About This File

A medium sized level built in the Ultimate Doom style. I have placed architectural and "thrown" light details into the level to make it visually appealing, not to mention the impeccable texture alignment.

Its best in UV mode (just wait till you get the super shotgun!) Depending on how you go thru the level, the monster swarms can be different depending on how you play. I added these things in to give the level more "replayability" :) There can also be a *lot* of "wandering" monster activity, so watch your back!

Its designed for single player at the moment, but if you want a proper DM version, mail me and I'll get around to it.

Very nicely designed map, with gameplay that will keep you on your toes and make you think about your route and how to handle each area.

This is an entertaining early retro design that looks like something from E4, but brighter, and with Doom2 monsters. The gameplay is fun and the design work is elegant and simple, with a professional feel (surprisingly this is the author's only Doom level). The monsters come at you in a big clump during the middle part of the level and it gets very tight on ammo; I ended up hiding in a courtyard, punching imps as they came down an elevator. It's nice and compact as well.

Tell a lie; Ben Davies also wrote level 11 of The Darkening: Episode 2, which is even better than this level. He seems to have retired after that.

      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.
