Heretic

Raven Software, Id Software, 1994

Heretic is like an elaborate modification of Doom, everything has been changed from the space marine theme to a dungeons and dragons theme.  All the Doom weapons have been changed, but there characteristics remain the same, the staff behaves like fists, the gauntlets like the chain saw, the ethereal crossbow like the shotgun, the dragon claw like a chain gun, the phoenix rod like a rocket launcher, etc.

However, there are some plusses where the designers have added something original that really lifts the title above mediocrity.  There are for example the Tome of Power, an item that radically changes the behavior of the weapons, and the Morph Ovum, an item that turns enemies into chickens.

But what makes Heretic truly outstanding are the gauntlets of the necromancer.  The sound effects of this weapon are superb, when readied you can hear the electricity in the air, and the 'Dzjing' sound it makes when engaging a fight make it the light sabre of computer games.

Heretic - I'd like to buy a dozen of those indestructible barrels, please. They pass the unholy gauntlets of the necromancer test. Heretic - I'd like to buy a dozen of those indestructible barrels, please. They pass the unholy gauntlets of the necromancer test.
