- Old school map design from the 90s

- Small maps

- Easy to beat

- Many unpleasant design features like uncomfortable narrow passages, many unnecessary switch flipping and boring repetitive actions,...

This is SO bizarre that's actually a lot of FUN! Play if you like experimental design. I love it!

On a technical level this is awful - it looks like something from early 1995, and there are lots of mistakes (some of which are trivial, e.g. most of Map07 is flagged as secret, and there are loads of unmarked doors and switches). Each level has one idea and one idea only, usually executed badly (e.g. the ghost monsters in Map14, which never leave their homes). You can usually run past everything, in which case it's decent fun, because the levels are short.

I agree with the reviewer who said it's not all that bad. At least not as Cyb himself stated. It isn't a beginner megawad like DoomJr, but admittedly Cyb went on to create, much much better levels. This is a pretty plain average megawad IMO, so 2.5 stars from me. Good for a "snack".

oh Project X. you seemed like you had some potential, but you never delivered. it's basically Doom Jr. 2.0, with slightly better maps, although one is recycled altogether. these maps are very low quality and wouldn't actually feel out of place if they were in Maximum Doom. heck, even the dehacked patch and the demos for the levels are all put into SEPARATE files elsewhere, which I guess was what had to be done at the time. this is the kind of stuff that newbie mappers actually DON'T do nowadays, you can probably play someone's first map in this day and age and it would look better than all of the maps in here combined.

 

i'm not gonna increase my star ranking at all, but I will give credit where it is due, as cyb actually had a few ideas going. they just weren't implemented well. a rocket-jumping map? okay. maps that take after IWAD levels but smaller in scale with new areas? cute but not great. an arch-vile ghost monster combination? sure (unfortunately this is supposed to be repeated in MAP29, but it's not hardcoded for the particular map in question and that map also is bugged to be unbeatable because of certain stairs). also a map where you do nothing but kill Commander Keens in a scavenger hunt. while these ideas are nice, not one of them is done pretty well and the wad doesn't improve much.

Well, whaddaya know. It's very crude and simplistic and even for 1998 the design is shoddy; but it's actually quite fun to play, especially if you just set out to run through the levels as fast as possible. It's like a punk megawad, then; technically very poor but fun.

Small nicely detailed maps with few paths to go so its easy going some good eye candy here as well. At the end it gets little complicated. The monster count is decent on all maps.

I played the whole wad in a few hours, and I really liked it because the levels were not to long! Great Job!! I bet you could do better on other wads though! 8/10 (4/5)

I know that most people hate this Wad, but I actually find it to be ok. Nothing really special, but not as bad as what most people are flinging around.

      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.
