In Heretic, three Serpent Riders conquered the world by enslaving the minds of men. Hexen is the story of battle against the second rider, Korax. This time, you can choose between three warrior classes: fighter, cleric or mage. Fighters use short-range weapons, mages use long-range magic, and clerics are half way between. Still using a modified Doom engine, the character can jump and move around in three dimensions. Instead of a linear set of levels, there are level hubs that lead to connected levels, and levels can and must be revisited to complete the hub. There are four levels in the shareware demo.
