DOSGames.com Review: 
Based on the DOOM engine, Heretic was only mildly popular on its release because there were so many copycat 3D-shooting games released around the same time. However, Heretic is one of the better shooting games released in the pre-Quake era. It has solid level design, good graphics & sounds (although of course you're limited to 320x200) and really the only major criticism that could be leveled at it is that it's too much like DOOM.

Heretic is a supernatural blast-fest that
is the most realistic, action-packed
fantasy combat computer game for the PC.
Created by the graphic masters at Raven
Software in concert with the technical
gurus of id Software, Heretic adds new
levels of play and graphic wonder to the
tried and true DOOM gaming environment.
