Hordes of Chaos III

About This File

5 more Heretic maps stuffed full of monsters.

These maps are meant to be a challenge on Skill 4. If you play on Skill 4 and die miserably, don't be surprised. And don't complain, either. Play it on Skill 3! :P

After each map your weapons and ammo are taken. You get to keep your items. This is intentional.

Each map was taken from another project and worked on considerably. Here's where each map originally came from :

E1M1 Monster Mash Vermil's Maps E3M4 E1M2 Painville ZUUL MAP01 E1M3 Hidden Temple Vermil's Maps E3M7 E1M4 The Four Rooms Black Fortress X MAP01 E1M5 D'Sparil's Sauna Dark Heretic E1M4

If anyone catches me trying to make HOC IV, kindly drag me into a dark alley and beat some sense into me :P

Clearly better than HoC I and II. No more time limit levels that are getting bigger and bigger with more and more monsters (I love that), and, new high point, the ammo/weapons quantity is now tigh, that increases the challenge level. Interesting idea for the the ending too (plus the new boss and the dark servant item coming from Hexen). Legendary wad, along with Gulag, even if it's another kind of gameplay. 5/5. ~Naan

Best Heretic wad I played. Doom and Hexen monsters fit well in Heretic.

I certainly enjoyed this. A map like this for Heretic is rare. Everyone does doom. Its nice to so something like this for the other games. The action is non stop and the layout is good and tasteful and not to mention the scripting. The doom monsters fit right in. 5/5

This is the one that realizes the potential of the HOC series. Looks great, and it's mind-bogglingly violent (which is good, if you can stomach it). And no more time-limits = Cool. The final battle DOES use a timer, BUT....well, I won't spoil it. The tradition of painfully stupid endings continues, but the WAD is so enjoyable that I no longer care. I did find this to be very difficult in places (skill 4), but that's NOT a complaint. Besides...I'm a Doomer, not a Heretic. --TDotW

      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.
