Hexen: Beyond Heretic

This classic game was awesome when i was a kid. i never finished i am going to play it again soon i got it too work with a handy software called d-fend reloaded it basically is dos box with a Gui and got too the second level. is like a old rpg just a few things you have to grab and to make some stuff. it also has leveling too. find keys too first to unlock some doors. ever rpg with competition with the first ever elder scrolls game i think. i check the first elder scrolls game you can get it for free. how was the disc it was like brand new get it;s worth it. no problems with it :D

Arrived in good condition with the original manual and case. To play this on a modern computer, don't install the game, just copy the .wad file from the disk and run with gzdoom or some other doom engine source port.

I enjoyed this just as much this time through as I did when it first came out over a decade ago. The graphics come across better on the newer cards. Just be careful that you've got a win95,98 machine or emulator that will run it.

LOVED it, totally fantastic and definitely a good buy, make a good purchase with this one and you'll be pleased

I can never say enough good things about hexen. When it originally came out i was mesmerized by the jump in technology from the standard doom 2 engine. Gone were the days of fixed viewpoint and feet firmly on the floor. You could now jump, fly, look up and down, use different potions, magic and strategies to defeat more monsters than you could shake your wand at, on top of that a atmospheric and eerie soundtrack full of medieval enchantment beckoned you to look around the next corner. Hexen was one of the first, if not the first to employ and utilize the hub system. Level after level of butchering was done away with in favour of interconnected levels where an action on one level could open up doorways and more on another, portals linked the archaic and gothic ruins drawing you deeper and deeper towards the ultimate showdown with korax. One of the greatest aspects of the game was how each monster was used as a chess piece in battle against you, with short range, medium range and long range attack creatures working together to bring you down with a vengeance. I firmly believe this game influenced Quake more than any other game, especially the atmosphere and style. Romero was executive producer on this Raven title and you can feel alot of this game in the original Quake. This game runs beautifully on doomsday, just google for it, its a free program that brings back all the beauty of this title, heretic, hexen and the original doom games. Enjoy!!!

One of my favorites. I have not played it in years, but it was a satisfying game that had different choices which changed the game somewhat.I wish someone would redo it for modern machines, Windows 10, etc. I will buy it again if that ever happens.

There are better fps games out there, but this is still my favorite. It is certainly the best doom engine fps. The atmosphere, sounds and music are really what separate the game but it is great in other ways as well. It is still the only fps game with hand to hand combat that I think was done well. This can be picked up for a pittance these days so what are you waiting for? Give it a go!
