@@okdan2185 This was on the same level as doom and wolfenstein just not a gun game but just as good! This game wasn't as big as hexen but is the beginning of the story of hexen!
Ahhh, Heretic!!!! I played it when I was a child in 90's. Veeeery scary (I remember the last boss even today, like I have played it yesterday). I love the Ethereal Crossbow and the Phoenix Rod (one shot = one kill). The Mace empowered mode was awesome, too (guided explosive iron bombs!!!!). Best game in its time in my opinion, better than Doom. Nice revival.
The final boss is D’Sparil, the first of the serpent riders according to the trilogy lore. You can meet him only once at the end of the game, he’s riding a monster serpent in the beginning of the battle
So many great memories of playing this game on my first PC my parents got for me. I was so afraid of those characters, yet I played this game during night time and somehow finished it after many months
You should take a look at something called Amid Evil. Supposedly it's like Heretic, though it isn't quite released yet. I came here to see what Heretic is like since I've never seen it or played it.
@@aupenn9728 reporting from 2020, Amid Evil is fully released and a prequel expansion was just confirmed. It is absolutely godly, one of the best, if not the best FPS game I've ever played. The only reason I hesitate to call it better than Doom or Quake is purely because of how iconic they are; objectively I think it improves and has perfected every single aspect of game design that make these types of games so memorable. Seriously, it's that good.
it was so...different compared to the other fps titles of the time. I could not fully appreciate it back than, now i am simply glad i had an opportunity.
Wow, this is a big nostalgia for me. This game came with our first Pc, i remember me and my brother playing it and was quite afraid of some parts, rofl. We were just talking about it right now, finding this video made my night 🤩
I regret now how I used to play games like this all the time back in the 90s assuming that things would continue to stay this amazing and never considering that things would get worse. Because they did. I would honestly do anything to go back. But I can't.
I played this game while I was a kid, A D0D The undead warriors scared the shit outta of me With their ghosty whispers, and their red axes that could kill me in 2 shots Any kid would crap their pants when he see a tall dark knight throwing green/red axes to ya.
old memories. 18 years ago that I not play this game. but in those days was one of my favorites, also doom I and II, descent, using my old 80-386 printaform pc. thanks for upload the video. regards
I used to make my own maps for this, eventually making one great map set in a huge valley, with a haunted house, cathedral and Spanish Galleon and loads of traps. You'd start in the cathedral defending from a huge army of creatures and setting the traps off to help yourself out. Great days. Apparently Phil Spencer (CEO of Microsoft games) really wants someone within Xbox Game Studios to make a new Hexen game. Personally I got bored of all the puzzles slowing down the Hexen gameplay, much preferred Heretic (and then Unreal - the first campaign heavy one before it became 'tournament' - Duke Nukem 3d, Daikatana, Blood, there were so many...
In never been capable of playing those games as a kid. The ambientation, NPCs and overall everything was terrifying and scaring af to me. Same with doom.
Someone gave me a beta/demo copy of this game in the early 90s, before it hit the shelves. I went over to a friend's place to install it. He was privileged with a 486 CPU and a whopping 4 megs of ram. We were blown away by this game.
This game was based upon the Doom / Wolfenstein platform and was a real 🏆 winner in my view.... Loved to play this back in the day on my old Acer computer with that big old monitor 😂✅🤎
Heretic and Hexen came out about the same time, were very similar games, and more or less a similar setting. I never could tell the two apart. One of the two had a giant bell in an open are near the start of the game which you had to ring. To this day, I hve no idea what it did.
I used to play this on my dad's old japanese laptop the most memorable part is the sound IT DONT EXIST! but even if this game has no sound, its still fun as ever.
My friends and I loved and played the shareware version basically on repeat. I don't think it had any sound, for some reason, which made it so eerie and cool. Great atmosphere, playing it on spooky, overcast days in our old study.
I remember playing this game on our old win95 pc. it didn't even had a sound card so I never got to experience audio with that game and during that time, I didn't even care lol, loved this game
I miss these games. These mappers were gods, pure creativity. Now they just make a pretty place that you walk through without a thought. Multiplayer maps are still pretty good, but most single player maps focusing on visuals over gameplay is _heresy_ I say
Doesn't matter as the WAD file basically contains the whole game, you just need to tell Doomsday where it is. Under the settings tab of your game profile there is a line called "Game data file" just press the "..." and search the WAD file. Hope that helps :)
Riddle me this…I turned 21 while living in Ca (March 1994). However, before living there, I lived in Richmond, Va where I used to play this game on a roommates computer… The release date on Wiki says Dec 1994… Hmmmm…. Did I time travel somehow?
Este juego si que me apasionaba y jugaba hasta la medianoche en el trabajo, después de mi jornada, incluso cuando no tenía algún trabajo urgente la jornada entera lo jugaba y al dormir en la oficina, pues ya era tarde para irme a mi casa, al cerrar los ojos veía cómo pasaba por los pasillos, estando en absoluta oscuridad.
You need the original game files or atleast the .wad file so doomsday can read the data. Then you can start the game through doomsday engine with any updated gfx you might choose.
@@NostalgicGames I play in steam platfrom and unfortunately cant obtain/find/download the original files. Could you help and send me please? korayermanucgun@gmail.com
@@korayerman4275 On the doomsday engine site you can find a manual on how to set it all up. The steam version also uses the original .wad files so it should not be a problem.
So this game or Skyrim? Both are 49$ at the moment and I can't make up my mind. Skyrim seems to have more dungeons, but the visuals and the shooting seem way better in Heretic, although I'm not sure if it will run well on my GTX 970...

I can't believe this game didn't get as big as doom or Wolfenstein! This was a great game!
I think that is because doom and wolfenstein already excisted
@@okdan2185 This was on the same level as doom and wolfenstein just not a gun game but just as good! This game wasn't as big as hexen but is the beginning of the story of hexen!
@@digitalworms a modified copy can not be as good as original. here is your answer
This game deserves a remake
@@dominick951 it definitely does! Same as hexen! If not a remake then a reboot!
This game was way too scary for me, always had my parents sitting next to me while playing 😂
Same here, so I only watched my older brother play :D
Me too😁😁😁I was 6 when I was playing this game
same,watched my father play at night
@@Matteo-vt3bu same didnt TOUCH teh computer for
same with me hahahaha

I still dream with that map. But I can remember the design and the design of the boss
Francisco Duarte is that the metal skull floating in water the boss ?
Are there multiple difficulties for the final boss?? Can you battle two of the same bosses in one battle?
The final boss is D’Sparil, the first of the serpent riders according to the trilogy lore. You can meet him only once at the end of the game, he’s riding a monster serpent in the beginning of the battle

I've been looking for this game for YEARS. I loved it when I was little! So awesome
I'm the youngest of 3 boys and I totally remember never getting a turn on doom or heretic lol
Now you can play as much as you like.
The chant that Disciple of D'Sparils would do would give me chills like no other game has ever given me to date.
Another game from my childhood that I sucked at and was scared by but so many memories
Finally, I found what this game was called! I always thought it was Doom or Quake that I played, but they didn't look like this. What a throw back!
I miss Hexen and Heretic, there's just something about the setting and music I can't get enough of
You should take a look at something called Amid Evil. Supposedly it's like Heretic, though it isn't quite released yet. I came here to see what Heretic is like since I've never seen it or played it.
i also loved ''Blood'' along with these two

Ah the gauntlets. Even as a kid i figured out it was a reskinned chainsaw
This looks like so much fun, would love to play these games again

Oh the memories. I spent quite a long time doing not a lot before I realised the space bar opened new areas.
We used to play this game in school in 1995 or 1996, I believe on like a Dell 486, It was so fun to play
I played this game while I was a kid, A D0D
The undead warriors scared the shit outta of me
With their ghosty whispers, and their red axes that could kill me in 2 shots
Any kid would crap their pants when he see a tall dark knight throwing green/red axes to ya.
Martin Marzano Exactly the same for me! I waz 9 and it waz sooo scawy
Man, this game was such a big deal to me when it was released. So much nostalgia.
Finally! After how many years thinking what that game was. I finally saw it. One of my life's mysteries getting answered.
So many games back in the 1990s that barely get discussed anymore.
I cant believe my mom used to play this lmao
Dude your mom sounds cool give her my number

+Julio Dominguez 18 Years!! I just realized it was 18 years!! Damn man... Time goes fast!!
This takes me back. What a cool game that is!

Nannou Lala do you like it better than DOOM?
@@Mac1Camp she don't have time to reply, she's pregnant now
@@PROSTO4Tabal yeah bro i knocked her up
good replys.
@@nrlty1253 Beware, she must gotten bewitched! 👍
Of all the shooters this game has the best sounds and graphics! and also an awsome athmosphere! I still play it now and then.
Wasn't this game packed with doom two? I remember playing it off the doom two cd I think
Wow, my buddy and I weren't huge PC gamers or anything, but this particular game was really fun.
I never knew its name till now, "Heretic" Thanks!
I loved the difficulty levels, lol. I say "Bringest them oneth" to people all the time
I have played this game since 1996, so much memories!
i still remember playing this on a demo disc from the magazines along with games like doom and so on.
Those sweet good old days from my childhood! This was a masterpiece game!
Very nice game. This is so long ago. I will take this strongly into account when thinking about new projects for my channel in the near future.
One of the very finest games from the 1990's. We first played it on a 14" CRT
Hah, I wondered what the name of this game was, this was all the rave when I was in High school!! Use to love this game!!
I still have nightmares about some of the bosses years after playing this, but damn it does feel nostalgic to see the playthrough

I get the feeling that this is basically what Quake would've been had they commited to the fantasy/rpg theme
hell, brings back old memories, this game freaked me out

@Martin Marzano, this game was scary to me as well. I couldn't even play it. The Golems scared me the most.
This was one awesome game! ❤️ Trip down memory lane...
I used to play this on my dad's old japanese laptop the most memorable part is the sound IT DONT EXIST! but even if this game has no sound, its still fun as ever.
I used to play this 1v1 over landline phone with friends, this and Doom. Memories.....
best game of my childhood.
I would psych myself up to play this in 5 minute bursts when I was young and it absolutely terrified me, looks so tame now...
Looks awesome. I never played it as kid. I mostly played doom, duke nukem and wolfenstein 3d

By far 10x better than Doom..this game and Hexen were both fantastic games.
BS
Doom -- best sci fi game, Heretic -- best fantasy game.
I miss these games. These mappers were gods, pure creativity. Now they just make a pretty place that you walk through without a thought. Multiplayer maps are still pretty good, but most single player maps focusing on visuals over gameplay is _heresy_ I say
I loved the gloomy sky in Heretic 🌫
one of my First games ...... Good old Time .
My childhood 😍
that great childhood memories back in 1997
What a memories! thank you for sharing , Bless u bro
Easily one the best Doom clones of its time.
labtob not a clone if it’s same creators
Played this as a child. It was great!
id heard this game was a Doom clone.....but jesus Romero practically used the find and replace tool on literally everything XD
The bes fking game bro, i played this 20 years ago, too much time passing all the levels. So fucking nostalgic
Watching this brings back memories
Games like Hexen, Heretic and Duke3d were basically Doom on steroids
Doesn't matter as the WAD file basically contains the whole game, you just need to tell Doomsday where it is.
Under the settings tab of your game profile there is a line called "Game data file" just press the "..." and search the WAD file.
Hope that helps :)
Is that the game where the character rises from the grave in the opening scene? Help searching for that game
Nvm found it . its called Blood. I played Blood and I was thinking it was this game ...
Heretic inspired Hexen
I absolutely LOVED this game.
I want it in the PS Store.
Watching in 2021
Played it in 2004 in my Pentium 2 PC
Lovely to recall old memories
This franchise needs a reboot.
If Activision sells the rights to ZeniMax Media, we might get that reboot.
I remember me and my sister used to play this, and we would have a feeling of wanting to throw up after some period of time playing it lol
Riddle me this…I turned 21 while living in Ca (March 1994). However, before living there, I lived in Richmond, Va where I used to play this game on a roommates computer…

Hmmmm….
Did I time travel somehow?

God how I loved this game... I was better at Heretic than Hexen tho. This was more understandable and clear for me when I was 4-5 y/o.
Heretic was my best childhood game
Really wish they'd port these games onto the current gen consoles.
Brings back memories of 10th grade.
I played this game in pc 20 years ago, it was a great game.
i liked your channel and videos man (y) i remembered some games from my childhood .)
I remember playing this with my sister when I was like 8-10 years old, and she was moving, and I was clicking to shoot.
cool video! good old times
Uno de los primeros juegos desde niño en pc lindo recuerdos
Fuck, this is my childhood right here.
sounds like you missed out on a lot of normal childhood stuff then
Wish we had the Doomsday engine back in the day!
Very smooth movements and yellow shining of the weapon on monsters when shooted is nice. Which version? Seems like updated one.
It's the Doomsday engine port, you can find it here: dengine.net/
@@NostalgicGames Is it a kind of program or nice version of heretic game?

So this is where that crossbow from dusk came from
God i just searched for it after almost 22 years
I really wish theyd make more of these like they did with DOOM
When I was a kid I thought it's hand which holds something yellow that shoots....also the begining photo scared the shit out of me...8 years old maybe
Good old Days.
I love the old school games for the PC.
I want more Heretic
Damn, that was great
So this game or Skyrim? Both are 49$ at the moment and I can't make up my mind. Skyrim seems to have more dungeons, but the visuals and the shooting seem way better in Heretic, although I'm not sure if it will run well on my GTX 970...
Where to download
You can download the WAD from Archive.net and play it using Crispy Heretic or GZdoom
I wonder what the original music for the game was written on? (translated from google)
I played this and my wife also, really enjoyable game
kitty, rambo, quicken, massacre🤩
Lmao 5 yo me was like pew pew and not understanding shit
Are there multiple difficulties for the final boss?? Can you battle two of the same bosses in one battle?
