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.

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.
