Heretic II History
Beginning many years after the original Heretic, Heretic II sets you upon an epic quest across an entire continent to find a means to cleanse a world infected with a deadly magical plague that has victimized the people of the realm. As Corvus – the character from Heretic who has been banished to the Outer Worlds by D'sparil – you perform a variety of acrobatic, swimming and climbing maneuvers in order to penetrate the mystery of the plague. Exploring city, swamp, canyon and dungeon levels, you use a variety of offensive and defensive spells such as the Sphere of Annihilation, Repulsion and Fireball in conjunction with a magical bow and staff to defeat a multitude of insane plague-ridden denizens of Parthoris.
The Heretic II demo contains 2 single player and 2 deathmatch levels, plus one training level (with Chicken-Hacking action!). Download the demo and, if necessary, the DirectX 6 installer and enjoy!
