About This File

/Story ......This WAD was started in January 1996 and available for the first time in November 1997! Due to cheap floppies and a Hard Drive crash this WAD has been built and rebuilt countless times. This time we went for excellence! Using various editors and the finest MIDIs we offer the third installment in The Lost Wads series! This is a pretty big level with all sorts of tricks and traps! Try to find the secret room included within the level. ......The story is the same. Those idiots allowed it to happen again, it's up to you to stop 'em!

This is dated November 1997 but apparently has a lengthy and chequered history. I haven't played any of the other levels in the series. Overall it's not bad, although the layout seems deliberately designed to get you stuck if you get the yellow key too soon (why?). Apart from that, it's a competent, dull dungeon level that feels unstructured and a bit buggy; you can finish without exploring about a third of the level, including a pointless cyberdemon fight.

      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.
