Hexen is great. Heretic is great. Hexen II is great. The only one I didn't like very much was Heretic 2, and that's only because of the third-person stuff.
And btw (in response to an earlier comment) I beat Hexen II without cheats. I also beat the original Hexen without cheats. Heretic is actually much more difficult, in my opinion. (I never beat it without unfair advantages.)
one thing I love about Heretics and Hexens is that they all have depressing ending. You slay thousands of creatures and always end up being cursed, or facing even more horrible oponnents. After Heretic I thought DSparil was a tough guy. After Hexen I thought even the heresiarch was tougher, let alone Korax himself. Hexen was difficult as hell. And man I never got the nerves to get to Eidolon but Ive heard hes impossible to beat cheats-free.
I remember growing up and my dad bringing me this game when I was playing Doom. I popped it in and was hooked. To this day, I still say that Heretic and Doom were the best PC FPS's ever.
great job man. I see what I did wrong...I would try to engage and kill each monster before moving on. You just skip by them all and then kill them all later when u got a better weapon
@DeathMetal384 doom's older :p this is the doom engine with different monsters and weapons and a few features like looking up and down and flying were added
this game was fun for deathmatches as well! used to play both this and doom with my friends via dialup.... and then eventually heat.net had a server for it.
@TrippyScarecrow liscencesd by Id and oversaw by Carmack and Romero, they didn't actually work on it, they would help the guys though when they needed it.
@Nightmare01111111111 Hahahah I though the same until 2 weeks ago....MAn I got the game...and It can be opened in W7 64 bits...I Also have the 64 bit...
i remember that when you used to close the game, there were copyright rules and such and it also wrote that if you would break the rules, they would "send a maulotaur at your door" :))
Hm. I am always hellbent on killing every enemy I come across in FPS's, but I see you like to pick your battles. Maybe I could benefit from doing so as well...
yes, arrow keys for movement, I remember that! , and . for strafe-peeking around the corners! :D I even tried to go on DoomConnector back when I didn't use the mouse, and I was like "how are they turning around so fast?!" so I would pull the run-around-the-corner, turn, and fire-while-running-backwards
I could do that on the hardest difficulty almost totally untouched, strafing rocks and so does skulltag which opens up a few aditional options such as infinite ammo and item respawns, and if you got a computer with MSDOS on it you are so fucking lucky.
Try to remember that back in the time of these games most of us didn't think of using the mouse when playing. We played using only the arrow keys and the action keys (shooting etc). :P
raven software is the genius behind Heretic, and no its not a doom mod, its a full game, one with promise and complete potential and would have been more popular had it been released before doom.
if you want this game check out my new video on how to get it i respond to instant messages so feel free to ask for the game with an email provided and ill give you the full version shadow of the serpent riders playable in vista,windows7, or xp and ill give you the doomsday engine or zdoom emulator to play it
I got this problem too :( dunno how to fix it. I just downloaded Heretic from TPB, it's like 16MB or something and it has shitloads of more options then the original!
@MaxRideWizardLord I always thought Hexen was a great game. Heretic was great too, but it was a fantasy Doom, while Hexen actually was a different game entirely, and it was well done. Hard, but the difficulty is something that makes it good.
the thing that makes doom better than heretic (although gfx are the same) is definitely the music. the music for this level aint bad, but for an endboss i am expecting a more driving sound. doom was great because of all the metal influences :)
Cool level select trick I found, mainly out of curiosity. You can actually put in engage61, engage62, or engage63, and you get warped to that level. 6-1 and 6-2 are winnable, but 6-3 has no exit.

this is like a cheap copy of hexen & doom. The weapons r just like hexen but the level is just like doom I remmember playing this level in doom. So this must be a cheap copy of hexen or doom. Hexen is a great warior game. but this game really sucks.
I know that hexen is actually heretic 2 but it changed its name to hexen to an unknown reason now there is heretic 2 but it is a pure 3d game but it sucks heretic 1 is better. & hexen is better than heretic I have both & comparing them is simply an insult to hexen.
