You come to show your prized posession to a wizard who wants to see it, at his castle. Too bad you didn't know beforehand that he was an evil wizard! Now you are imprisoned in your bedroom. One thought fills your mind: to exact revenge. This means killing the wizard, and getting back your Book Of Spells.

Misc. Notes: * Be careful at the start of level 2 * All the weapons are in there: you will have to be daring to get them all. * Select an easy skill level to play with no monsters but one (or two.) This avoids using -nomonsters switch, but still gives a challenge.

This WAD is unplayable. Nothing really leads to anywhere, there are doors that need keys to open them which are nowhere to be found - and there are a lot of pointless switches.

      Unloved

      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

      The Revenant Problem
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
