About This File

HACX is an action filled DOOM Engine game. The story is set in the near future, where you'll find yourself engrossed in an international blastfest. Wield weapons of mass destruction from China to Paris to combat a devilish artificial intelligence and its hordes of loyal fanatics. Can you handle it, hacker?

This release is a stand-alone IWAD that does not require DOOM II to run, and is compatible with many popular ports. Release also includes several minor map fixes since v1.1 (making levels fully co-op compatible) and other miscellaneous tweaks.

HACX.WAD can be run either as an IWAD with ZDoom and Eternity or as a PWAD alongside DOOM II using other ports like Chocolate Doom and PRBoom.

Thumbs up all the way! I really like the weapons, but not the amount of ammo that you have. It would be nice if you made a HACX Weapons WAD. But for right now, 5/5 for you.

Basically, this is a Zdoom version. Use Hacx 1.1 with anything else. Why delete the REJECT lumps? Why rename all the MUSIC lumps and then rely on dehacked to match them up? Not every port supports that, and it means there is an error if you warp to a non-Hacx level. I could go on, because there are other things too (e.g. maxhealth), but you get the picture. The whole idea of an "iwad version" is a cheap trick. You just need to rip a few lumps from the Doom2 iwad & slap them in. Legitimate? Not really.

Awesome mod! And this version can even be used directly as an IWAD with Chocolate Doom. Doesn't get any better than this. 5/5

There are balance issues, and there are vast areas without health then lots with loads of health. From a gameplay perspective it isn't fantastic.

For 1997, it's a decent TC, but still, it wasn't that great. I can forgive the switchhunts etc., but what really got me was the graphics quality; sprites, textures etc. just weren't suited for a 256 color palette, and it showed. This is something that's true for many older TCs, of course, but DOOM itself got it right. Play so you can say "I played it", but beyond that, there's (much) better material out there now.

This is a great game, haven't finished it yet, but it has some very meaty maps and satisfying guns. Plus it is historically important, it was a commercially released game after all.

      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.
