Description : In a world shrouded in darkness, where the forces of evil hold dominion, one hero must rise to the challenge. Prepare for an epic journey into the heart of darkness with 'Hexen: Veil of Darkness' - a fresh and fiendish hub adventure utilising the power of GZDoom's Hardware mode. In this corner of Cronos, a shadowy sorceress, the notorious and macabre Mistress Nox, has acquired the Chaos Sphere. With its dark power at her disposal, she's been busy building an army of abominations, casting the world into eternal twilight. You are the chosen one, a hero marked by the Gods themselves. Your divine quest? Venture through treacherous swamps, delve deep into haunted forests, explore creepy castles and dungeons, and ultimately unlock the enigmatic portal to the Shadow Realm. Prepare thyself for: New and nastier adversaries to conquer. Shiny new items to master and wield. Puzzles to perplex and ponder. An intricate hub world for you to get lost in (in the best possible way). Interact with exciting new 3D objects - including crates that beg to be smashed and treasure chests that need unlocking. Additional info about new items: The Talisman of the Depths lets you breathe underwater for a limited time The Emerald Amulet lets you resist acid for a limited time (like a Doom radsuit)

Finally! A version where you can disable the respawn! As beautiful as the
levels are, the crazy respawn was literally knocking all the joy out of them, discouraging exploration and making it tedious, if you decided to persist. I should add creating a proper weapons mod for this one on my to do list. And
then give it another go.
