While you were battling the evil forces of D'Sparil, the other Serpent Riders were busy sowing the seeds of destruction in other dimensions. One such dimension is the decaying world where Hexen takes place. A world littered with the mangled corpses of nonbelievers and inhabited by the undead followers that executed them. Only three humans &endash; a warrior, a mage and a cleric &endash; have escaped the leaders' vicious spell. Now these brave souls have sworn to crush the evil regime that threatens to destroy the world forever. Separated upon entering the mystical portal, the three are forced to attempt on their own what they had hoped to do together: find Korax's stronghold, destroy him and restore order in the physical world.
Heretic-to-Hexen is a mod for Hexen that brings Heretic's maps to Hexen. Maps were heavily modified to work with Hexen assets, as well as containing new features from Hexen and new map progression. All weapons and enemies have been modified in an attempt to balance the experience due to the differing map designs between games. The final version 3.0 contains 3 episodes. I have no plans to do the expansion episodes. version 3 includes many more changes to gameplay. Most notably all monsters now have an elemental affinity, which makes them weaker to some attacks but more resistant to others. Poison also works differently, standing in poison swamps will slowly drain health, the longer you stand in it, the longer the poison will persist. Any healing item can be used to cure poison. The boots artifact has also been changed, it no longer boosts speed but instead provide protection from dangerous terrain. The maps are much darker and rely heavily on dynamic lights and hardware rendering.
I have said that I good idea for a new mod would be putting Heretic into Hexen, basically making the entire Heretic game in a Hub style episodes connected to make Corvus journey even cooler.
That would be awesome but a ton of work and planning would be necessary to make it fun to play.
definitely, I do hope more and more mods, updates, and remasters come to the Heretic/Hexen series.
This looks interesting but hasn't been updated in a while. Here's hoping it doesn't end up forgotten.
Just updated it today. Episode 2 released!
Really cool thing you are doing here mate! Thanks for the hard work.
more please :)
