Hafoc Tor
A downloadable ZX Spectrum game
Hafoc Tor is a first-person role-playing adventure game for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and is the sequel to Wycheweald. It's a whole new campaign with an improved engine, new combat options and a more open world with non-linear objectives.
It's designed to run on 48K and 128K machines, with the detected 48K mode having less graphics and no music.
Features
- Scrolling textured 3D world and sprites
- Animated turn-based combat
- Auto-map and mini-map
Quick-controls
The game is completely controlled via keyboard and the keys cannot be redefined.
There are alternatives to using WASD for directional movement: the cursor keys are a great option on the ZX Spectrum Next (and they are also usuable via the Cursor joystick interface) as they were for Wycheweald. The J and K keys are now also available as alternative left/right keys for two handed control.
You can hold down the movement keys to keep moving in the same direction.
Action | Key | Alt Key | Alt Alt Key |
---|---|---|---|
Forward | W | Cursor Up | |
Left | A | J | Cursor Left |
Right | D | K | Cursor Right |
Back | S | Cursor Down | |

Character stats are viewed by pressing the numeric key of their position (1-4) when not in combat. From here you can swap weapons and unlock abilities in the skills menu.
All menus are controlled using numeric keys (0-9).
Combat is menu driven.
Over-clocking
If you are using a ZX Spectrum Next or similar that can run software over-clocked you can adjust the BEEPer sound effect speed to match the CPU speed.
Over-clocking can compensate for setting the movement rendering speed to a finer level (to render more frames during movement) without too much slow-down, though you may want to adjust the text speed to be slower so you can keep up with combat.
Some emulators have a speed multiplier option which is not exactly the same as over-clocking: this also multiplies the v-blank rate which will cause music and some animations to run too fast.
Read the fine manual
There is a manual included with the game in PDF and text format.
This is one of those games where reading the manual is important to understand how to play.
