A quest starts to find out what exactly has befallen the town and who’s to blame, one that will take you to just about every corner of the kingdom. Heretic II starts immediately as the elven protagonist from the original ’94 game returns to his hometown of Silverspring, only to find it ravaged by a disastrous plague.
It’s a mixed third-person game with some Tomb Raider tossed in as well. Yet Heretic II stands out not for rehashing the original game but for being the most different of the lot. Years passed and two indirect sequels followed suit, Hexen: Beyond Heretic and Hexen II, with a final fourth game to conclude the story. Early 90’s shooters were never much on storytelling, but Heretic did stand out with its dark atmosphere, great level design and creative monsters.
Raven Software’s dark fantasy saga first saw light when Heretic hit shelves in 1994, becoming the quintessential Doom clone to own that year.
