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.
Hexen is a very atmospheric and dark Fantasy/FPS-game. As you fight your way through with melee weapons or magic you will encounter deadly enemies and solve confusing puzzles. You also have an inventory which is used to store various items for later use. The world is much more mature and realistic
than Heretic's and everything feels more alive with blowing leaves, foggy swamps and
environmental ambient sound.
However, there is a minor drawback. And that is the lack of weapons per class compared to Doom or Heretic.
Overall, Hexen is still a true gem from the 90's gaming era.
(The game was played through GZDOOM engine v2.1.0 using HEXEN.wad v1.1)
