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. They are the least of your worries. The last know Serpent Rider, Eidolon, lives. As the Necromancer, the Assassin, the Crusader, or the Paladin, you must defeat the dark generals and their Hell-spawned legions before you can face the Archfiend and attempt to end his ravenous onslaught. Go in peace and you will surely die.

- Possess distinct spells, powers and 32 new weapons. With experience, gain levels, more hit points and certain abilities that apply to your specific character class, such as increased speed, firepower, and jump distance.
- Bludgeon your way through four demon-infested worlds – Medieval, Egyptian, Mesoamerican and Roman. Smash stained glass windows, collapse structural beams, and pulverize trees.
- Come face-to-face with Knight Archers, Fire Imps, Were-Jaguars, Skull Wizards and more. Go in with friends, or go against foes in a bloody Deathmatch. Up to 16 players can go at it via LAN and over the Internet.

Great old-school shooter but obviously rushed to release so there are some inconsistency in quality of the title:
1) RPG progression system is a joke - half of your stats literally do nothing.
2) Rogue character is unfinished and unbalanced - both her perks are useless. Backstab and invisibility (only in shadows and when you stand still) in a Quake-like game must be a joke. Her uber-weapon kicks ass requiring only 1 point of each mana per shot (which makes you forget about any mana management as soon as you find it).
3) Some puzzles are just braindead. They pushed riddles even further down the obscure road and Egypt hub suffered the worst of it. I bet 85% or people got stuck in this hub in pre-internet era.
4) Too many items and powerups. This drops difficulty significantly if you are thorough with your hub exploration (and, frankly, you will have to because you can't solve puzzles otherwise). I was stuffed with everything to max starting from hub 3 and till the end. While first two hubs can give you some challenge (especially if your first weapon is melee) from further on it's a cakewalk. And I played on HARD which is considered by some pretty challenging.
5) Not all hubs are equally fun. Egypt is a fucking disaster, feels like it was developed in the last turn and they just couldn't polish it enough till release. Mazaera is also irritating to some degree, but for other reasons.
At some points Hexen II feels unpolished or badly designed, but for the most part it's very enjoyable.
PS. Don't smash you head against the wall and go for walkthrough if you are stuck for too long on a puzzle - some of them are just trash.
PSS. Portal of Praevus addon is not sold on on STEAM but you can look for it on the internet. It's good, it actually improves on some aspects of the game and it has two new hubs and one new character. Highly recommend!

Is that a Horsemen... a Serpent Rider... or a Jabberwock?!
I don't exactly know what they are! However, somebody killed something: that's clear, at any rate.
The Vorpal Blade went snicker-snack!

Classic vibes, a must have if you a retro games collector! 10/10 vibes, wish it ran better but thankfully the community has mods and many guides to get this game running smooth as it can be!

Great game that works well with luxtorpeda-dev.
Needed some walkthrough help to figure out where to go and some of the puzzles, but fun gameplay and interesting weapons & items to experiment with.
