REoL TOUGH: Barron Wasteland

About This File

It was a nice, sunny day on the moon of Phobos. You decide to take a nature walk around the terrain, when you come across a weird (yet interesting) structure about two miles away. Since you walk the same route practically every day, you swore that that building was not there before. You decide to trailblaze (in the treeless plains, don't get lost!) towards this structure.

You are almost there. You decide to stop for a moment and look at the building, stretching across the hill it was sitting on, and you say to yourself: "That sucker is HUGE!"

You walk closer towards the structure, and you can finally see some detail on the structure. "Something just does not seem right" you say to yourself. You get an eerie feeling in your stomach, but after puking you brains out on that bottled Mexican water you drank an hour ago, you still press onwards, towards the ominous superstructure.

You are getting very close now. You can read a sign up ahead. About 1/4 mile from the building, the sign reads "Enter at your own risk". You heard noises coming from the structure, but as you step onto a dry twig, all the noise in that direction came to a halt. You must have fig- ured that it was the U.S. Government still trying to hide some top secret space craft like some morons in the desert who think you do not know what they are hiding. You decide to start running towards the superstructure, and you are very close. Suddenly, something weird happens.

A green puff of smoke appears all around you, accompanied by a metallic sound. Once the noise and green smog around you diminished, you realized you were teleported INSIDE the secret structure, and now you are inside the "forbidden teritory" of Hell's new tenement for all the bad boys from Hell, The Barrons, the Cacodaemons, and, well, more Barrons! Too many Barrons! Of course, a few weaklings are here as well (how did they get to work in here?).

Well, it looks like you have yet another tough mission ahead of you. All I can say is, GO GET 'EM!

In his !!READ!!.TXT file he confidentally proclaims that he is the "WORLD'S BEST DOOM LEVEL CREATOR." Well if you are the "Worlds best doom level creator" why in the hell would you make a completey under-detailed, overly-difficuly, bad lay-out map? A STEP BACK from his earlier works, those levels themselves, pretty bad.

Harsh reviews guys, harsh fuckin' reviews. Very very underrated in my honest opinion.

This is dated November 1994. The readme file is indeed crap; it's a lot of hubris. The map is a dungeon / techbase, slightly better than the typical 1994 nonsense, with more and tougher monsters than usual; in particular, lots of barons. You have loads of ammo, and the level boils down to chaingunning dozens of barons, which is tedious; you just stand there with the trigger held down, and periodically sidestep left or right. That's the gameplay, that's all there is.

"You come across a military base overrun by Barons! Need-less to say, this is to be one very tough battle ahead." Yup, and it's a battle I choose not to fight. 0/5 -Maes

      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.
