Hexen beyond heretic

Add-on will be sold seperately (I do not know how much yet)..--------------.|What is Hexen?|`--------------'Hexen is the sequel to a great game called Heretic by Raven Software.Hexen's full title is "Hexen: Beyond Heretic." Heretic was the first gameto use the now infamous Doom 3D engine. It took the awesome 3Dfirst-person perspective of Doom and put it into a fantasy setting. Italso added a lot of new features to the basic game-play structure of theDoom Engine. Unlike Doom, Heretic allowed the player to look up and down(to a limited degree), carry items around and use them when you pleased,even fly! It also added ambient sounds, currents, and wind to the levels,as well as objects that could be pushed (and carried off by the wind!).It had a lot of subtler improvements as well, like better texturemapping,more detailed objects, even partial transparency as opposed to Doom's"Predator" looking partial invisibility. All of the eight weapons had twomodes of fire each, giving 16 different ways to kill your friends!And now, here comes the sequel to Heretic... Hexen! Hexen has added somemajor changes to the way the Doom engine represents the maps, not tomention more intelligent monsters, a bigger collection of artifacts, andeven different character classes!.--------------------.|What's new in Hexen?|`--------------------'For those who haven't played Heretic, it had a set of items that could becarried and used at any time in the game. This was new to the Doomengine. Hexen also has most of the first Heretic's artifacts, plus many newones! Hexen also has added a lot of atmospheric effects (like lightningin the background and MANY ambient sounds). Another nifty effect seen inlevel 1 is that you can actually break windows! There are some otherpieces of terrain that can be affected too, like the trees that can bedestroyed, even a large bell that you can ring! The sky textures can betwo layers now with parallax scrolling. On some levels there is a mountainbackground with clouds scrolling by. Some other levels have two layersof clouds scrolling at different speeds.The first thing you notice when playing is that you can choose one ofthree characters to play now! They all have strengths and weaknesses.(The details of each has moved to another section)When playing Hexen, there is a lot more emphasis on puzzles and trapsnow. No more simple hacking and slashing! (there still is a lot of thatthough!). I have found some rooms with very interesting traps, fromcrushing pillars to poison darts to rapid-fire shards of ice! Not tomention very deep pits, spiked balls, and the occasional earthquake!Another new feature is randomness in the terrain. Sometimes pulling alever can do one thing, but play the level again and it might doanother. This randomness is not used to a major extent in the demo,

Levels up to 41... there are a few numbers missing in the middle. Don't ask me why though....--------------.|What is Hexen?|`--------------'Hexen is the sequal to a great game called Heretic by Raven Software.Hexen's full title is "Hexen: Beyond Heretic."

This randomness is not used to a major extent in the beta, but has a lot of potential for making levels that are different each time youplay.Yet another new thing is the ability to travel back and forth between worlds. For instance, level 2 has portals
