About This File

This is my first level, but don't let that put you off... hey, it even has an exit :). Seriously, it's gotten good reviews from some well known Wad authors. Try it out.

This level is rather difficult in the higher skill modes and is not suited for beginners in any skill setting. I tried to design it such that the higher the skill setting, the more secrets you would need to find in order to complete the level. WATCH YOUR AMMO and remember, there's more than one way to kill a monster!

This is the first release of this wad to the internet. All previous releases have been to compuserve. This wad has nothing to do with the Quake "Soldier of Fortune" levels. I didn't even know they existed when I first released this wad (July, 97).

A good combination of action and clever puzzles. Too much fun.

The insta-kill traps, traps in general, and puzzles really killed my enjoyment of this level. :\

Quite nice. I like a binary puzzle, and others too. I like wooden textures and they are quite often used here (as this being a mansion is not that surprising). I couldn’t solve all the puzzles (how to return from left side of the sewers, or how to get to alcoves with arachnotrons?) so the rating is only 4. Also, I had to skip killing some monsters due to lack of ammo. Luckily I had BFG, so Cyberdemon wasn’t much of a deal.

Really hard, cheap traps, good layout though. Stuff like enemies behind solid midtextures and completely undetectable insta-kill traps. Don't go for the radsuit in the room after the stairs.

This is not hard because of its difficulty, it is hard because of the cheapness. Doom is not some platformer made by a wapanese guy with problems. Cheapness detracts from a fun experience, which is why HR is difficult but fun because it doesn't rely on insta-kill traps and hidden high-power monsters.

Basically, a big "fuck you" to the player.

Haven't voted for that? So few votes? This is kinda hard at times but there are some great ideas inside. I like the binary riddle amongst others. Possibly the best WAD from a female mapper. 5/5 - Optimus

That's preety great but preety hard for me! Cool architecture, riddles with some additional gfx and text to help you, great original ideas, a bit too much searching though till you understand how to finish the level..

Fun and difficult map that honestly won't kill you if you pay attention to your surroundings. I managed to break the yellow key room somehow which is unfortunate, but I'm gonna go ahead and give this 4 stars just for being very intelligently balanced and also to balance out the kneejerk low ratings given above. Really cool, guys.

      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

      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.
