- Hexen II is a fantasy first person shooter made by Raven Software and published by Id Software. It was released in 1997. The game uses a modified Quake 1 Engine.
Note:I was playing with the source port "Hammer of Thyrion" which will make the game work fine on modern systems and allows you to use Full HD resolutions.
Can be downloaded here: uhexen2.sourcef...
Hexen II is the last game of the Serpent Rider trilogy (well except for the addon Portal of Praevus ofcourse but I meant the last of the main games ;D ) and this time you are after Eidolon the oldest and most powerful of the Serpent Riders. But before you can get to him you must defeat his generals: Death, Famine, Pestilence and War. You probably guessed it already, they are basically the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
It generally is the same game as Hexen 1 and even uses the "hub system" again where the maps of a chapter are connected to one center map and can be entered from there.
In Hexen II you can still choose from different characters (this time there are 4) but now they implemented a simple XP system where you can level up and get stronger when you kill enough enemies. Every character has different stats and weapons ofcourse.
The game still has multiplayer and is like Hexen 1 a perfect candidate for the coop mode because everyone can play a unique character. - เกม
This game has a really unique feel to it, none of which you can find in today's games. This is why i prefer the oldschool stuff.
As a kid, I was immediately drawn by the drawings of paladin and crusader in the gamebox.
I played this game a lot and from what I can see online, other gamers find this game and it's puzzles pretty hard, but I completed it... the atmosphere just captivated me. I guess you have a ton more patience when you're younger.
WOW this variety in enemies is awesome.
lol, back in '97 i played the demo of this game in software mode on a Pentium I :D
i remember i also had some framerate issues xD
was a great game back then!
its a great game right now
I played the demo too back then and all I did was destroy every thing I could
@@goreobsessed2308 yes but i still prefer heretic and hexe 1 and dark city with gzdoom
@@Scoelho83 yeah agreed except dark city what's that think I missed that one
08:09 That was kinda funny, how you shook your head in disbelief after that barrel exploded. Oldschool hitboxes, am I right?
I would ultimately ditch this genre of video games as a kid for Winning Eleven and Pro Evolution Soccer, but I recall playing Hexen II circa 1999. Still have fond memories and it's good to know the recollections are still vivid.
It's interesting how many textures and flats look similar to the original Hexen's. Great vid! :D
Damm we need a remake or remaster of these series so bad for new gen consoles 🤯🤯
Called skyrim
Another underrated masterpiece. I wish this game wasn't the commercial flop it turned out to be. All things aside, I hope Bethesda buys out Activision and hands over the development rights to ID. I believe they're in a far better position to revive Heretic and Hexen as compared to the now dead and buried Raven
I remember playing the first hexen on the n64. (was actually my first game on the system). I had always hoped that they would release the sequel, but I doubt the n64 could have handled it. They really need to do a modern version of the series. I'd buy it in a heart beat!
You can forget this idea. Now Raven Software belongs to Activision and Activision makes them do nothing but work on Call of Duty.
I remember playing demo version of this game, when I was little, I was afraid of being attacked by those squids in the water.
Thanks and yeah I'm gonna continue with the channel as long as I can :)
and you did
When I was kid, that game always gave me a headache. I don't know why, but I guess it a movement of character inside those tunnels
woah the nostalgy, i remember playing this a lot on my Pentium II back in 2002 or so....damn. I always got stuck at the part from min 7 lol if only i had this video back then I would have enjoyed this game more :(
Believe me, the first few levels are "simple" yet still very complex. To play the whole game and enjoy it you would need a walkthrough and still get stuck somewhere XD
The Hexen levels were always needlessly complicated, had a lot of backtracking, hard riddles and are just easy to get lost in.
It's a cool game but I would almost bet that most people have never seen more than the first episode, maybe a bit of the second. ^^
Nostalgic Games Back when this came out I had only played the demo (after falling in love with the first hexen), but had been told the game was cancelled. I wish I hadn't listened to my friend. I missed out. 😭
I remember playing Hexen 2 as a kid and getting hopelessly stuck at one point.
Some of the puzzles are pretty obscure.
Sadly I gave up back then and never finished the game but I feel nostalgic seeing it again.
I should pick it up in the current Steam sale, it deserves another chance.
great game, awesome quality video
Where the hell is the reboot of Hexen?!
The company who made this series has been acquired by Activision and now works on porting CoD to other platforms.
@@CrusherTechnologies another company wiped out by Actisatan
It's called "Amid Evil" and "Apocryph".
Quake 1 reboot first...

I'd kill for that. But you're darn right. It's high time that some AAA production breathes life into the original lovecraftian Quake. I like what the Indies are doing for Aeon of Ruin, but it's about time that we get a fully fledged modern Quake just like how Doom was rebooted.
I'm quite sure that ID and Bethesda can take that up as a worthy follow up project given the success of Doom.
this was the future of gaming....
7:58 That was Satisfying.
Sometimes I gotta get into playing that
Back in 98-99..ms dos games
This is cool looking
Man. Breaking more things including some walls
I’m trying to run this on a classic computer with a couple of voodoo twos except that I cannot seem to change the resolution to 1024 x 768 using the commands. It’s driving me nuts
This gameplay reminds me of Heretic. Would love to play it.
Tanno Buchino It's a sequel, and they used a mash of heretic and hexen 1 music to continue the audio theme.
It reminds me more of a mix of Hexen and Quake.
It was released in 1997.
Yeah thanks for telling me, don't know why the heck I wrote 1995 ^^
Fps old School
I remember trying a demo in 5th grade and got scared of it lol
What scared you in Hexen II?
@@Maxime_Martyr personally i was like 5 or 6 when i played it, and i remember the atmosphere was what made it spooky. Also the sound effects, oh man
6:00 Sheep Catapult
Cat Shed, I love ye enough
TNX
game like elder scrolls?
No, it's more like Quake with fantasy weapons.
There are some very basic RPG elements like experience points and your character getting stronger but it's pretty much all automated. This game is more shooter or action game than anyting else.
smash!
Music isn't as good as Quake's, but what can you do. You're fighting Nine Inch Nails with a MIDI soundboard, you can't expect much.
Quake hasn't really music, rather ambient soundscapes and synthesized drones to create atmospheric tracks.
In an interview, Trent Reznor said that the Quake soundtrack "is not music, it's textures and ambiences and whirling machine noises and stuff. We tried to make the most sinister, depressive, scary, frightening kind of thing... It's been fun."
You can't compare ambient sounds and musics so you can't compare Quake's soundtrack and Hexen II's.
As a formerly HUGE NIN fan, I think Quake 2's soundtrack by Sonic Mayhem was miles better. And yes I realize it was a different kind of experience.
I never liked Quake's experimental soundtrack, it felt as if I was a guinea-pig for Trent Reznor's experiments, I enjoyed Quake II's soundtrack much better!
But Quake's Mission Packs' soundtracks are not bad either. :-)
Actually the retail version of Hexen 2 has CD Music just like Quake had. I am listening to it right now. Can't find my Quake retail version anymore though. :-(
