Heretic, Hexen, and Heretic II
Added by
AralesBloodmoon Heretic is a dark fantasy first-person shooter video game created by Raven Software, published by id Software, and distributed by GT Interactive in 1994. It was made available on Steam on August 3, 2007.
Using a modified Doom engine, Heretic was one of the first first-person games to feature inventory manipulation and the ability to look up and down. It also introduced multiple gib objects spawned when a character suffered a death by extreme force or heat. Previously, the character would simply crumple into a heap. The game used randomized ambient sounds and noises, such as evil laughter, chains rattling, distantly ringing bells and water dripping in addition to the background music to further enhance the atmosphere. All music in the game was composed by Kevin Schilder. An indirect sequel, Hexen, was released a year later. Heretic II was released in 1998, which served as a direct sequel continuing the story.
Hexen: Beyond Heretic is a dark fantasy first-person shooter video game developed by Raven Software, published by id Software, and distributed by GT Interactive beginning on October 30, 1995. It is the sequel to 1994's Heretic, and the second game in Raven Software's "Serpent Riders" series. The title comes from the German noun "Hexen", which means "witches" (in plural) or the verb "hexen" which means "to cast a spell".
Heretic II is a dark fantasy action-adventure game developed by Raven Software and published by Activision in 1998 continuing the story of Corvus, the main character from its predecessor, Heretic.
Using a modified Quake II engine, the game features a mix of a third-person camera with a first-person shooter's action, making for a new gaming experience at the time. While progressive, this was a controversial design decision among fans of the original title, a well-known first-person shooter built on the Doom engine. The music was composed by Kevin Schilder. Gerald Brom contributed conceptual work to characters and creatures for the game. This is the only Heretic/Hexen video game that is unrelated to id Software, apart from its role as engine licenser.
Heretic II was later ported to Linux by Loki Software and to the Amiga by Hyperion Entertainment and Macintosh by MacPlay.

EtaYorius Wait... why is this not listed as Completed?
BlueThunder8383 I guess Heretic and Hexen aren't good ol games
knootewoot Man, still not here :*( Guess i go dig in my cd archive to find them
Agentkiller All the GAMES, now GOG its an ORDER
heart-of-ice If these games don't get released by the end of this year, 2020 truly is the worst.
ghosthardware These games are far and away the most glaring omission from GOG's catalogue in my opinion. We need them available - even if Heretic II is stuck in legal hell can we at least get Heretic, Hexen (plus Deathkings) and Hexen II (plus Portal). Just add Heretic II if/when possible. I'll even pay separately for it!
jpwiseguy Oh man I'd love to see these come to GoG. That would make me sooo happeh.
Time4Tea Seriously, these must be some of the most noticeable omissions on GOG ... ?
M4dBoOmr not yet?
Kaenthur The rights Publishing Rights are with idSoftware (aka Bethesda) (source: www.finder.com.au/id-software-talks-heretic-hexen-and-commander-keen), so there should be no issue to put here since they already make available other games.
dr.birus Common gog! Don’t want to get it off steam!
Gaerzi They've been available on Steam for nearly 13 years (since August 2007). I guess GOG just isn't interested in selling them.
HighElderMaxson Why are these games not sold here? Who is responsible for such foolishness?
TheBigCore What's the holdup?
Syncron9 Would be nice to see this especially with an HD mod, never got to play through Hexen II Mission Pack - Portal of Praevus. :)
iliqna856 I hope that sometime in the future GOG can get a hold of the licence for these games.I would be very happy if these gems are added.
INFINITY1967 I absolutely refuse to buy them on Steam as these kind of Good Old Games don't belong there at all. I only hope that GOG still remembers their initial intention from time to time.
cjgonzales87 If these releases go through they should particularily include the Special Editions, (Shadow of The Serpent Riders and Death Knights of The Dark Citadel or whatever the fuck that one was. lol)
shmerl I don't get why they are still not here.
sfonor Bring it on. I refused to get it on Steam.
I have DOOM and DOOM II here. I am buying Quake and its Expansion here too. I want Heretic/Hexen complete to be released on GOG as well.
Money is waiting GOG. Your turn.
Lyrica Heretic, Hexen, & Hexen II should be simple enough. Heretic II may be tricky, but if anyone can rerelease it it's the guys & girls at GOG!
jonathanfsmith84 Wish GOG would have Heretic. been looking for so long. would definitely buy it. Have all the Doom and even Homeworld Cataclysm\Emergence. Come one GOG!!
Lebesgue Can't get it. Hexen I & II are on steam. Why not on gog? Bring them here!
Coophoon Please! Can't buy them on Steam because of stupid region lock. GOG, you're my only hope!
cukiermen Be like Nike... Just Do It :D
Boris_Hauer I once had Heretic II. Stopped playing during the final boss' fight. Never completed it. Still thinkin' about it. Sure, if the game comes up on GOG, I'll catch the chance to finally end this game from my past!
TheBigCore Is there any particular reason why these games aren't on GOG? It seems like a no-brainer for them to be here.
Yodadoodah I already own a copy on Steam but will get it from GOG if released here!
GrayPJ Me too!
flugalgourmet I have Heretic II in the Linux version and played the crap out of it. Unfortunately that was a while ago and it doesn't work anymore. Would love a fresh (non winelib) Linux port or a Windows version that runs on Wine.
Apesmith Oh, yes, please! With the fantasy setting, I actually preferred these to the Doom series. I still fire up Hexen on the Sega Saturn from time to time to get a fix. And if I'm willing to play that chugging mess of a port, I'd gladly pay to play a much cleaner PC version.
nyc29015 GOG please make this happen by brining back these classic games>>> Heretic Shadow of the Serpent Riders, Hexen, Hexen 2 and Hexen II: Mission Pack: Portal of Praevus.
Brings back great memories when I used to play these games.
Nightwitch Would be awesome to have good running ports of this games
bakerman34 these were serious games for their time and would love to see them here
symmetryofzero These are avalible on Steam and they are sloppy ports (Hexen II needs work and does not include the mission pack. No Heretic II on Steam either), I'd rather have all of them on GOG! GOG does a better job at consolidating expansion packs as well. Please GOG Hexen is one of my favorite games!
Mydocalm Heretic 2 was so awesome....
Mythic_Dawn I would definitely love to see this game brought to a digital and updated form for certain!
Though I loved Heretic Shadow of the Serpent Riders, I really digged Heretic 2's world more and loved the acrobatics you did with all the powerful staffs and magic this game had to offer!
Please! I really want to have this game here on GoG >_<
Berzerk2k2 With games like Blood, Doom, Quake, Redneck Rampage, Shadow Warrior, SiN and Unreal being available here it is a duty to bring all the Heretic and Hexen games and their expansion packs to GOG so please make that finally happen and close this still existing gap.
idbeholdME How are these not on GOG yet? It is a gaping hole in GOG's roster of games. And don't forget about Hexen II. How come steam already has these games? Nothing will make me buy games from Steam so please, PLEASE add theme here.
poshdan I'd buy these in a heartbeat!
derFeef I hope this happens soon!
##@@##@@ Would love to play these games! Also all of the expansions and Hexen 2 just for the sake of having the complete series.
Ast0lat Need !
COgenial do it gog
ignacio1993 These games are classics that need to be on gog.
JohnReinhardt87 Please add these games to the site GOG.
zhare86 and hexen II
ChipChipperson10 Yes, please!
EzeVin Come on dudes, you already have duke nukem, doom, shadow warrior, rise of the triad, blood, .... all you need is to add heretic to the collection and the classic 2.5 FPS of the 90s will be complete. Cybermage could also be interesting
