 NerfHack is the followup to Hack'EM and starts fresh from NetHack 3.7.0.
-NerfHack is intended to be a much more difficult variant than Vanilla NetHack. By pulling changes from other forks and fine-tuning various exploitable aspects of the game, it has uncovered many pain-points to smooth out the difficulty curve. The general idea has been to nerf strategies commonly employed by seasoned players with the goal of making the game more interesting. It's not all nerfs though, many small buffs and mechanics have been added to even the playing field and make the game more interesting. It can be played on the [[Public server|Hardfought]] server.

By pulling changes from other forks and fine-tuning various exploitable aspects of the game, it has uncovered many pain-points to smooth out the difficulty curve. The general idea has been to nerf strategies commonly employed by seasoned players with the goal of making the game more interesting; pet theft and price identification are removed outright. It's not all nerfs though, many small buffs and mechanics have been added to even the playing field and make the game more interesting.
