Hexen: Beyond Heretic vs Hexx: Heresy of the Wizard

After the defeat of D'Sparil in Heretic, Hexen transports players to the decaying world of Cronos, where the Serpent Rider Korax threatens to plunge the realm into chaos. Three heroes—a warrior, a mage, and a cleric—must navigate elemental dungeons, wilderness, and a necropolis to stop his evil regime. The game blends first‑person shooting, spellcasting, and puzzle solving, offering both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer experiences. Players can run, walk, fly, and explore a richly detailed fantasy‑horror environment while hunting powerful artifacts and mastering unique class abilities.

You control a pre‑generated party of four adventurers—warrior, wizard, ranger, and assassin—exploring a sinister tower and four hidden dungeons. The goal is to retrieve talismans that imprison the souls of the four greatest gods and release them to stop the evil wizard’s plan. The game blends first‑person exploration with seamless real‑time combat, offering 32 spells across earth, chaos, dragon, and night magic. With 16 characters to choose from and a focus on fantasy adventure, it delivers a classic RPG experience from 1994.
