THE COMPLETE “KARNAK” SERIES
Requires GZDoom
Karnak is a gameplay mod that changes Heretic, Hexen, and Hexen: Deathkings into a sci-fi and sorcery epic. You play Maa’hes, rightful king of the lion-headed centauroids known as the Leonids, the dominant species on planet Karnak.
KARNAK – For Heretic. The Beast King Marduk has come from a galaxy far, far away to conquer Karnak and the rest of the Khepri System. Using a combination of guns, magic, and brute strength, Maa’hes slays his way through 5 episodes to save Karnak and rid the cosmos of Marduk’s taint forever.
KARNAK 2 – For Hexen. After a lengthy inter-dimensional campaign, Maa’hes finally returns to his homeworld, only to find it on the brink of holocaust: a creature known as the Defiler is posing as the god of the Crimson Order, pushing the red-robed cultists to amass an unstoppable legion. Play as Maa’hes, Gilgamesh, or Ren and stop the Defiler’s followers.
KARNAK: SCOURGE OF ABYDOS – For Hexen: Deathkings. Maa’hes returns to Memphis to reclaim his birthright…and is promptly thrown in a cell for impersonating a monarch. His only chance to fulfill his destiny as ruler of Karnak is to stop the Dark Lord Nergal, dictator of Abydos, from poisoning the river and subjugating the leonid people.
The download file also includes patches for the Heretic megawad “Masters of Chaos”, and the Hexen wad “Vicerus”, so the items/monsters and music work properly.
Minor complaint about the firing animation for Gilgamesh, it’s just the death animation for the Chaingunner. Otherwise, top work.
He should be firing, not dying. Dunno what happened there.
*shrug* Something probably got messed up somewhere. In any case it’s a minor quibble, I don’t play in chasecam all that much anyway.
I think the mod may be a bit broken, heretic enemies and weapons are showing up, which is a shame because reading the PDF made me love this story and got me kinda hyped to play
it works fine for me.
I compared it to some YouTube footage and apparently it is working, I feel downright stupid right now, sorry for wasting your time, as far as my opinion on it I love it, the weapons are all great, my only complaints are the machete isn’t made for widescreen, and the tripod auto-cannon sprite is just not the best and I find it hard to aim with it, the only other issues are issues I have with Heretic which your mod made heretic actually kind of fun so congrats man! another winner of a mod, I couldn’t complete any of the campaigns though that’s more so the fact I dislike heretic, the levels are a little too confusing for me. Anyway love your work, this is a solid entry into your doom engine resume!
