Description
You are a Necromancer: a lone sorcerer who seeks to grow ever more powerful and learn new forms of dark magic. You search for challengers to fight, so you can hone your wicked craft. You destroy many monsters and wild creatures, yet none of them seem truly worth the fight...

However, one day, suddenly more creatures entering your world. You know something bad is happening, but maybe this is an opportunity to prove your might and show the world that you are the truly fearsome mage you always knew yourself to be.

Explore many beautiful environments - a country side, a forest, a cemetery, a castle, an ice cave, a volcano, and more - all teeming with danger to prove yourself against, as their denizens try to destroy you.

Get weapons, use magic spells, and learn transformations to fight your enemies, using their own abilities against them and bending nature to your own will.

Use the Tornado Spell to toss your enemies away with wind, or the Ring of Ice to freeze them solid, or even an Unholy Hand Grenade to blow them to smithereens!

Gain transformations as you grow in power - become the Swamp Serpent who can slither into tight spaces while breathing underwater, or the Stone Breaker Golem that smashes walls into tiny bits, the Hell Burner Demon that safely walks on lava, or even a flying Wyvern!

All of them are your key to defeating the many creatures in this metroidvania, as you explore the 21 maps in 3 giant and exciting hubs!

Basic Boomer Shooter (think Heretic)

This is a basic boomer shooter that could easily be the cousin to Heretic or Hexen. If you liked those games, but this. There's nothing really innovative here, but there doesn't need to be. It's solid and fun. The nice thing is also that it's straight zDoom engine stuff. Actually, I was able to use it with the -iwad parameter pointing to it's main iwad and play it just fine on the Linux version of gzDoom. I could then run other add ons with it. It's been a great time, well worth the price.

Hexen by another name

This game plays a lot like Hexen with lots of puzzles and hub level system but can long and tedious and repetitive at times also just like Hexen. Play slowly, take your time and pause for days or weeks between plays. Is gonna help make it less repetitive. I find when I come back feels a bit fresh again and I have to remember what I was doing and works well with Hexen type games for me. I think overall the design or game is quite interesting. The powerups are unique. Weapons are unique as well. Monster design quite interesting. Level design also pretty cool. All weapons are usefull and you begin with 2 weapons. For me the game monster/weapon/texture design feels a bit more like Heretic than Hexen a mishmash of different things put together but the level design is deffinitely Hexen.

A+ Game for it's type!

Excellent title for GZDoom enthusiasts, particularly Hexen fans. A little light on polish but makes up for it with large, well designed levels just big enough to get lost in but not too lost. Enemies and weapons have large variety with some standout spells but nothing really overpowers anything else. All in all a very solid title with a lot of heart.

Don't underestimate GZDoom

I saw this in the store for a bit and wrote it off because GZDoom. The game is great though. Definitely similar to Hexen with less cross-level change frustration and much better weapons.
