Medium-sized DOOM II Altdeath levels for 3-4 players. BTW, my first real levels ever made. And don't say I didn't warn you; try out these levels before you play them. The exits are easily reachable because I think that you should not play with wimps who push the exit button when they're about to be shot. And yes, I do know of cooperative exits; but I have to admit I was a little bit too lazy.

MAP01 - Technophibia - was build first of all five levels. It contains some computer textures, hence the name. The only aim was using no new textures, which I finally did throughout all levels. The music is the main theme of Indiana Jones.

MAP02 - Moo View - was build last. It started with the two little courtyards and everything else was built around them. The name was chosen because of its magnitude; if you don't move, you won't get a good deathmatch running. The music is the soundtrack of Mission Impossible.

MAP03 - Sea Of Destruction - is, in my eyes, the best of all five levels. If you look at the map and compare it with that of MAP11, you might recognize why it carries that name. The staircase with the two towers between was inspired by a level from Duke Nukem 3D, but I can't remember by which one. I chose the music from E1M1 because I wanted to give you the good ol' feeling just like the first time you played DOOM.

MAP04 - Earth Of Power - was built as the second level. It should bring about a tense mood. The labyrinth is stolen from E3M3. The music is the song One by Metallica.

MAP05 - Lamer Dome - in fact, the smallest level, was built third, sticking to Inferno style. The name is actually a distortion of a SimCity 2000 scenario. The music is the song Head Like A Hole by Nine Inch Nails, who also made the soundtrack of Quake.

These maps seems pretty damn solid, with map04 being the weak link due to tight knit, annoying pink corridors just like in Pandemonium. Contains MIDI's you've certainly heard before. Check these out if you ever have the time, they seem fun.

      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.
