This is beautiful!

So I've been trying for the longest time to figure out the name of this game my older brother used to play. The game mechanics are similar to Turrican, kind of, 2D, left to right or bottom to top. It's not futuristic, I think there were jungle themes, maybe the hero used a whip or a hook but not sure. There might have been lots of blood. I keep thinking the name is "Heretic" but that's a different game! Maybe it sounds similar?! Anyone got an idea what I could be thinking of?

I dont know, but you made me remember PP Hammer. If you left the character for a while he would stand there and start smoking. oh, how times have changed!
Leander? Jim Power? Rick Dangerous?
Jill of the Jungle?
My guess would be Realms of Chaos.
Was this game on the Amiga?
No it would have been on a 486.
Shadow of the Beast II?
