Reviews for The Dark Parish

Pros:
Dark, obviously A little more stingy with supplies than the real Parish.
Cons:
Barely noticed any of the smaller changes- it's 99% the same.
Conclusion:
It's the same Parish, but dark. Good reskin, though. I personally won't keep it, cause I don't care about time of day that much, but if you absolutely love night maps and hate day maps, then this is the reskin for you.

Here's another one. So it's dark. It will also be pretty hard if you couldn't see the charger or the jockey or even the smoker coming.

Pros:
-Night Time
Cons:
-Just a night time reskin
Conclusion:
Honestly, i get night-time levels, but then after i play them, i get rid of them instantly, i wouldn't really reccomend this. I like that idea of that dynamic path you're working on

Pros:
Dark Environment Disadvantages making the campaign of this map more challenging. Better weapon spawns
Cons:
Loading Screen is the same as the original Some maps were too similar to the original Not many changes Not much supplies for survival
Conclusion:
Overall, the map was a great idea. I also liked how you made the witch sit down like she does at night time. Although, the map did get very boring around chapter 3 as it was too close to the original. It would have been better if you put more creativity into some different changes. I wish to see more creativity from you in the future. Good Luck!

Pros:
+ Night. + Brightly lit interiors, contrasts nicely with the dark atmosphere outside. + Different paths.
Cons:
- NOT ENOUGH SUPPLIES. Everything (consumables, throwables, weapons) is scarce everywhere (normal path, out of the way, in saferooms). No melee weapon at the start of map 1, either. - Map 4 could use some hints as to where to go once upstairs in the bar. - Apart from map 4, it's way too similar to the original.
Conclusion:
Decent campaign, but it needs more changes and more supplies.

Pros:
Everything, it is just better than original - more climatic, harder, but with balanced difficulty, with better weapon spawns (I mean in The Parish players are spammed with weapons)... It would be too long to list everything
Cons:
Flying jets at night look at least weird Still no ammo pile just before bridge Deleting almost all items from last saferoom is also bad idea - it would be better to swap 4 medkits to e.g. one or two defibrillators and temporary healing items, saving one or two throwables would also do the trick (I had problems with finding any in 3rd and 4th map)
Conclusion:
"Nice job."

Pros:
• A nice and fitting idea for an campaign edit. (+5.0) • New objects and small areas. (+2.5) • A new waypoint on map 4. (+2.5)
Cons:
• original loading poster from the parish (-0 , Doesn't breaks down environment and gameplay)
Conclusion:
This is a very interesting campaign edit. Would recommend to everyone who likes playing the original parish. The cons and pros are based on what's edited and not on what's from the original parish.

Pros:
looks better at night made fires and lights stand out nice sky some added areas here and there the new path in lvl 4 was cool foggy graveyard includes survival and scavenge maps
Cons:
nothing really. i think it would be cool if you tried adding more complete changes like in map 4. you seem to know what youre doing
Conclusion:
it's basically the parish, but better. it's more fun to play at night, and i feel like i can keep this campaign for a while, play this instead of the parish. i just wish more people could play this so versus games would be common

Pros:
A great remix of a original level. Dark Parish is creepy, Great choice in music (The Passing), Path change was a nice addition, Everything is just so creepy, what a great idea!
Cons:
I met one tank before the bridge - just before the bridge saferoom.
Conclusion:
Why, I fell in love with this campaign after starting it up - everything was remastered into the eerie darkness of infected New Orleans, instead of the hot lazy afternoon from the original campaign. If you're reading this, I need to ask why you're not downloading the campaign instead.

MaddaC****101Posted this review
Pros:
Creepy environment Excellent use of soundscapes Perfect lighting Explosions look good at night The cemetery is especially creepy Fires look amazing Good blend of lighting - neither too dark or too bright. Path system adds a little variety Added Survivor Dialogue
Cons:
Dynamic Path system is a bit flawed - you can tell the difference between valve work and Acermors' work Infected have a bit too much of an edge with the roofs in versus Grace period from alarm event has been removed, amping up the difficulty and giving bots more trouble General lack of zombies in bits of maps 3-5 Not too much has been changed. Many instances in which Survivor lines were overlapped by other survivor lines.
Conclusion:
A good re-release of an already good campaign. The lighting steals the spotlight here, almost managing to hide the questionable design choices. There's really no new content here besides about 30 seconds of extra paths, so this campaign seems to be a showcase of "been there, done that" but with upgraded lighting. 7.5/10

Pros:
- Parish at night - Few interesting map changes - Great bot navigation - Fewer items = greater challenge
Cons:
- None
Conclusion:
A great alternative if you're getting bored of the original campaign. The night atmosphere makes it really creepy but also a little harder. The graveyard scene and the bombings look even better at night. The item placement is good; harder than the original but not too unbalanced. Dziggy's fixed bots could navigate through this campaign very well and the few alternate routes invite for an even better experience.

Undead HunterPosted this review
Pros:
I liked the original Parish - and like this one just as much. Well done night effects. Slight variation on paths and supplies. Right level of challenge.
Cons:
Perhaps removed too many of the supplies from the original? - but overall very comparable. Not really many cons to think of ... aside from fewer weapon and supply options.
Conclusion:
If you like the original Parish, plus the night time effects, certainly you should like this map. The original Parish could be "over-supplied" with health kits and weapon options - here some of those are removed. But overall supplies are plentiful enough to make the game slight more challenging than the original. Well done.

BrandsmartPosted this review
Pros:
+Dynamic pathing all throughout the campaign +Creepy, horror atmosphere +At the car alarm park on map 3, all of the alarms flashing had a mesmerizing affect. +Explosions on the end map and map 3 look even better against the night skyline. +AI nav is perfect. +Limited amount of guns and supplies. +Added car alarm on map 1. +Actually had to use my flashlight. +Added survivor dialogue. +Graveyard looked AMAZING with the fog.
Cons:
-When dialogue lines are triggered, they can sometimes interrupt or overlap others lines... -Sometimes, areas are a little too dark.
Conclusion:
A fantastic campaign! It feels like Valve actually developed it! Kudos to you Acermors! :3

Pros:
+ Great atmosphere + Better challenge + New paths are fun to explore + Finale had superb silhouetting.
Cons:
- On occasion areas will be too dark (minor issue) - Tier two weapons only spawned after level 3 (possible Director issue)
Conclusion:
One of the biggest problems with any map, be it official or custom, is immersion. The competent level design of the Valve employees combined with the creepy feel of New Orleans at night makes for a great experience. Combined with realism mods such as lowered ammo and increased damage, this makes for a fun hour long play through on Advanced. Highly recommended!

End of results.
