Heretic has several open source engine choices. But playing the game initially required purchasing the proprietary data (or downloading the proprietary shareware version). Blasphemer is a project to replace proprietary Heretic data with non-proprietary data. Thus allowing players to enjoy a complete Heretic-like game with no proprietary entanglements.

Turn enemies into multiple gibs in this dark fantasy 1st-person shooter. Look up and down (sort of).

These are in addition to the features seen in its predecessor, Doom.
