Garrulous Glaahk Vexivero Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 It's a really old game from the later 90's; I used to play it when I was 7 or 8. For some reason a few days ago it popped into my memory and I found it online; it still works on newer computers and it's exactly the way I remember it SurraAgob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I believe that I played a demo of it, but never want beyond that. Didn't it use a variation of the Doom engine with a more swords and sorcery feel to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Vexivero Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I only played the demo too, but I ran through it a lot back in the day. Yeah it's pretty similar to Doom but what FPS wasn't back then; kinda like an Elder Scrolls FPS if you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I vaguely remember playing either Hexen or Hexen 2 at a friend's house. And yeah, Doom with magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer gem helper Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The Heretic/Hexen series was really weird. It started out as pretty much just a swords-and-sorcery-flavored Doom (and I loved Heretic, don't get me wrong, but that's all it really was) and evolved into some kind of weird mix of RPG and puzzle game. I liked Hexen aesthetically but it frustrated me to no end as a kid, and trying to play it as an adult it still does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 played demos of both hexens, ok games but i prefer guns in fps-games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Valdain the King Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Was Hexen that really old first person perspective action/rpg game? I think that was it. I used to argue with people it was an action/rpg rather than shooter. I still dont know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Vexivero Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think it's technically an RPG but I couldn't find any way to actually 'level up'; you only get more health/mana (no skill points or anything). Btw, if anybody is looking for a challenge try that game. I gave up after the first episode because the second one is just insane (and that was on the easiest setting). The ridiculous difficulty of the game reminds me of the latest levels of doom if anybody is familiar with those. TBH I don't mind a challenge but this one was extreme; kinda sapped the fun out of the game for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Kennedy Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 A humorous thing I liked to do was use the cheat codes to turn myself into a sheep and kill everything by nibbling them to death. Plus if you kill as a sheep you get way more XP and even earn XP from breaking stuff. Of course I also had to use the invulnerability cheat so I wouldn't die as a sheep...
