Slick graphics; new enemies; and the chance to change your friends into chickens. Heretic's mystic setting just doesn't equal Doom in bone-crushing atmosphere. The same kick-in-the-teeth violence buffet as Doom, but with great new trimmings.

Hoewel het concept natuurlijk overbekend is, denk ik dat Heretic je op dezelfde manier kan verbazen zoals Doom dat vroeger deed. Echt de moeite waard, misschien alleen een beetje te makkelijk.

Das Programm ist technisch äußerst kompetent, flott spielbar, zugleich aber Innovations-frei und allzu routiniert runtergenudelt.
