DESCRIPTION
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... for instance, you can look up or down, and you can also fly if you aquire certain powerups. You must complete one level to move on to the next and each level may have several "door puzzles" or keys you must find to complete them. Those who have played Doom, or other First Person Shooter games should be familiar with the controls. ~ Robert Trousdale, All Game Guide

“Another classic FPS game made by id Software, and of course Raven Software.
One of the games that I looked for-for so many years, and finally got it a few years back. I always had the damn Shareware version, something I could never get used to. Things have changed however, and I spent a lot of time on this game when I finally got it.
Heretic is a lot like the first DOOM, only the scene is a bit different... more dark, and mystical. It has got a medieval sense about it, but I don't mind, I have always enjoyed the dark medieval games.
i am really surprised that this game has not been recreated by someone. I think that this game would be a lot more scary than DOOM, but maybe this game wasn't as much of a hit. I know that DOOM is a lot bigger, but I would've hoped to see this game rise as well.
Oh well, you can't win them all.”

“I suppose in a way this is "Fantasy Doom", but it is also quite a bit more, including fun to play.”
