About This File

You have been captured by the demons. As you are interrigated the head demon, known as 'Bubba' and who carries to fireball launchers, becomes curious to your resolve not to answer any questions even under torture. He approaches you and staring silently at you for several minutes he speaks...

(Translated from demon speak) ('I am most impressed a lowly human can withstand the pain of some of my best interrigators. I am now curious as to how much pain you can really withstand. I will give you a chance to get free. You must run the Gauntlet. To survive you must complete the challenges including facing my many minions, solving puzzles, and collecting the six keys needed to win. If, and I stress IF, you survive I will personally face you in combat. You beat me, you go free. I win, which I will, you may go free. Are you willing to take the challenge?)

After pretending to think it over (what choice do you really have?) you agree to run the gauntlet. You are armed with a pistol and 50 bullets. Under heavy guard you are escorted to the teleportation chamber. You set in and .....

This map has some flaws, but is still interesting to play. Worth checking out if you don't demand only top-quality maps.

This is dated July 1996. The readme suggests some quality impse - you're in prison, being tortured by an imp called "Bubba" - but sadly the author chose not to run with this. Instead the level is a decent, old-fashioned rocky hub, with 250+ baddies. Looks older than 1996 but plays decently. Tonnes of health and ammo, and a mazey layout that often makes you do the same thing over and over again. With a bit of pruning it would have been okay, but unexceptional.

      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.
