The criticism given to it more than 20 years ago is tarnished by the retro game value the title has today, which brings it closer to its competitors and makes it worthy of being played. However, it stood out because of its excellent re-imagining and the fantastic and entertaining sci-fi turn it took. The title received mixed reviews, it never escaped from being the shadow of the Doom, and soon after, it was overshadowed by the appearance of the Quake. Regarding weapons, a laugh track was added when grabbing a new gun that, when fired, the player is met with futuristic and non-invasive sounds to make him feel comfortable in holding the trigger button and clearing the map of any life form. Feeding the violent gameplay that encourages players to get rid of their enemies, the game returns very pleasing sound effects audibly when you shoot them. Meanwhile, the audio stands out because of its sound effects. The game is usually played in closed environments, but when the adventure continues in an outdoor location, a sky is shown prominently in black and white. The entry also has other exciting details, such as the constant contrast of the colors of the weapons and ammunition of the protagonist against the opaque colors that almost always surround the character.
The scenarios are drawn with a very well elaborated pixel art that doesn't lose the infernal and post-apocalyptic atmosphere that the title contains. The graphic part of the game is executed perfectly. Also, this is one of the few titles of this style in which the ammunition is not enough for all the monsters, so one always has to look sideways at the number of bullets that he has. The difficulty is quite high, despite the ease of the character in killing the enemies that come, a distraction can lead to several of them accumulating and pressing him to retreat, which in case of locking him into a wall is sure death. Besides, apart from the weapons that are identical to the Doom but with a different design, this entry adds new ones to the roster, such as one that, when fired, takes you immediately to the beginning of the level. Among its additions is an inventory, where the player can save various items such as healing or upgrades and use them whenever he wants. Also, this shooter gives the player overpowered weapons to sweep away all the enemies that come his way.ĭespite the similarities to its contemporaries, Heretic differs from them in many ways.
First, the map is riddled with enemies, and there is hardly a moment to breathe, which generates frantic and accelerated gameplay.
As a more fantastical clone of the Doom, Heretic shares many similarities in the way the game is played.
