HEDON I & II

Hedon Bloodrite merges Hedon I and II into an entirely hand crafted 20+ hours singleplayer experience inspired by not only the best retro FPS games of the 90s, but also games like Arx Fatalis and Thief. Hedon mixes high octane action with exploration and puzzle solving, creating a challenge that encourages creativity and wit.


➣ An exotic world of lore and secrets
Embark on an adventure across an underground world where ancient and medieval civilizations meet with uncanny crystal-powered technologies.

➣ A dark, eerily comfy atmosphere
Immerse yourself in the whistling of cave drafts and the humming of the mossy crystals as you ponder your next move.

➣ Brutal, gory, fast-paced combat
Shatter your foes with a lined-up axe throw, lob acid at them from your potion launcher or ignite them with the flamethrower included into your goblin-crafted shotgun.

➣ Complex, non-linear, handmade levels
Sharpen your wits and your sense of exploration - there won't be many arrows to point you through the mysteries of the Underworld.

➣ A touch of RPG (Bloodrite-only)
Travel between Hexen-style level clusters, interact with a variety of characters, complete secondary and hidden quests, and watch some of your deeds and approaches have an impact on the world.

➣ Good company (Bloodrite-mostly)
Lead the orc daughters of the Iron Division to victory. They will prove their worth when fighting alongside you against the armies of chaos.

➣ A multi-genre soundtrack
Going from tense to serene ambient, with occasional kicks of heavy metal. All spiced up with a few Alexander Brandon tracks that never made it in Unreal and Deus Ex!

➣ Six difficulty levels
Changing not only the damage taken or how many progression clues you get but also the individual monster and item placement of each map. 
And don't forget the Bearzerk difficulty that completely changes the gameplay by swapping your regular arsenal with special melee weapons.

➣ Fully moddable
You can mod and make maps for Hedon just as easily as you can for Doom.

➣ DRM free
You buy it, you own it.

Decent old-school FPS

It plays like a mix of Unreal and Half-Life. There are numerous scripted sequences and non-combat sequences. There is a lot of reading you can do. Sometimes you have to read to understand what to do. The music (when its not just ambiance) really screams Unreal. It feels to me that Unreal was the primary inspiration for the game, but I am not the devloper so I can't speak for what feeling they wanted to create. But it's also interesting, because some maps you re-tread in different ways. It builds a somewhat cohesive world. Very interesting. In the end, it's its own thing, but definitely old school. I think it's pretty good. The art style is interesting. It definitely comes across as indistinct. I mean that... that's the art style. Soft shaded low-res art with little to no linework. Typically when you think spritework, the linework pops because there are usually so few colors in the sprite work. Here, they appear to aggressively shade the art so it doesn't look as much like sprite work any more. It clearly is, though. The main characters are interesting. Sexy, scantily clad orcs. The player character being a half-demon made me want them to play into her being like half-succubus or something. That's never really gone into. There's a world told, but not much for character stories, just what happens in the game.

Nice shooter

Good oldshool gameplay. I find chapter 2 a little bit to long for the simple story. Thanks for support linux ;)

Excellent throwback shooter!

I have played many of these old-style shooters and this is one of the best ones. It is not just a clone or a callback; It does its own thing. Through its runtime you have a linear section followed by open hub levels where you will start questing in. There is a lot of attention to detail to make everything seem lived in. The game has you fight large battles with great weapons, uncover secrets (some puzzling required for some of those), accomplish quests and progress a story. It even gives you some agency on how to pogress quests too! The art is very well done. The setting is a bit out there, yet it kept me engaged throughout. The game also changes how you play it during its campaign. The soundtrack is a mix between unreal, metal and atmospheric pieces. All-in-all, I really enjoyed this game and would put it up with Amid Evil, Dusk and Ion Fury as one of the best ones in its genre and outside its genre still as a good game.

Rip and tear, then solve a math problem

Hedon isn’t just another Doom total conversion — calling it that almost feels insulting. This is a full-fledged game crafted with passion and care. Even more impressive? It was (mostly) made by a single developer. Massive respect. Graphics are top-tier. The underground world’s textures, combined with superb lighting, create a deeply immersive atmosphere. Everything from weapon sprites and the HUD to NPCs and enemies is lovingly detailed. It has a retro look, but the engine is pushed to its limits — the “TV static” effect on portals is just the cherry on top. Sound design is meticulous — dripping water, the hum of machines, glitchy interference from reality-warping artifacts… It all enhances the mood set by the visuals. Soundtrack? Right after finishing the game, I went and bought Methadone Skies’ discography and a T-shirt. But the ambient work by Akhzul and heavy riffs by Breathelast also deserve full credit. Gameplay feels like a refined Hexen — no chaos, no confusion. Objectives are logical (brew potions from gathered ingredients), and the puzzles are fun — yes, even the algebra one. Combat is pure Doom-style mayhem: fast, fluid, and bloody. The Bearserk mode turns the action into a feral, melee-fueled dance. It’s glorious. Story follows Zan and her Iron Division sisters in a war against the Blue Baron’s hellish armies and the treacherous elf witch Nithriel. The world of Hedon is so richly built I’ve played through it twice — and a third run is calling. I’d honestly love to visit this place — as a tourist or adventurer. Pros: Gorgeous visuals Fantastic sound design Killer soundtrack Satisfying gameplay and smart quest design Deep lore and worldbuilding Made by one person (!?) Iron Division girls are absolute babes :) Cons: None Hedon is a rare gem. Old-school shooter with modern design and storytelling. It looks great, sounds even better, and plays like a dream. If you love brainy retro shooters with style, this one’s essential. Buy it. Play it. Praise it.

An expertly crafted retro-style FPS

Hedon is a criminally underrated gem put together by one absolute mad lad who had a passion for drawing thicc orc and goblin girls, created an entire world full of lore for them, and then used that passion and drive to learn how to make a game out of it. The artwork and technical feats pulled off here make me very often forget that this runs on GZDoom engine. It's seriously very impressive work! Level design is incredible, and the attention to detail continues to impress me the more I play the game and examine it. The puzzles are not simple key hunting like a Doom game. There are loads of quest items to find and use to make your way through the levels. Maybe you need to power up a switch with a crystal, knock down a wall with a pickaxe, or dig around with a shovel. Sometimes you need to craft items. Read all the scrolls you find! Not only do they expand the lore of the world, they will give you clues for how to make progress. The weapons are all outstanding. They sound great, feel good to use, and they all have alternate fire modes giving you the right tool for every type of situation. Also, as in games like Heretic and Hexen, you'll get plenty of items for powerups and healing on the go. Don't forget to use them! They make a huge difference for big battles. I enjoyed it so much on my first playthrough on Hardcore, that I started ANOTHER playthrough the following day (something I rarely do for games) using a different difficulty, Bearzerk, which is an entirely different way to play it and definitely worth going through again with. Seriously, give this a game a go.
