> I thought about giving a rating to the mod, but I feel like it wouldn’t do it justice. I was keen into the concept of summon and I was simply curious. Gonna have to get back to you on that.Okay, I downloaded the mod from the website: įirst of all, I want to say that, before starting, that I checked every skill of every class and I didn’t care at all about any of them, beside the necromancer. A few weeks ago I watched a review of a game in development that seems to have been directly inspired by Heretic/Hexen.
Theres a Hexen TC for doom3 that looks amazing, but unfortunately it seems to have died out. For some reason they associated the Hexen series with deviously hard puzzle games, when in fact it should be all about atmosphere and great fantasy combat. After watching a bunch of videos on it, Im glad I didnt, as the puzzles seem to have been taken to ridiculous levels of intricacy and randomness. I mean, Hexen's atmosphere was so strong, the art direction was so amazing to me, but in Hexen 2 it just felt generic, not nearly as epic. I havent played it in many years, but it added things that should have been in the original all along, like experience points, player progression, more effects for the weapons (and the fact it makes it possible to finally slash with the sword, how I missed that!), much more challenging monsters.Īs for Hexen 2 I remember playing the demo and being intrigued by the first castle stage up to a point with the first few steps you had to take, but really underwhelmed by the weak melee feel and the complete lack of character. Theres a gameplay mod for it called Korax' Heritage, and it makes the game amazing to play again, very challenging. The expansion pack had some of the coolest maps ever, they took the engine as far as it could go. Some of the maps are just big abstract puzzle stages, and I hate puzzles. Unfortunately, back in those days, a lot of games were about cryptic puzzles and less than believable world building, and Hexen suffers from that, a lot. The levels were very unique, brilliant atmosphere, a lot of mysteries to keep you guessing. It was the mix I had always dreamed of, take the cool elements of fantasy rpg and make it a badass fps game. epic, with the different player characters and the more unique scripted environments. It was my first computer game, that I owned. I was the biggest hexen fan back in the day.
