The newly released Graven contains all of the hallmarks of the so-called ‘boomer shooter.’ Open-ended environments? Check. Searching for keys? Check? Demonic baddies? Check. But rather than cribbing from Doom or Wolfenstein 3D, its chief inspirations are two other id-published cult classics – Heretic and Hexen. Developed by Raven Software and released on PC back in 1994 and 1995 respectively, they transposed the 3D shooter to a dark fantasy setting, swapping pistols and rocket launchers for swords and magic.
