About Heretic

Three brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, have used their powerful magic to possess seven kings of Parthoris into mindless puppets and corrupt their armies. The Sidhe elves resist the Serpent Riders' magic. The Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and waged war against them. The Sidhe are forced to take a drastic measure to sever the natural power of the kings destroying them and their armies, but at the cost of weakening the elves' power, giving the Serpent riders an advantage to slay the elders. While the Sidhe retreat, one elf, sets off on a quest of vengeance against the weakest of the three Serpent Riders, D'Sparil. He travels through the "City of the Damned", the ruined capital of the Sidhe, then past Hell's Maw and finally the Dome of D'Sparil.

Heretic port: quick answers

Do I need to own Heretic?
Yes. EDGE-classic needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Heretic port finished?
It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is 1.53.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows, macOS and Linux.
Is it an emulator?
No. EDGE-classic builds on the game's released source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
