A tense, atmospheric retro shooter with deliberate puzzle-solving and class-based combat.

What players say
Players call Hexen a fantasy boomer shooter that stands apart from Doom with its focus on melee combat and class-based gameplay. However, the level design is a major sticking point: many players find the puzzles and backtracking confusing, while others praise the atmosphere and Metroidvania-like structure.
