About This File

As you stride down to the burning city of Hell On Earth you note a baron reading a sign. The baron appears rather annoyed at the weathered sign reading "Under Construction - please come back in October." The baron gives one final scream and heads for a rock outcropping. You follow - and find yourself teleported along with the baron back to his queen's layer (nix your armor and all weapons but your pistol)!

E2M1

E2M1 is a good yet puzzling map. It contains chalk full of puzzles, secrets, and confusing traps alongside slightly cramped hallways. I also like the hellish theme incorporated and it could nearly pass as an "Inferno" Map! Another thing is that, its really impressive for 1994 and implements a lot of aspects in Doom Puzzles. Overall, a good map, could do some slight improvements on texture use though.

E2M2

E2M2 on the other hand is an arena-like battle map. a lot of the architecture such as the pyramid is pretty cool and some other aspects of the map. The space of this map is quite big and it could use some more monsters and more guns with its overall big atmosphere..an average battle map, not bad!

2 maps, one medium sized puzzle-like map (with very few moments of puzzling and more of bullshitting and weird choices) and one big arena map with a spider at the end, with the first map being the "best" of the bunch with a pair of nice looking rooms, all level is themed upon fleshy / organic style, that is a style i found is pretty cool.

For both the levels you have only a plasma gun with few ammo for it, chainsaw and berserk in E2M2 while fighting a spider mastermind (the purposely queen of this place, maybe?). That's pretty random but ok. Monsters aren't many but they are from the hard side: Barons and Cacos, togheter with some cannon fodder like imps and demons and some zombie.

 

Not great, but not horrible either, just a basic map. I like the puzzle idea at the end of the map. E2M2 ended too soon imo.

Title is weird and sounds pompous, description is funny.

These two maps are dated August 1994. E2M1 is a sort-of castle level, with concentric "battlements"; it's uglier than a middle-aged man. You have masses of plasma ammo. The gameplay gets better as it goes along, almost approaching one star. E2M2 is an arena with a cyber and a spider, but it's easy to finish if you don't shoot and thus alert them - there's an impressive pyramid but no real gameplay. Neither level is impressive individually, together they are meh.

It has octagonal shaped rooms, a cyber, a spider mastermind, some computer room boxes, a crusher and a teleporter maze all on a whopping two maps. 2/5 unless you think it deserves less of a rating. z34

      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

      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.
