I'll be honest, I enjoyed Hedon more than Elderborn. Elderborn was really great up until the Act 2 bossfight, which I simply could not overcome. And from what I heard, Act 3 wasn't all that great in comparison to previous episodes, so I wasn't in the mood to go back through it on a lower difficulty in the hopes that I'd be able to somehow cheese Biggie and Smalls and go through Act 3.
also, vowel-single consonant-vowel in english is pretty much always the first vowel is long, so hee-don would be generally correct. Same reason for silent E's; "same" would be "sam" like "ham" without the E.
the best part about Headon is that its literally just wax. its essentially the same thing as regular chapstick, but with less active ingredients. as far as i know, they never made their nut back from that massive ad campaign
@@SilverSarith Early morning ad space like that is cheap. It's the time when Head On started showing in other ad time slots that became worrying. No longer was the core audience just stoners, first time dads trying to get their kid to sleep or meth addicted soccer moms. It was bigger and they wanted to rope us all in. Then the ad went viral...
@@ZanDevYT I've thought about doing that myself. Then I remembered I have no skill in making art and just pay my friend for my idea. Game looks good! Good job!
@@ZanDevYT I understand everything I need to understand about this game: I understand that it's a 1st person, Doom-inspired shooter set in a fantasy world, and that you made it in part because there are very few games out there that actually let you play as the cover art from a heavy metal album.
I initially read the headline as "H-DOOM" and thought, "I guess Civvie doesn't care about TH-cam monetization. Bring on the video being pixilated for half of the time."
24:20 it's kinda cute that you think in 10 years, you'll have enough good behavior to be transferred to Ross's game dungeon Prison on the moon. No civvie. You're never getting out of this prison.
Bearzerk is actually really fun and not that hard. The shield is a lifesaver. Multiple axes so you can throw axes while axing people. Fire hammer is like a reusable grenade that makes you immune to fire. Force pike which is AMAZINGLY fun, the alt fire catapults enemies towards you and often as not launches them halfway across the map. Totally worth replaying the game just for that. The great axe is the only one that isn’t a stand out for me, it’s really good but kind of simple, just hit stuff till it dies. Bearzerk is well worth playing. It’s not a super challenge mode imo, but an alternate arsenal which, without being weaker, completely changes how you approach fights.
The force pike makes the entire mode. Being able to pull enemies off of faraway ledges and splatter them on the ground is basically the defining characteristic of Bearzerker.
I actuall find Bearzerk easier than Brutalizing because of how well balanced the melee weapons are. A spear that yoink's people, a hammer that makes you fire and lava proof that can be thrown for explosive damage.
It's in the readables, there is one in the forge level that specifically tells you that the purple gas will explode upon contact with fire. But he probably missed that and how the crushbow is also a railgun.
@@Civvie11 I think it might do the damage of several rockets if you ignite it, which is why max ammo for toxic potions is so limited. it usually one-shots the iron maidens (large shield melee women) and is a huge explosion
@@Civvie11 at 8:03.... don't know why.... but Katie's "input" in this video 🤭 .. reminded me of this heavy rock and roll 😈🤘👿 >> th-cam.com/video/zhyaAPsT1LU/w-d-xo.html
The design of Hedon's first half kinda reminded me of immsims in a way--it's almost entirely environmental storytelling, and the level design *feels* very open-ended, even when it's ultimately linear. It's almost never _keys_ you're looking for, either--it's power cells, ingredients for potions, materials to forge a _copy_ of a key--things that emphasize that this is a *real place* that people do things in when you're not slaughtering them.
I picked it up cause of this vid and damn I'm really impressed. Lots of little details and yeah, a lot of where you move through does seem like somewhere people actually live in and spend time
Civvie sounds much happier in this video than the last two. Kinda seemed like he didn't want to make the last couple of ones. Well, assuming that's in any way true, glad you're doing better, Civvie!
But continued happiness is detrimental to the output of profitable videos. Ax3 told us that. And Ax3 is somehow both controlled by the administrator and a quarter of Civvies brain.
Okay, this convinced me to buy Hedon, and one thing Civvie got right is the sheer size of the levels. Jesus fuck, the first level alone took me an hour to finish. And I loved every bit of it.
it gets way wrose and you will spend hours and hours not knowing where to go what to do and just walking around aimlessly. I like the idea of the game way more than the game itself
My wife and I both cracked up so damn hard at the "That is my thing" crack, easily the most hilarious possibly not joke you've made in the last few vids Civvie.
"Head on - apply directly to the forehead" will now occupy the same part of my brain as the old "Dental plan. Lisa needs braces" loop... Which plays through my head way more often that it should... Thanks Civvie...
Bought Hedon, tried it, couldn't get past the first map, quit. ...then something clicked and I started to play it with the mindset of it being something like the original Tomb Raider, and BAM! GOTY experience for me. Got hit with those lovely Half-Life and Deus Ex vibes. 10/10. Edit: also to add, don't know if I'm just a suuuuper slow player or what, but completing both episodes took like 45h for me, searching for secrets and all included, so I feel like there is a really, really good chunk of content with this one.
I had the same issue, for me I just put it on Brutalizing mode... uhh wouldn't recommend it for a first time play (spoils some enemy encounters) but it kept me engaged until the 6th level and I kinda just marathoned it after that.
Civvie, thank you for making this video. I watched up to the spoiler warning, then bought the game, and just beat it today.

As one who solely played Bearzerk, can confirm, very brutal and unforgiving, but unique to crack some of the 'non-ranged range attacks'. More throwable axes and enemy-magnetic spear, 'nuff said.
and the spear also has an extended reach too - not sure how far exactly; the fire immunity from the hammer making you lava-proof (but not molten metal proof) is very nice as well
The Great Axe also gives you immunity to "Nature" which basically means 90% of elf magic. Also what I love about the spear secondary is that the velocity they are travelling towards you in will increase your damage. So if you time it right, you can 1 hit gib most enemies.
Well, that's one way to recognize a game from Civvie's video. By recognizing the main character from porn that the creator of it made of them years ago before the game was a thing.
@@viyhexe131 even better that she could break my back with her legs. It may be a one time fling but damn will it be worth being a paraplegic afterwards.
This is by FAR the longest and probably most fleshed out "Doom clone" that there is. Civvie keeps bringing it up but I really can not stress just how huge this game is. These levels are massive and it's like going through a maze every new level. It's insane.
@@yahyamusseb the orcs you live with are an amazonian tribe (wonder woman style) who had decided to utilize Crystal magic to fight the demons back, something very forbidden by orcs who lived on the surface. Because of using Crystal magic your tribe got exiled to the underground, and currently all of you and your goblin, dwarf, and minotaur underground friends are pretty much the only ones left who hadn't been turned into demons or killed.
Won't lie, I've loved every moment since I stumbled across this channel I can't tell you how many times I've watched pro doom and doom 2 and my favorite tek war.. but id love to see a pro Jedi knight
I am currently playing Hedon in Bearzerk difficulty. Unforgiving but also very satisfying; once you understand how each melee weapon works, you feel powerful. The difficulty curve takes a dramatic peak in Blood Rite. Spoilers: Don't fuck the succubus to get the taint of lust. You get to fuck another demon who gives you a health boost.
This is a step up from everything you've done before and you were already doing awesome work. Seriously, the editing and your line delivery are better than ever.
@@MrDevious88Lockdowns aren't the issue. It's those fucking crypto-kiddies snatching up all the cards, it's been a *big* problem for years. Lockdown may have exacerbated it a little, but it's been an ongoing issue for a while now.

Here's hoping that what brings about the end to the trend of retro-style boomer-shooters is what ended boomer-shooters the last time way back in the 90s: a mainline entry into Half-Life. Hey, that's an idea, Gabe is just waiting for peak retro-boomer shooters before unveiling Half-Life 3.
I wonder what Civvie's thoughts are on Doom 3 Resurrection Of Evil, which I guess you could call a request for a future review since it introduced some new things and gave us one of my personal favorite Super Shotguns in the entire Doom franchise. which I ended up using far more than the Dollar Store Gravity Gun, (cough, cough), uh, I mean the Grabber.

Man this retro revival we've been having has been incredible
Well, that's one way to recognize a game from Civvie's video. By recognizing the main character from porn that the creator of it made of them years ago before the game was a thing.
Wait what?
Are you serious?
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 the creator of the game is in the comments admiting he learned to draw just so he could draw his own porn. one of my people.
@@micalzoncillo249 ork futa is life
@@akimbofurry2179 why would ppl think futa has anything to do with this game?..
I hope Civvie and Ross do a crossover episode. I'd LOVE to see Civvie go on a vacation from his dungeon to The Game Dungeon.
@Legofan94 Why would...
I...
.............
Hmm.
Ross showed up for a minute or two in the big Half Life video
High quality content, a confusing lore. what more could you ask for?
Hot orc chicks. Oh wait, we have that too!
@@viyhexe131 even better that she could break my back with her legs. It may be a one time fling but damn will it be worth being a paraplegic afterwards.
@@viyhexe131 "chicks"
Naw
@@michaelkolano8686 dude why are you obsessed with futa in this comment section? thats not what ppl think when they see this character
@@D_Vice88 it's what the creator says they are. And you're the one obsessed with following me around commenting on all my replies.
Bless the dude who wrote all the captions for this video. You're a true G.
Thanks. 👍
This is by FAR the longest and probably most fleshed out "Doom clone" that there is. Civvie keeps bringing it up but I really can not stress just how huge this game is. These levels are massive and it's like going through a maze every new level. It's insane.
HEAD ON, APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD
I'm a simple man, I see a game with a thicc orc girl, I'm sold
It's pretty wild how this game just keeps ramping up. Like, in every way. Impressive stuff.
But wow it's really horny.
That begs the question where are all the males?
@@yahyamusseb There's a couple of em, but probably most got turned into cultists.
NOT being horny for monster girls would be weirder.
@@yahyamusseb the orcs you live with are an amazonian tribe (wonder woman style) who had decided to utilize Crystal magic to fight the demons back, something very forbidden by orcs who lived on the surface. Because of using Crystal magic your tribe got exiled to the underground, and currently all of you and your goblin, dwarf, and minotaur underground friends are pretty much the only ones left who hadn't been turned into demons or killed.
@@yahyamusseb If you look up the main character you will find the answer to that question. Don't do it at work.
"You can just no-sell magic attacks with the ring"
Ah, must be Hogan's HOF ring.
Orc waifu is Abyss confirmed
Civvie Ashes 2063 and Afterglow is literally like this. The first one is good but the 2nd game cranks it up a notch
Amazing what doom 2, romanian dev energy and thicc orc thirst can do to a mf
Thicc Orc Thirst is unquenchable.
Won't lie, I've loved every moment since I stumbled across this channel I can't tell you how many times I've watched pro doom and doom 2 and my favorite tek war.. but id love to see a pro Jedi knight
6:28 The dude made the music for Tyrian. TYRIAN! Enough said.
And also both of the Vigilante games! One hell of a composer for sure
And civvie don't even mention it, Tyrian music is so good.
"Tyrian the Level" is burned into my memory, and sometimes I'd pull up the in-game jukebox just to listen to it.
I am currently playing Hedon in Bearzerk difficulty. Unforgiving but also very satisfying; once you understand how each melee weapon works, you feel powerful. The difficulty curve takes a dramatic peak in Blood Rite.
Spoilers:
Don't fuck the succubus to get the taint of lust. You get to fuck another demon who gives you a health boost.
This is a step up from everything you've done before and you were already doing awesome work. Seriously, the editing and your line delivery are better than ever.
Yeah when I see a muscular big booba orc girl game that plays like doom I'm definitely sold and intrigued to play it.
Cumbrain
HDoom w/Zandronum skins.

Orc girls are best girls.
Virgin Elf waifu vs Chad Orc waifu.

Hey! Need to stimulate the economy somehow. Why not by spitting in your face and telling you to spend more while they try to break your computer?
@@KuroeNezumi Especially when video card production has slowed to a crawl due to lockdowns.
@@MrDevious88Lockdowns aren't the issue. It's those fucking crypto-kiddies snatching up all the cards, it's been a *big* problem for years. Lockdown may have exacerbated it a little, but it's been an ongoing issue for a while now.
Man, Civvie's the only youtuber that any time he uploads i am legit excited
Just finished Bloodrite, most fun i've had playing a game in a few years. Zan_HedonDev pulled some goddamn magic out of their hat with this, looking forward to seeing what they put out in the future (come on Hedon 3... that cliffhanger at the end of Bloodrite...)
agreed man, finally finished it during christmas myself, beautiful game and the final part cant come soon enough !
2:12
Ah yes, Civvie. Channel your inner Randy, give yourself to the dark side.
They have all the sentry drones down there. They all float.
I was just wondering when a new Civvie vid was going to go up. Glad to see it
I liked this game due to Alexander Brandon's music, his work on Unreal Engine 1 games made my childhood...
Nice game to play while waiting for Ashes - Afterglow aka Episode 2
0:25 that's some old, stale Half Life meme here
Now that you mention it an ashes video from civvie would be cool
Meanwhile Civvie shows the list and I'm like 'dude, Vigilante 8?!? That was my jam as a kid!'

Oddly enough I was thinking about your channel in the shower this morning.
I’m sure that’s not weird.
Can't be any wierder than having dreams of slaying demons next to Postal 4 Civvie who keeps trying to give me crack that's so cheap he can't be making profits off it while frequently overcharging me for guns I shouldn't even be able to use and yet I can.
"You have to poison this dog!" Shit, definitely not playing this then. "Or... you could make a sleeping potion!" Oh Hell yeah, I'm back into it.
hey civvie thanks for the good content youve been helping me through a really rough time, thank you :)
Hope you feel better, life is rough sometimes :/
@@jeremieh5009 thanks :) im survivin
God, Hedon is so good, and i only foudn it 'cause of this video
gg civvie
Thank you remembering the existence of the non-vocal fanbase. You just keep doing you Civvie.
damn Civvie rly know his audience and how the internet works 1:45
If you didn't know, the rat that gets picked up around that time is based on a meme
Katie has too much power now, she enjoyed torturing Civvie. Poor Civvie xD
So this is how Hdoom will look like if they decided to make an epic story and have RPG elements 😂
I'm waiting for the mass of "big booba hell sniper when"
: )
First time I've ever peaced out at the spoiler warning on a vid and boy that was a good decision. This game was damn amazing. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
I did the same and only now just came back to finish this video. Well worth it.
"If I wanted to get ripped off for livestock, I’d play… what would I play?"
Is this hinting at a Shenmue III video?
Ya know, I'm really into retro FPS games, and I'm REALLY into big buff ladies. I've played Hedon and it satisfies both of these mental camps.
Civvie?
I love you, man. I mean that. Your vids crack me up every time, keep doing what you do sir.
'Wow, this game is really horny!" It is endlessly amusing the amount of people that haven't figured out hedon is just a vehicle for the creator's futa OC.
his futa oc is not cannon is this game he himself confirmed it.
I actually bought Hedon because of this video and wow, everything in this video is true
Oh and FUCK the gargoyles
This video actually introduced me and convinced me to play Hedon, and I'm so glad you covered this game because this might actually be one of my favourite games after playing through both crystal heart and bloodrite
Civvie reviews a game with amazonian orc girls.
Hè knows how to make his fans happy.
Imagine the mating press
Civvie is an excellent host.

Yup, finding out there's a song called "I Wanna Be Your Dog" for the Disney movie Cruella is the single most cursed thing I could have seen today
Here's hoping that what brings about the end to the trend of retro-style boomer-shooters is what ended boomer-shooters the last time way back in the 90s: a mainline entry into Half-Life. Hey, that's an idea, Gabe is just waiting for peak retro-boomer shooters before unveiling Half-Life 3.
I wonder what Civvie's thoughts are on Doom 3 Resurrection Of Evil, which I guess you could call a request for a future review since it introduced some new things and gave us one of my personal favorite Super Shotguns in the entire Doom franchise. which I ended up using far more than the Dollar Store Gravity Gun, (cough, cough), uh, I mean the Grabber.
One day, I imagine, when you run out of boomer shooters, you’ll arrive at timesplitters. And then I will be happy.
timesplitters is a boomer shooter ?
So when do we get that TNT video?
When he finally stops being a lazy bum about it and realize the voices will stop if he follows through with it.
Since one of ashes 2063 dev has bean working on hedon dlc , when (not)pro ashes 2063 (both episode + dead man walkin dlc) civvie ?
I've been watching you since pro wang man and nearly all of your videos are worth multiple re-watches but something about this one, it's produced so well. I love it, premium lels. Thank you for your hard work, this crap can't be easy.
It would be awesome seeing you do a video on Killing Time. The Windows version, not the 3DO version.
It's like an open world doom clone from the 90's, But with a 1930's setting.
I dont demand specific game reviews from you civvie, I'm satisfied to merely watch you suffer. :D
A new Civvie vid always feels like Christmas morning.
Yeah it’s always such a great feeling seeing a civvie video pop up in your recommended
If I got a nickel every time I accidentally discovered a new waifu through watching Civvie I'd have 2 nickels. It's not much but I'm stoked that it happened twice :3
Btw the game is now updated with an option so jumping around is less slidey to make platforming easier
The fact you played a midi version of jungle love in this is great.
I bought this game when 1.0 first hit and still haven't gotten around to playing it even though I keep meaning to.
Me too, I had it when it was a doom mod and wasn't even a proper game yet lmao.
@@riks081 You have to play it, now
You talking about Soundtrack shortly in the video was interesting.
Why not make a video about gaming soundtracks and how they tie into games like this civie?
