The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse lurk in the shadows before you. They are Death, Pestilence, Famine, and War. They are the root of all that is evil, but the least of your worries. The last of the three Serpent Riders, Eidolon, yet lives. As the spellcasting Necromancer, the stealthy Assassin, the defensive Crusader, or the offensive Paladin, you must defeat the dark generals and their Hell-spawned legions before you can face the archfiend Eidolon and attempt to end his ravenous onslaught. Go in peace and you will surely die.

Just What I Have Been Waiting For

This felt like the very first "Diablo" game, except that it is in the format of an FPS rather than strategy, but to be honest though, this is the absolute golden classic that I was hoping to one day make it to this platform as to which it did, quite impressive.

I love dark fantasy

Hexen II is a dark fantasy first-person shooter video game developed by Raven Software from 1996 to 1997, Experience the Quake Engine's true, polygon-based modeling for the most realistic, detailed environments ever seen in 3D gaming. Both Hexen and Heretic are quite good games. Loved them as a kid back in Wolfenstein/Doom days, love them still.

Tough as nails shooter

Hexen 2 is a game that will kick your teeth in, it's difficult and some classes are superior to others (rogue for example is pathetically unreliable thanks to slightly janky hit-detection) but for its difficulty Hexen 2 (thanks to being built on the Quake engine) gives you fast and responsive movement and an aesthetic that takes the gothic/medieval style of some of Quake into its logical end-point. Outside of movement, you'll find this follows the same gameplay loop of Hexen and Heretic, you search for switches that unlock parts of the previous areas, collect items along the way, and have two ammo pools to draw from (easing the hassle of ammo management). Should you pick up Hexen 2? If you liked the first and love Quake, definitely, though for modern systems you might want to use the uHexen source port to get smooth performance alongside some more visual options.

great but noit amazing

The only reason I am not giving this game a 5/5 star rating is because of how cryptic it gets after the second hub. The gameplay is tight, movement is fast as hell and the combat is challenging but rewarding. Visuals and atmosphere are done extremely well and the art style is immaculate. Music is also fantastic.
