Raven Software licenced the Doom Engine from id Software to build Heretic. With a solid foundation, Raven Software added an inventory system (so you can carry items around and use them when you please), and new actions (fly, look up and down, water currents). The visuals are also better than Doom: jump into water and it splashes, kill a Gargole and its corpse blasts (instead of simply drops down).
Like Doom, you lose all your weapons and inventory items each time you switch episode. Actually, each episode is like a separate game selectable from the start. When you switch levels within an episode, you lose some of your inventory items. No matter how many identical items you possess, you can only keep one of them after the level switch.
The original game has only 3 episodes, with 9 levels (including one secret level) each. The free upgrade included 2 more levels, also with 9 levels each. * The first episode starts from The Docks where you enter the City of the Damned, the stronghold of D'Sparil on Earth. The episodes ends with Hell's Maw, guarded by two Ironliches, who are the episode boss. At Hell’s Maw, you have wiped out all his minions on Earth, but if you don't seal the portal from the other side, they would keep on coming. * In episode two, you start at the other side of the portal to explore the other side of Hell's Maw. Besides the monsters you have seen back on Earth, you run into new monsters that are even more powerful. You could also locate better weapons and ammo on your way. Your is to reach the Portals of Chaos, finish the two Maulotaurs guarding it, and seal the portal. However, a distinct laughter reminds you that they are only servants of the Serpent Rider. * In episode three, you found that, instead of returning home, you were transported under The Dome of D'Sparil. The only way back is to face the Serpent Rider at his home. Fighting your way through even more fierce monsters, you would reach the D'Sparil's Keep for the predestined battle. * After you killed the Serpent Rider, the portals there take you to even farther places: the Ossuary and the Stagnant Demesne. The two added episodes of course doesn't have new monsters or new weapons. So they might not be as exciting to those who are less addited to Heretic. The ending level of the Ossuary is guarded by 9 Ironliches. The ending level of the Stagnant Demesne is guarded by 8 Maulotaurs. Really give you some bad dreams.
