Hardfest is a 20-map (21 if including the credits map) community project for Doom II and Boom-compatible source ports. The premise of the project revolves around hard maps of any kind, without specific guidelines on gameplay and aesthetics. Due to those very lax restrictions, this megawad garnered a wide array of various unique and sometimes unorthodox levels.

At first this project was led by gabirupee, who created it, in part, as an homage to the slaughterfest series (Slaughterfest 2011, Slaughterfest 2012 and Slaughterfest 3). He later quit the community, officially leaving the project to be finished by finnks13, ultimately being released on September 25, 2022. The original soundtrack for this PWAD was written in its entirety by LPad and Korp.

A sequel called Hardfest 2 was first released on October 14, 2023.
