About This File

Well, it's been quite a journey. Hordes of Chaos is finally done, with 25 maps. HOC X has all 4 previously released HOCs, plus the all new HOC 5.

HOC has been changed to HOC Death Edition. It's got 2x the monsters and alot less health. Good luck playing this one! :P

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 :

E1,E2 All Maps Dark Heretic

E3M1 Monster Mash Vermil's Maps E3M4 E3M2 Painville ZUUL E3M3 Hidden Temple Vermil's Maps E3M7 E3M4 The Four Rooms Black Fortress X E3M5 D'Sparil's Sauna Dark Heretic E1M4

E4M1 Painkiller Vermil's Maps E3M5 E4M2 Tomb Of Naughtyness Crimson Tomb E4M3 The Black Bog Vermil's Maps E3M6 E4M4 Crypt Of Crispy Critters VOL R2 E4M5 D'Sparil's Tower Tower of Pain

E5M1 Hell's Belly Button Trails of D. MAP02 E5M2 Emerald Passage The Lost Gate E5M3 Fortress Of Fortitude Steeple Chase V1.3 E5M4 Catastrohpic Finale Vermil's Maps E1M9 E5M5 Obligatory Secret Map Vermil's Maps E1M1

Slaughtermaps in the style of f.e. Plutonia, thus only for players considering hard gameplay = attractive gameplay. If you like to enter an empty area, then via instant monster popups being faced by a horde of monsters of the same kind, and repeat that about 1500 times, then this is your mapset. Definitely. But if you like gameplay with a tiny little bit of variation, then skip this, because it's repetitive like being made for (obviously nofi) autistics. As this is IMPO a total WOT: 2* for the effort only.

As hard as they tell you in the reviews. Level design remains nice and the introduction of DOOM monsters is a nice touch, but difficulty is really unfair. Would have worked better with a couple custom overkill weapons added to the default roster. 3*

Best mappack I've ever seen for Heretic. It is like a Hell Revelead for Heretic, but with much, much more! Anyone who loves both Heretic and Doom will love this. Oh, and the idiot who said Heretic doesn't deserve this, I'll tell you something: saying something is not worthy anything well-made is an insult to the author and the fans. This wad do not deserve a zero, it is you who deserves it. Next time think before typing, if you actually have a (functional) brain, of course.

Fantasmic. Almost like 'Hell Revealed' for Heretic. A legend. Wilou84

Too hard, and the Doom & Hexen monsters don't look good in Heretic, neither does this whole Hell Revealed-style. Sorry. 2/5 because the levels are nice but that's all. Play Heretic: Treasure Chest or GULAG instead.

Pure awesome insanity! This is Doom, Heretic and Hexen rolled into one terrific game. Levels are outstanding and well-made. The only downside is that it's a bit too hard even on Skill 2, but for those who are good at Doom/Heretic and have mastered the skill for very hard WADs like Plutonia, AV and Hell Revealed, this is a must play. 5*/5

Amazing mappack, it's truly HR-Style adapted to Heretic. As I already reviewed the 4 previous episodes, I'll talk about the 5th one, clearly the hardest one, I gave up in skill4, even by saving/loading all the time. The secret level trick for the ring of invincibility is awesome (don't use it too early heh). But E5M1 looked somewhat 'plain' compared to all other maps. 5/5 with a "Legendary" stamp of course. ~Naan

      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.
