Retro-themed first-person shooting game
Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders is an action-packed FPS game that offers a retro feel akin to platforms associated with the 1990s. Set within a medieval dungeon, players will have to slaughter numerous formidable enemies and battle with powerful bosses.
This game is a single chapter within the larger Heretic franchise. Offering up intense three-dimensional combat, numerous areas to explore, and a host of uniquely designed monsters, first-person shooting fans should be impressed with this classic rendition. The fact that this new iteration offers a multiplayer option should lead to even more fun and excitement.
Multiplayer options
One of the main differences between Heretic and traditional FPS games is that up to four players can be supported at any given time. This provides a greater sense of teamwork when fighting swarms of enemies. However, it is also possible to activate PvP mode for those who enjoy head-to-head competition.
Weapons upgrades abound
Staying true to traditional FPS platforms, players are provided with the ability to upgrade their weapons as the game progresses. There are seven unique items that can be equipped, including a powerful staff known as the Phoenix Rod.
User-friendly controls
Even those who are unfamiliar with FPS mechanics should not have a difficult time learning this game. All controls are highly intuitive, and important information, such as a life bar, is clearly displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Back to the Basics
Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders takes players back to the immortal days of PC-based platforms, such as DOOM. Whether battling hordes of demons in single-player mode or teaming up with online friends, there is no doubt that this bundle will bring back fond pixel-based memories.
