The Story
Hexen took everything Heretic built and made it darker, harder, and stranger. Three classes — Fighter, Cleric, Mage — each with four weapons and completely different combat styles. The hub map meant leaving a level didn't mean it was over. Raven packed environmental puzzles, scripted events, and true interconnection between zones. It's the most mechanically sophisticated id-engine game ever shipped, and it's almost never discussed. The shareware demo includes the entire first hub.
