The final showdown with the evil master is amazingly tough, so save your game often. There is almost the perfect combination of intensity and inaction. Heretic challenges your brain to figure out each level. The enjoyment level is really high when you are doing well and drops slightly when you get lost in a maze of caverns.
Heretic is definitely the kind of game that you can spend many hours playing without realizing it. The sounds of the hero grunting in pain combined with the sounds of the weapon firing can be distracting and annoying. The soft background music draws you into the game, but there is an aural overload during monster attacks. The 3-D graphics are excellent, and the new points of view really enhance game play. Heretic is an enhanced version of Doom set in the distant past instead of the distant future. The developers at Raven did a good job at tweaking the Doom engine. So, if you need constant action, Heretic may not be your game. Although games like Heretic are classified as shooters, they are really about exploration. When you get lost and explore the same dark cavern several times, you get bored. When groups of demons and monsters attack, your pulse will pound. The action in Heretic is sometimes very exciting and sometimes very boring. It looks and feels like Doom, and its lack of originality probably prevented it from becoming the next big thing in video gaming. Heretic is a game lost in the glut of first person shooters that flooded the video game market in the early 1990s.
