About This File

"You are shoved roughly through the door, and you don't even have time to watch it slam shut behind you as a nearby guard punches a hole in your leg with a well placed bullet. They said you were free to go, but you didn't know you'd have to run this little guantlet first before you make it to the exit. You have a battle to fight, freedom to gain and nothing to lose... but your life."

(this is my first wad, but it could be thought as a "shareware" version to my upcoming full episode replacement wad) Just wait... there are bigger and better wads coming soon!

This is a decent late-period Doom 1 level. It's short and unspectacular (less than a hundred weak monsters), but the design is pleasingly complicated and it's amusing enough. It doesn't really stand out, and seems more like a good 1994/1995 level than something from as late as 1996, but it's competently put together and I was in a good mood.

Decent gameplay, okay appearance with only a few small visual quirks. Not spectacular quality but better than many other PWADS. May be worth checking out.

A good wad from '96 that is balanced, fun and is not ugly on the eyes. The map is not as short as I thought it would be and is of an average normal size. Keys are used well in this map and the pregression is smooth. However as the reviewer has said above me it looks like it is from '94 or '95. And because of this it makes the map easily forgettable, regretfully so as the quality of this is rather good and is worth your while 3/5.

I had the Moderator for the Fidonet Doom Echo upload this to the internet, and a man from South African downloaded it. He had a problem with the game, it was discovered he was using an out of date version. He got in contact with me. About a year later we were married. The general feel of this wad was supposed to be similar to the originals. I wanted it to feel like it was part of the original set but an alternate story. After 16 years, I am glad those who have played it did enjoy it.

^ What a nice story. The wad is quite nice as well, with good texturing and some non-linear bits. My only gripe is that you don't get the chaingun until the very end of the level, so for the most time it's pure shotgunfest and it gets a little bit repetitive. Still, very nice, especially for 1994.

An old level that's not bad for the time. But it's not great either. 3/5 from me. -TRRobin

      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.
