Its ok
Lovely game :)
first it is winnable
needs a fix to play with wasd
the moving with the mouse right off the bat really throws me off and i dont like it at all
other than that though seems -wicked- fun
1/10 not playable on modern software
old school FPS. played it when it 1st came out on shareware cd.
older generation game based on the original DOOM engine, Still fun to play once you get past the old style graphics
alright doom clone
Again... As I understand it, this is part 3, I didn't find any story as such here again, well, that's okay. 9 hours for such a shooter is certainly a lot of fun...
Well, there's the last part left, I hope at least that one will make me happy because it's very sad
Amazing game. Basically Doom but for wizards
This is one of my favorites from back in the day. I played Doom when it first came out as shareware. Later there was a lot of Doom-alikes, but this game took it to a whole different level. If you like Doom, you should love this.
Doom but it's Lord of the Rings
Have a Doom-like adventure firing scepters, chains, and other magic weapons. It's a bit more heady than Doom, includes inventory, ammo balance, and enemy strategies. Certainly worth a try if you're into the genre.
i palyed this before windows 95 was out.
Very similar to DOOM, but in dark fantasy style and much harder. Great fun.
Great shooter of its time. The fantasy setting combined with usable items and dynamic intense battles make it a great experience.
Reliving my childhood when I only had the shareware version of the game, late in the 90's, played on a Pentium 75Mhz machine with 16MB of RAM.
If you don't mind the use of the same engine as for Doom, with some enhancements, like the medieval fantasy setting, and weren't born yesterday, I do recommend this classic.
nightdive please remaster these i am way too retarded to be able to play them as they are please hurry
It's easy to write Heretic off as "Fantasy Doom" but that would be selling it short. Sure, it's the same engine, the same fight / key / switch / boss battle game-play wrapped in an ethereal setting but several things set it apart (and sometimes above) its Doom roots.
For one, Heretic is more impressive on a technical level. You have an inventory with ten or so deployable power-ups, such as bombs, invincibility and even flight. Maps often feature ambient noise, and even weather effects such as splashing water and high winds (my favorite level in the game has you working your way up and down a series of violent rapids while fending off baddies.)
Also: this is a *Raven* shooter.
These guys know what they are doing. Albeit an earlier entry in their portfolio, you can always expect an above-average degree of love and inspiration from a Raven shooter. Great level design, great attention to detail. There is a distinct polish in the visuals, architecture and sprite-work.
For instance, certain enemies, when defeated, explode apart and their souls can literally be seen departing. This pleases me. The weapons are of course variations on the Doom arsenal while still managing to perform in new and novel fashions (they have secondary fires, for instance). I cannot, however, get over how goofy the chaingun variant is. Called the "power fist", it's basically a glove that shoots hit-scan mana projectiles and whenever I see it at the bottom of my screen I can't help but think of a big hairy **** firing blue piss. Freud might have had something to say about that.
Heretic is also a much more colorful game than Doom. My favorite episode would have to be the one set underwater. You'll know it when you see it. The texture work is commendable throughout but this set of levels in particular gives the impression of being inside a giant underground aquarium and I'm here for it.
My only gripe would be the general tankiness of the enemies, which can cause levels to drag on and overstay their welcome. The monster count skyrockets between the "normal" and "hard" difficulties meaning you'd be forgiven for only being able to palette one map at a time before taking a break. You know: first world problems.
This is the full package, containing the original three episodes (marked by a final boss that goes through multiple phases, how neat is that) and what I assume are two expansions released later on. The first of these additions is a massive ball-buster, containing a series of agonizingly tense combat puzzles and just all around early proof that these were the guys who had what it took to go on to make such works of art as Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Jedi Outcast and Elite Force.
If you are in the mood for an underrated and often unfairly dismissed old-school shooter with flawless GZDoom compatibility and a decent challenge, wrapped in a nifty gore-soaked dark fantasy aesthetic, you can't go wrong with Heretic.
