LAST HOPE of the UAC

About This File

Many years have passed since the first bloody encounters with the enemy, and so, the war against the demon invaders continues, unabated, despite the heroic efforts of the UAC. Time has taken it's toll as well. The resources of the once mighty UAC are nearly exhausted, while the enemy seems to grow stronger and bolder all the time... You (and possibly, your squadmate) are the last hope of the UAC. You have been chosen, from among the last remaining space marines, to penetrate the Caves of Steel, formerly a UAC moonbase, and somehow gain knowledge of (or access to) the legendary "ShadowGate", by which the enemy transports most of its troops and supplies. This gate cannot be destroyed, but it may be able to be used to penetrate the supernatural defenses of the enemy, somehow. You will be inserted directly into the base via confiscated enemy slipgate technology and from that point on, you'll be on your own.

An excellent episode and terrific music selection. In particular, I'd like to single out the author's "Beehive" (D_E1M2) - an epic track! For some reason, none of the numerous secrets have the secret special bit set, so you always get 0% in vanilla. Unmarked switches is another (minor) gripe. Only 87% kills possible on E1M7. Look for a demopak for this on DSDA soon. - N_A

And now, in the space station base of the UAC, he knew there were demons.

The music indeed is awesome (some may find it too pompous/heavily orchestrated though, there's even a Chopin arrangement). Gameplay is tedious: too cramped, few open areas always include cyberdemons… Many custom sounds don't help: some are acceptable (teleporter), other highly annoying (zombiemen deaths). Overall, this is a bit like Icarus or Marswar, similar texture use, progression and poor implementation of nice ideas. 1st level is for fans of Jon Landis' claustrophobic mapping style. 3/5 stars, vdgg

Nice episode. A bit too easy for the most part though.

For 1997, this is really shitty. At least the 3 original tunes are nice; shame the author won't let other people use them in maps. Not that he'd care 14 years later, but... 1/5

      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

      The Revenant Problem
      By Ranger Qwerty · Posted
      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.
