Some contain a single level/map others are complete episodes with multiple levels.so in total there are probably 450-500 maps to play in this collection. I'm running the Brutal Heretic RPG HD3D port which adds hi-res textures, 3D sprites, gore and leveling/RPG element to the game (It's basically a version of GZDoom with some extras). You'll need to have the commercial Heretic - Shadow of the Serpent Riders installed. You can pick it up on Steam for a few $.ġ. Unzip the Brutal Heretic RPG HD3D.rar into your Launchbox/Emulators folder and setup an emulator in LB called Brutal Heretic.Ģ.

I am using screenshots for Box artwork and I made up some (very cheesy) clearlogos for all the maps. These codes will only work on the demo version of Hexen. I also have video clips off all the maps but it's a whopping 22GB so I'm not sure how I would even share those.I just used the integrated OBS recording to capture these.Though somewhat forgotten these days, Heretic was an important milestone for the FPS genre. Type these codes in when playing the game. Using a modified version of the Doom Engine, Heretic offered a number of significant improvements and advancements in FPS gaming, including interactive environment elements, an inventory from which a player might use any number of weapons or powerups they had collected, and, importantly, the ability to look up and down! The codes will not work on the highest skill level (and probably during deathmatch games). Heretic features a variety of levels that mix dungeon-crawling through narrow corridors with wild fire-fights in wide open spaces. While some stages still have that cobbled-together feel of early FPS games, many have the sort of sensible and recognizable approach to level-design that became the norm for games like Thief: the Dark Project. There IS a major twitch factor to Heretic in that a number of the more open stages begin with large-scale magic shoot-outs, where you must thin out a score of enemies before you can start to explore the stage in earnest. This may take some getting used to, and the punishment for dying is a loss of weapons, which can make a tough spot feel almost impossible. But if you're up for a challenge, Heretic will dish it out. Heretic brought FPS gaming forward by a huge leap while also bringing in high fantasy elements to a genre which had before been dominated by the modern and the futuristic.

While the experiments in FPS design explored in its sequels were less successful (particularly the sprawling interconnected levels, moon-logic puzzles, and faux-RPG elements of Hexen II), Heretic changed gaming, and for the better.

If you are a fan of the FPS genre, particularly classics such as Doom and Wolfenstein 3D, and haven't played Heretic, you owe it to yourself to play this masterpiece.
