More Koudelka (PS1, 1999)

After encountering a host of indescribable Lovecraft horrors and eldritch beasts from Hell, I was delighted to meet by far the best enemy in the game, an adorable void cat.

Damn fine kitty right there.

#crt #retrogaming #playstation

Koudelka prepares to deploy her most deadly magic as a four-armed demonic brute bears down upon her.

Edward looks up in horror at an eldritch monstrosity composed of an extraneous amount of limbs, some of them human. He prepares to strike.

Koudelka takes in the decadent ambiance of Patrick Heyworth's quarters. Red carpet adorns the stairs. Masterwork statuary hold aloft burning candles. Marble pillars project wealth and power. Yes, Patrick Heyworth, owner of Nemeton Monastary, certainly thinks highly of himself.

In Roger Bacon's room, the party is attacked by what seems to be a mundane black cat, but this feline holds an arcane surprise. This may be my favorite CRT photo I've ever taken.

Nice work! Funnily enough, I’d always rated Hexen more than Heretic right up until I played this collection. I think now it’s all said and done, Heretic is my favourite of the two.

Had a go at dark brown sugar in my coffee tonight. Normally go with Demerara so it was a pretty nice change. 🙂‍↕️

That’s the last Hexen expansion done! All Heretic and Hexen episodes are now complete! Seriously, this an amazing package for the money, absolutely stellar stuff.

Paul Darbyshire 🇪🇺 @pablo0151.bsky.social · 22h

Yep, all actual hell has broken loose. 💀

Getting togged up like this can only mean one thing…

A little throwback to the fabled issue 48 of Super Play. Still immensely grateful to @retrogamermag.bsky.social for this one. 🥲

My biggest gripe with X was the music. All that cheesy guitar stuff did nothing for me.
