The original RTNP felt like a rushed, unfinished beta, with the levels sparsely populated and ending abruptly, fortunately, this mod rectifies the problem by enhancing the original maps with more enemies and better gameplay encounters along with including revised and restored beta maps that fit into the main campaign nicely while still retaining the same level of polish in gameplay. This is a worthy makeover of the expansion making it the finished piece it should have been in the first place.

Korax Mod is back and better then ever! The first and classic gameplay mod for Hexen which offers a unique RPG system and excellent additions to make returning to the world of Cronos once more a worthy endeavour! ;)

Great multiplayer mod for Hexen, perhaps the first and only one of its kind, which is designed specifically for bot play! A shame it appears to have been abandoned since the last release in 2009. It could really use balance updates with the classes as their are clearly inferior and superior choices. The melee classes are at a disadvantage, where as ranged classes are far more powerful. The bots intelligence could be improved if possible as they appear to struggle at playing certain game modes correctly specifically CTF. Otherwise this is a classic multiplayer blast reminiscent of Unreal Tournament in style and is great fun regardless =)

Finally the first released Duke3d mod which uses elements from the prototypes to enhance the original game!

I was really surprised this mod not only includes lots of assets from the betas but also rebalances everything to make the game far more challenging. Such as you can't carry as much ammo compared to the vanilla game, and you take a lot more damage than normal.

The beta weapons are really fun to use and are cleverly balanced to fit alongside the original weapons. My favorite is the Plasma Rifle because it is all around effective in most situations and the ammo pickup is quite generous.

The beta enemies pack a punch and will keep you on your toes. The bosses have been greatly buffed and are a real threat now.

I really like how the Battlelord's accuracy has been tweaked so he isn't an aimbot now at all ranges like the original, but can actually miss shots, which is good since everything does more damage.

The score system and extra lives are a great throwback to Duke Nukem 1 and 2 and give the mod an arcade and nostalgic feeling.

This is an amazing homage to Duke3D with the beta content adapted into the original game's campaign for the best experience.

This is an excellent way to revisit and replay the original with an exciting and challenging twist.

I look forward to future updates with Episode 4 and the possibility of a custom campaign.

Well done and thank you for your hard work Marcolino in bringing this to completion!

Especially since I remember you tried to make a beta type mod over a decade ago but lost everything due to a hard drive crash. Thank you for coming back and finishing what you started! Hail to the King!

A fantastic hardcore redux of the original game where you can go nuts with the arsenal and blow hordes of alien dirtbags to smithereens! While offering a strategic and tactical challenge as well! A great way to revisit the original game with a difficult twist!

Finally a great Duke3d mod for Doom! :D
