How can we have a sequel to Heretic when the first game never actually came out in the shops? What's going on? Have iD and Raven just copped out, called it quits and started again? Well, for those of you who've been looking out for Heretic but don't really know what happened to it - it was actually a product that you could only obtain by using two methods:Įither way, it was an overbearingly average game and, not surprisingly, no one went gooey over it. As we mentioned in the article, certain weapons are for specific classes only. The only thing you will have to keep in mind is that you can’t pick up every weapon you see. Make sure to pick up power-ups and new weapons as soon as possible. and any Doom-type game certainly warrants it. But why not include it? The N64 easily supports it. So does four-player deathmatching work on a single TV screen? After all, knowing where your opponents are can defeat the whole purpose of deathmatching in the first place (which is the reason why Midway isn't planning on including a Multiplayer Mode in Doom 64). Little changes like these help make Hexen a much more interesting experience than you get with the average Doom game.Īdd to this a Four-player Split-Screen Mode (see sidebar) plus the N64's graphical prowess, and you have an aging game that may be worth looking at again. The green potion, for example, can be an explosive concoction in the hands of the warrior, or can be dropped to form a floating poisonous gas cloud when used by the cleric.
To make things even more interesting, common items have different effects, depending on which character is using it. All of the stronger weapons to be found later in the game are also unique to each character class. For example, the initial weapon that each player starts with will be either a pair of steel-gloved fists (warrior), a magical staff that offers a weak-ranged attack (mage) or a spiked mace (cleric). You can choose a warrior (a stereotypical strong, but slow fighter), a mage (a physically weak, but magically powerful character) or a cleric (a happy medium between the other two).Įach class has its own unique set of items to use throughout the game.
Your decision will affect several factors, from how much damage you can take and inflict to what weapons and artifacts you'll be able to utilize. When you start the game, you will be given a choice of what character you would like to play as.
