Hyperion Software has acquired a license from Activision to port Raven Software's highly acclaimed Heretic II to the Amiga. Heretic II is the stunning conceptual sequel to Heretic and Hexen and is based on Id Software's advanced Quake IITM engine. It plays from a behind-the-back third-person perspective as in the Tomb Raider series but still controls a lot like a first-person shooter.
In Heretic II, you play Corvus, the Elf who was exiled to the Outer Worlds but managed to find his way back home. Unfortunately, home is not the place it used to be: the land is beset by a dark magical plague and Corvus' brethren have mutated beyond recognition and have become insane with bloodlust. Enter Corvus, our hero to save the day.
Corvus has various movements such as running, jumping, swimming, climbing and creeping his way through myriad locations, solving puzzles and invoking magic while fighting off cursed inhabitants. Corvus has a huge array of weapons to use, for example, a Hellstaff which fires energy blasts at a furious rate, the Storm Bow, whose magical red arrows create deadly thunder showers and the Phoenix Bow with its exploding ammunition. In addition, he can employ the use of numerous magical spells, including fire- and lightning-based attacks that light up the screen with stunning pyrotechnics.
Heretic II will require a PowerPC processor, a graphics card and will be CD-Rom only. Heretic II should be an exciting game as reviews of the pc version were in the high 90's.
