Heretic - Romero's Heresy II v.1.1 - Game mod - Download

Romero's Heresy II is a mod for Heretic, created by diabolo666.

Description:

This is an universal ZDoom replacer mod for HERETIC: SOTSR to play all Heretic levels with DOOM and HERETIC weapons and monsters. All HERETIC ones have been modified. It's another tribute to John Romero hence the name.

Of course DOOM and HERETIC are copyrighted by id software and this mod requires HERETIC: SOTSR 1.3.

Most DOOM sprites are taken from the Doom 2 Minor Sprite Fixing Project v1.8 released in 2016, Romero's additional rotations are included.

FEATURES:

--------

- Four player classes: Renegade aka Heretic, Baron of Hell, Dark Elf and Marine. The renegade is the main class and is some sort of marine-mage (can use most weapons in the game).

- MP friendly weapons with weapon stay in coop (simple and compatible solution for multiple player classes).

- New weapons: alpha rifle, beta supershotgun aka supersupershotgun, magnum, doom rod, icy rod, icy crossbow...

Many weapons have been given an alt fire, just experiment. Beefed up Heretic weapons.

- New powerups: vampiric chaos device, baron morph ovum (turns monsters into friendly barons and yourself into a baron or makes you stronger if you're already a baron), tome of quad power.

- New monsters ala Raven style: ghost versions of some Doom monsters. ;) Modified Heretic monsters for a real challenge with some surprises.

- Higher difficulty with an additional skill level (black plague kills thee).

REQUIREMENTS:

------------

Requires a least ZDoom 2.3.1, GZDoom 1.3.17 or Zandronum 2.0 (or higher). Runs with ZDoom LE as well.

GL mode is strongly recommended mainly to avoid sprite palette conversions.

IMPORTANT: for Zandronum you need to set switch on pickup to always on weapon setup or else you wouldn't be able to pick up weapons!
