Overclocked is a large-scale modpack for Duke Nukem Zero Hour: Recompiled that fundamentally reimagines the game. It turns the original third-person action game into a full first-person shooter that feels close to the classic Duke Nukem 3D experience.

Hand and weapon models have been added, the camera and animations reworked, and aiming behavior improved. Full mouse and keyboard support has been implemented, including sensitivity settings, axis inversion, and weapon switching — all of which make the game significantly more responsive and modern.

Duke Nukem Zero Hour Overclocked consists of numerous individual modules that can be toggled and configured in-game. These include quick actions — melee attacks, grenade throws, and bomb detonations, hotkey item usage, and reworked jump physics in the style of Duke Nukem 3D. Alternative fire modes for weapons have also been added, and the overall feel of combat has been improved.

Visual enhancements include overscan correction, sharper pixels, dynamic lighting, persistent corpses and destruction across levels, and additional blood effects. The interface has also been overhauled: HUD elements can be scaled and repositioned, boss labels have been added, and menu navigation has been improved.

On the technical side, Overclocked leverages recompilation capabilities: the game runs more stably, supports higher resolutions, and gains support for modern rendering technologies. Quick saves, an external save system that stores progress in a separate file, redesigned menus, and a restored Easy difficulty level have all been added.

Additionally, the mod expands the audio design (new Duke voice lines, weapon sounds, and action audio), adds cheat features, improves environmental interactions, and grants greater freedom in level exploration.

This is a comprehensive overhaul that transforms Duke Nukem: Zero Hour into a more dynamic, comfortable, and modern shooter while preserving the spirit of the original and breathing new life into the game.
