Hordes of Chaos X is a five-episode megawad for Heretic, created by Christopher Emirzian (Udderdude) and Martin Eyre (Vermil), and released in January 2005, consisting of four episodes of Hordes of Chaos I-IV (all previously released standalone throughout 2004) and a new additional fifth final episode. The PWAD is notable for featuring slaughter-type gameplay with a heavy emphasis on efficient usage of Heretic's item pickups, often having the player chain the effect of the Tome of Power to have sufficient firepower against numerous groups of enemies while using tomed-up Gauntlets of the Necromancer as the primary way of regaining health.
Many of the maps were built upon older layouts by Udderdude and Vermil, mostly from unreleased maps but also from some already existing projects. A guest contribution was also provided by Nick Laurent (hobomaster22). A sequel for Hexen, Ressurection of Chaos, was released later that year.
