🌍️ Wikipedia:
Heretic II is a dark fantasy action-adventure game developed by Raven Software and published by Activision in 1998 continuing the story of Corvus, the main character from its predecessor, Heretic.
Using a modified Quake II engine, the game features a mix of a third-person camera with a first-person shooter's action, making for a new gaming experience at the time. While progressive, this was a controversial design decision among fans of the original title, a well-known first-person shooter built on the Doom engine. The music was composed by Kevin Schilder. Gerald Brom contributed conceptual work to characters and creatures for the game. This is the only Heretic/Hexen video game that is unrelated to id Software, apart from its role as engine licenser.
Heretic II was later ported to Linux by Loki Software and to the Amiga by Hyperion Entertainment and Macintosh by MacPlay.
Gameplay
Players control Corvus from a fixed camera in 3rd-person perspective. Players are able to use a combination of both melee and ranged attacks, similar to its predecessor. Defensive spells are also available, and they draw from a separate ammunition pool. The game consists of a wide variety of high fantasy medieval backdrops to Corvus's adventure. The third-person perspective and three-dimensional game environment allowed developers to introduce a wide variety of gymnastic moves, like pole vaulting, in a much more dynamic environment than the original game's engine could produce. Both games invite comparison with their respective game-engine namesake: the original Heretic was built on the DOOM engine, and Heretic II was built using the Quake II engine, later known as id Tech 2. Heretic II was favorably received at release because it took a different approach to its design.
Plot
After Corvus returns from his banishment, he finds that a mysterious plague has swept the land of Parthoris, taking the sanity of those it does not kill. Corvus, the protagonist of the first game, is forced to flee his hometown of Silverspring after the infected attack him, but not before he is infected himself. The effects of the disease are held at bay in Corvus’ case because he holds one of the Tomes of Power, but he still must find a cure before he succumbs.
His quest leads him through the city and swamps to a jungle palace, then through a desert canyon and insect hive, followed by a dark network of mines and finally to a castle on a high mountain where he finds an ancient Seraph named Morcalavin. Morcalavin is trying to reach immortality using the seven Tomes of Power, but he uses a false tome, as Corvus has one of them. This has caused Morcalavin to go insane and create the plague. During a battle between Corvus and Morcalavin, Corvus switches the false tome for his real one, curing Morcalavin’s insanity and ending the plague.
Un jeu d'action et d'aventure mettant en scène Corvus, de retour d'exil, par le studio Raven Software, portage Linux par le studio Loki Software.
Il utilise le moteur id Tech 2 (celui de Quake 2), de Id Software.
Heretic 2 est la suite (publiée en 1998) du jeu éponyme, un shooter en vision objective (en vue externe, contrairement au précédent opus) reprenant son protagoniste, Corvus, de retour d'exil et après la mort de D'Sparil, découvrant qu'une mystérieuse épidémie a balayé la terre de Parthoris. Se retrouvant lui-même infecté, il doit partir en quête d'un remède avant qu'il n'y succombe lui-même. Cette quête le mènera en différents lieux et jusqu'à Morcalavin, un ancien Seraph, à l'origine de cette épidémie ...

🌍️ Wikipedia [en] (traduction partielle du Bottin):
Après que Corvus soit revenu de son exil, il trouve qu'une mystérieuse peste a balayé la terre de Parthoris, prenant la santé de ceux qu'elle ne tue pas. Corvus, le protagoniste du premier jeu, est forcé de fuir sa ville natale de Silverspring après que les infectés l'ait attaqué, mais pas avant qu'il ne soit lui-même infecté. Les effets de la maladie sont maintenus à distance dans le cas de Corvus parce qu'il détient l'un des Tomes du pouvoir, mais il doit néanmoins trouver un remède avant qu'il n'y succombe.
Sa quête le conduit à travers la ville, et de marécages à un palais de la jungle, puis à travers un canyon désert et une ruche d'insectes, suivi d'un réseau sombre de mines et enfin à un château sur une haute montagne où il trouve un ancien Seraph nommé Morcalavin.
Morcalavin tente de parvenir à l'immortalité en utilisant les sept Tomes du pouvoir, mais il utilise un mauvais Tome, alors que Corvus dispose de l'un d'eux. Morcalavin avait ainsi sombré dans la folie et avait propagé l'épidémie. Au cours d'une bataille entre Corvus et Morcalavin, Corvus interverti le faux tome avec le sien, guérit la folie de Morcalavin et met fin à l'épidémie.

Heretic II est un jeu vidéo d’action-aventure développé par Raven Software et publié par Activision le 31 octobre 1998 sur Windows avant d’être porté sur Linux, Mac OS et Amiga. Le jeu fait suite à Heretic dont il reprend l’univers médiéval-fantastique. Le joueur incarne Corvus, de retour après son exil, alors que celui-ci découvre qu’une épidémie a balayé le pays de Parthoris. Après avoir lui-même été infecté, Corvus part en quête d’un remède. Le jeu utilise une version modifié de l’id Tech 2 de Quake II pour afficher l’environnement en trois dimensions du jeu que le joueur observe en vue à la troisième personne. Comme son prédécesseur, le jeu propose une combinaison de combat au corps-à-corps et de combat à distance, le joueur disposant notamment de différents types de sortilèges.
