Following on from the positively rated Hands of Necromancy, HON Team and Fulqrum Publishing are back bringing you more Heretic and Doom styled fun in Hands of Necromancy II. Available with Native Linux support.
Looks like a lot of fun for retro-FPS fans, with some truly silly weapons and spells to use like a tornado to launch enemies into the air which was a fan favourite from the first game. Plus plenty new in this sequel like a grenade that splits into many smaller grenades to give a big area-of-effect boom. You sure are eating good if you're a fan of games inspired by the classics.

Technically, this is more of a free culture project than a free software one, much like FreeDoom.Are you sure you are on the correct article? Hands of Necromancy assets are very much all rights reserved as far as I'm aware, although the engine source code is open. So, specifically free software, not free culture, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Hadn't heard of this series before. Made me go pick up the original at GOG. Figure i'll give it a go first.
