This game is a piece of history as the father of jedi outcast and jedi academy, with gameplay that holds up perfectly today. It deserves to be preserved as it's basically abandonware and it would be a crime to lose access to this gem.
Where to begin, one of my favourite games growing up, wonderful atmosphere and world, beautiful level design, I always really felt like I was on a long adventure. Today, it still plays great, the movement mechanics are really fun, years ahead of its time even. It's one of those pocket realms of the 90's that they put a lot of thought into designing, I have the physical lore book to prove it. These days even with the disc it's a nightmare getting it fired up without visual bugs and crashes, so it would really flourish with a bit of love. Fingers crossed.
I have fond memories of Heretic II, playing it as a kid with my brother. I love that it has a campaign co-op mode built right in, you don't need any mods or anything to just host and play through the entire thing, and it's an awesome experience. A little weird and lore-breaking to have two (or more!) Corvuses (Corvusi?) I guess, but well worth it.
Please, GOG, revive this absolute gem!
I remember when the original Heretic game came out and I enjoyed the shareware version over at my friends' house. Later I purchased the full version over the telephone from Id Software's store. I really enjoyed the game, however, so did another one of my friends who kept my copy after a sleepover at his house.
Fast forward a few years and Heretic 2 came out and I was excited having been a huge fan of Hexen 1 and 2. Somewhat to my dismay I found out that it was a third person perspective and not the first person view I had become accustomed too. I didn't like Tomb Raider particularly on the original PlayStation but after playing this game for awhile, became my favorite game in the series. I thought the voice acting was pretty good for its time and the controls were very responsive.
I would love for GOG to bring this game over to their platform so I and many other could enjoy it once again. I did try to install the original Heretic 2 CD on my Windows 11 PC but to no avail. GOG is probably the only way I amd others can play this masterpiece again. Thank you!
This game deserves better, it deserves to be preserved as a fun, unique and cohesive experience.
You don't need to play either the original Heretic, nor any other Doom clones to enjoy this game.
You can't get this game anywhere and many people are missing this awesome era of Raven Software.
I had the release PC CD-Rom of the game, spent hours playing, having fun with spells and good puzzles, and the memorable phrases, "I'll have to open this elsewhere".
I have a bit of a soft spot for Heretic II, even as someone who didn't play it until several years after its release (2017). It keeps drawing me back. Not entirely sure why. Maybe it's just because it's fun to play. But no matter what reason it is, this game didn't sell well, and I feel it deserves another chance. They may have changed the perspective from the previous Heretic/Hexen games, but it's still got the same core gameplay, just with some tweaks. For a while now, I've believed it's unfair that all the other games in the series have been re-released, but this one hasn't (nor has Hexen II's expansion, Portal of Praevus; that should also be re-released for the complete Heretic/Hexen collection). Let's hope GOG can change that and allow more people to experience this not-as-well-known classic.
My dad built me a PC when I was little maybe 5 or 6 and he put this game on it. This ended up becoming one of my favorite games of all time. Great gameplay and story, a beautiful world with unique characters with their own lore, I just absolutely loved it, even with how young I was. I haven't played this game since I was 10 probably and now I'm turning 24 in just a few months and I still quote things from this game and tell others just how bad I wish I could play it again.
One of the first pc games I've ever played in my youth! I loved the dark and scary atmosphere but it sadly was a bit hard for me then haha. I really hope I can get the chance to finish this more than 10 years later!
