Beyond Heretic

Beyond Evil. Beyond Hope. Beyond Heretic. Beyond any 3-D Game Ever Created.

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 - a warrior, a mage and a cleric - have escaped the leaders' vicious spell. Now these three 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.

Reviews:

Home PC, February 1996

"If you liked Doom, Doom II and Heretic, there's no question you'll want to score a copy of Hexen, the final chapter in the Doom dynasty. The worthy sequel packs all the bloody bravado of the original Doom, then adds some enticing new challenges to the mix."

"Hexen is more complex than the other games in the series, offering three classes of characters and multilevel puzzles; for the first time, you'll have to use your head almost as much as your heavy artillery, and to win, you'll have to travel back and forth among the levels."

"Hexen's three heroes - cleric, warrior and mage - approach combat differently. The warrior uses his spiked gauntlets to crush the monsters in his path, while the mage uses his sapphire wand, and the cleric relies on a 'mace or contrition'. "

"Hexen makes greater use of special effects than Heretic did - from smashable stained-glass windows to lightning, fog and earthquakes - yet the basic look of the game remains the same."
