One upside to them is that you can move them around by pushing them, if you’re willing to risk a stray shot ruining your day. The “barrels” in Heretic grow back when you destroy them, crowding tight areas and presenting just as much of a hazard to Corvus as they do to anything else.

Forget all you know about the stereotype… this elf is a streetwalkin’ cheetah with a heart full of napalm, to quote one of the world’s purest poems. Lucky for him, he’s not some soft-ass Keebler bitch. To reach the evil overlord, Corvus must make his way through three episodes (plus two in the expansion) of fantastic horror. Corvus is intent on destroying D’Sparil, the weakest of the Riders who has stayed behind to rule Parthoris. The Sidhe retreat, but one remains, intent on vengeance – Corvus, the character controlled by the player. In the end, the Serpent Riders’ grip on Parthoris is weakened… but at the cost of many elf lives. Only a clan of elves known as the Sidhe have dared to stand against the Riders, who have retaliated by declaring the entire race “ heretics” and waging brutal war on them. Three entities called the Serpent Riders have possessed the kings of this world and corrupted its people. Heretic tells the story of a doomed world called Parthoris. Nothing wrong with sticking to a formula.

Their first title, an RPG called Black Crypt, was released in 1992. Raven has become a big name in modern gaming, having worked on games for Marvel as well as the Call of Duty series. Though they published Heretic, id didn’t make it… that credit falls to Raven Software. The game used a modified (one could say “expanded”) version of the Doom engine, featuring advances such as ambient sound, an inventory system, and the ability to tilt the player’s view up and down.

Heretic was first released in December of 1994, and was published by id Software through GT Interactive. Everything Gerald Brom draws looks like it’s channeled right out of Robert E. Here’s the absolutely sick-nasty box art by Gerald Brom again… Corvus’s eyes are mad with rage as he hurls ruin into some trick-ass skeletons in the dark.
