Description
: Hexen is the sequel to Heretic. Like Heretic, Hexen is
a fantasy game based on an enhanced DOOM engine. All of Heretic's
innovations like vertical looking, flying, and the inventory system
have been carried over. The new major changes this time around are
three characters for the player to choose from and the level hub
system. The characters are the Fighter, the Cleric, and the Mage.
Each one has four unique weapons and different levels of speed and
armor. The
hub system steps away from the traditional "single levels stringed
along into episodes" system which had been carried over into
the FPS (first person shooter) genre from sidescrollers and made
popular by Wolfenstein 3D. In Hexen's hub system each episode is
still made up of interconnected levels, but most of the levels are
connected to a single "hub" level through portals. There
are also portals between some of the "spoke" levels. Many
of the puzzles in Hexen require travel back and forth between different
levels. Other
innovations in Hexen included weather effects, jumping, earth-quakes,
and destructable objects such as trees and vases.
