Witchaven is a BUILD (Duke 3D) engine game created to capture some of the market cornered by Heretic and Hexen. Unfortunately, it is only a pretender to that throne, and struck me as one of the worst FPS format titles I've ever played - that is no mean feat! Specific gripes: clay models for sprites are too silly for the setting; GUI elements are random and not especially functional; level design is very basic and environmental damage isn't obvious (the lava cracks in the first room damage you without looking dangerous: prototypically awful level design); your character slides about; and...
...my first weapon broke after only 10 hits. So much for the fantasy setting. I'll take Shadowcaster over this any day.

I bet the MIDI music would be interesting if I played this on my SoundBlaster 16, though. Unfortunately, I haven't found any extro movie; but never fear - Witchaven II has THREE endings for your enjoyment! Hooray!

I'll go out on a limb to say - even without having played all the way through the game or even suffered to the end of the first level - this is unquestionably the highlight of the game.

Video information: RAD Game Tools to the rescue! XviD encoding actually shaved 5MB off the file size without damaging the video quality or even needing to apply a noise filter.

  • Intro (especially the music) was the only interesting thing that this game could offer. I just can't believe how suprisingly disturbing this game was. Oh wait, there was also a really nice picture of some knight on the box.

  • i loved this game man. i hated the grey witches though.

  • Que sensación de nostalgia mas de 15 años sin ver esto......

  • I fucking loved this game as well, simple no story line but I was a kid, and it had everything I thought was bad ass.

  • Este juego me encantaba de pequeño, intente terminarlo, pero no podia. Este juego requiere mucha intuición y saber usar tanto el mapa como las magias y armas. Al principio sobre todo es MUY dificil, pero en cuanto tu personaje sube de nivel todo se facilita. Genial, me encantaba la intro, gracias por subirla!!

  • mike pitts? more this game is the pits loL!
