HYMN: A Heretic Community Project

Really nice wad, and well made, except some bugs but it was very good anyway' Map e1m6 was my favorite :)

Amen to that!

Truly beautiful maps marred by sometimes tedious gameplay. Few maps are to large imo and go on for way too long. They are also over-reliant on tedious switch/key hunts which were never my cup of tea.

Great wad. A shame it isn't optimized for co-op. I foolishly went ahead and start a co-op server without checking the readme and ended up having to cheat to get past some part. But other than that, it plays surprisingly well in this mode! Anyway, beautiful, beautiful set of maps, worth downloading even if one isn't into Heretic.

It works with ZDoom as well, I have played it using ZDoom 2.7.1 and with Wrath of Cronos mod. And yes, I haven't found green key either in E1M9 and I just strafed into exit platform but I killed all monsters anyway, so I don't think I missed anything. As for levels, difficulty varies from easy to hard depending of map (I only died once, which was in level 2), later levels have tons of enemies. Overall I liked the episode, hope to see more. 5/5 -FistMarine

This brings back some memories!

Works with gzdoom, not with zdoom. Played @ UV. Maps architecture varies form 2.5/5 to 4.5/5. First maps have good gameplay, but imho the slaughtermaps do not work. E1M8 might have some orientation points, most areas are quite similar/repetitive. So gameplay: 1/5 - 4.5/5. Overall: as Heretic maps always have +1: 4/5 for the efford, but pick your maps and skip the others.

This is indeed a good job. Played with Guncaster mod, large levels are really enjoyable that way (i guess mod kinda breaks level design due to overhauled movement and "flying", so it might not be everyones cup of tea).

superb 5/5

Y'know, sometimes maps can be TOO big. And I question whether E1M9 can even be completed without cheating. There is NO WAY that a person can get to the green key without cheating. Some mappers know secret areas well - whereas others make their secrets so obscure it's ridiculous.

I hate Heretic, but still I voted 5/5 as I know what is a good job.

I'm trying this on ZDoom but it just doesn't work. It won't even run!
