Sold by timz About this product Product Information Heretic is a first person shooter in the style of the Doom series also by id Software with a fantasy theme. You play a hero whose job is to remove an evil presence from your homeworld.

The game is split up into three missions each of which has 9 levels with secret levels that can be found. You are provided with a variety of magical weapons and powerups throughout the game. You may also play either Deathmatch or cooperatively with up to three other players over a LAN, one other player over a Null Modem, or Modem.

The game looks and plays very similar to Doom with a few enhancements Heretic brought FPS gaming forward by a huge leap while also bringing in high fantasy elements to a genre which had before been dominated by the modern and the futuristic. While the experiments in FPS design explored in its sequels were less successful particularly the sprawling interconnected levels, moon-logic puzzles, and faux-RPG elements of Hexen II , Heretic changed gaming, and for the better.

If you are a fan of the FPS genre, particularly classics such as Doom and Wolfenstein 3D , and haven't played Heretic, you owe it to yourself to play this masterpiece. Oldmemories 0 point. Anyone has the one that work?

KC 0 point. I liked this game better than Hexen as well. The controls make sense and are easy compared to any of the Hexen games. Heretic lets you focus more on the game and less on the controls.

But I figured , well, let's see what all the hoopla is about.

I downloaded a few of demos, most of which left me cold, but this grabbed me hard! Was playing it again recently, but now getting a fresh copy for this particular machine I'm on. Oh yeah, I graduated to Hexen after this, and Shadow Warrior too.

And now, the Half Life games are among my favorites. Still waiting patiently for HL3!!! Haya 2 points DOS version. Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, and stated that 'If you're only going to get one action game in the next couple of months, this is the one. Following ZeniMax Media's acquisition of id Software, the rights to the series have been disputed between both id and Raven Software; Raven's parent company Activision holds the developing rights, while id holds the publishing rights to the first three games.

Until both companies come to an agreement, neither will be able to make another installment in the series. Further homages to the series have been made in other id Software titles; In 's Wolfenstein , which Raven Software developed, Heretic' s Tomes of Power are collectible power-ups found throughout the game.

The power of the Tome returns you to your homeland, but what you find there is not what you expected. Your medieval land has been ravaged by an evil plague -- your kinsmen are mutating before your very eyes and rising up to attack you. As you struggle to discover what has happened and to save your people from this new evil, the same mysterious disease overcomes you.

Now you must embark on a quest to discover the source of the plague and find a cure before all is lost -- including your own life! Heretic II goes back to the original storyline and to the single main character, rather than the three separate character classes from the Hexen series.

Unlike its predecessor, Heretic II steps away from the traditional first-person view to a behind-the-back third-person perspective, much like the Tomb Raider series.

But Tomb Raider never had it this good -- the rich depth of the world and the stunning array of weaponry take this game a step ahead. Unlike many other first-person games, Heretic II offers expansive architecture that gives you the feel of a complete world.

From seething swamps to dusty old temples, each level is designed to look both real and fantastic. All the creatures in the game are detailed, especially the hero, Corvus. His movements, whether walking, running, creeping along the ground, climbing or swimming, are all smoothly animated.

Most impressive are his combat moves. When using his basic weapon, a long pike, he can perform a variety of special attacks, including a devastating spinning move that can decapitate almost any foe.

He also has an array of magic spells and weapons, ranging from simple fireball spells to the deadly Phoenix Bow. In addition to his offensive array, Corvus boasts several useful defensive spells. My favorite is the meteor shield -- when cast, it creates several shimmering green orbs which orbit you until you get close to an enemy, then the orbs lock on and track even the fastest foes.

Combining your offensive and defensive abilities is the key to success. One of the nicest features is the tutorial that will teach you the basic moves you will need to complete the game, from simple jumping, climbing and swimming to pole vaults and the special attacks of your pike. It's worth playing through for the chance to bash on the whacking chicken alone. One drawback in the game is the inability to control the camera position. While the camera usually positions itself so that you have a mostly unobstructed view, there are times when it will inhibit some of your peripheral vision, making it difficult to detect enemies hiding to either side.

It was also hard to spot objects and clues in some areas -- there was no way to get the camera into a position where you could see clearly. Adding the ability to switch temporarily to a first-person view to scan the area would have helped. The other main problem is that the game is too short.

It didn't take very long to play through all the levels to the ending, and the final story wrap-up didn't really go anywhere.
