About This File

[This is an unofficial sequel to Final Doom.]

After closing what you thought was the final Gate, one Gate opened on Earth. You, as usual, were summoned to close this Gate and get back to Earth as quickly as possible. This Gate was triggered from a point somewhere in where you thought was Hell. [The planet that "Hell" was on was subsequently renamed Dante.] You must close this Gate, go back to Dante, seal any remaining Gates there, and return to Earth.

Worst wad I've ever played. Don't even bother with this piece of garbage. It's just an episode of cramped rooms that are copied and pasted.

Simplistic designs, badly set up gameplay, poorly textured, and has some bugs. Not the worst of the worst but probably not worth your time.

I got tired of this by the second level; the predominant design theme is copy-and-paste symmetry. It's a collection of small, tedious levels that are poorly designed, with doors that don't look right, monotonous textures, and clumsy gameplay. The readme is particularly poor, promising to fix all the bugs in a subsequent version - you had all the time in the world to make this, why release it with bugs? The bit about selling it for profit is amusing. By 1996 there was no excuse for something this poor.

      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.
