Hexen is a medieval FPS released in 1995 by Raven Software, utilizing a more advanced version of the Doom engine. It is the sequel to Heretic, even though it takes place in a completely different world. In Kronos, the world of Hexen, Korax has invaded the world and brought it under his rule, giving unholy power to the leaders of the Legion, the Church, and the Arcanum, and causing chaos throughout the lands of Kronos. Three individuals, Baratus, Parias, and Daedolon vowed to stop the Serpent Rider, only to end up being separated, and they must travel the lands of Kronos in order to reach Korax's domain.

Hexen greatly improved on Doom's engine, adding stuff like swinging doors and scripted events, as well as the ability to select your character, each one with their own set of weapons and abilities and attributes. It also had an extra set of retail levels sold seperately called "Deathkings of the Dark Citadel". It also later spawned a sequel that used the Quake Engine: Hexen II.

Continuing through the Reiver infested Necropolis, next up is Menelkir's Tomb. Short level, but the boss uses a weapon that can home in, and my plans to cheese Menelkir were partially thwarted, but I still got him.
