THE BEGINNING OF HELL ON EARTH: FIFFY'S INTERPRETATION

   (17 reviews)

About This File

After fighting your way through the final end boss of INFERNO, you return to the plannet Earth after a mission well done. You, B.J. BLAZKOWICZ, were part of a big N.Y.C. ticker tape parade to celebrate the end of hell's reign of terror! You then go back home to your wife and kids in your 5'th Avenue penthouse.

While watching Wheel Of Fortune, right when you think you solved the puzzle, a special report interupts your programming. You change the channels, but ALL the stations are airing a report on something horrible happening near the top of Mount McKenley. Daemons from hell are building a main HQ building to try and take over the earth! This gets you very angry, after all, you thought you solved the puzzle on Wheel Of Fortune!

You knew what you had to do. You had to go to Mt. McKenley and teach those ingrates a lesson before things get out of hand.

You arrive to the base from Hell atop Mt. McKenly. It's a big metal building filled to the rim with hell's creatures. You walk in and find you are too late. Hell already started throwing Earth into total chaos, but YOU can reduce the effect!

Reports state that 24 hours ago they started sending daemons out into the world, through a special EXIT switch scattering these bastards all over the plannet. You trip an infared beam, and the creatures re-wire the switch to only bring you to E1M2, and all enemies are on full allert to search and destroy you! Most of them are hiding secretly throughout the building waiting for you! You never knew anything about their technology anyway, so you're objective is not to fix the switch, but to clear the "metal halls of hell" so no more creatures will wreak havoc on Earth. After all, if all are dead, no one can fix the switch, and no one can transport them- selves to the four corners of the globe!

Go in there and kick daemon butt! If you fail, Hell on Earth will become a force too great for all armies to face.

Oh, dear. It remains a mystery why Fiffy decided to publicly release this. I know that this, in some parts of the community, is considered a candidate for the "worst ever" WAD. I don't agree, it has it's fair share of action... pointless action, yes, but nonetheless. Overall what you'd expect from a first try in 1994. --1/5

I guess even Fiffy had to start somewhere. Absoulutley Awful.

I've certainly played much worse. Also, I'd like to point out that skilled Doomers may have some fun with it; the wad is fairly intimidating on the UV skill. Most Doomers, however, will find it too frustrating on hard and too boring on easy. --- 1 Star.

The most fun I've played in the fiffy series. But I didn't think about defence so I opened all doors. There's no need to be carefull on uv because there's a berserk. 3.5/5 coldfusio

      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.
