A solid Hexen port on N64. Three classes with very different styles, vertically interconnected levels, medieval puzzles and dark magic. Navigation can lose you and the engine shows its age, but the dark-fantasy adventure has character and real density.
N64 port of the dark fantasy FPS Hexen, where three heroes confront the demon Korax in a cursed medieval world. Published by GT Interactive, released in 1997 in Europe and North America. Three character classes, interconnected levels with puzzles, and spells and weapons unique to each class.
Multilingual European pressing of the N64 port of id Software's dark fantasy FPS, distributed by GT Interactive in 1997. The N64 version added a four-player split-screen mode absent from the original PC game, making it a technically singular object in Hexen's history. The pan-European PAL box, less frequent than the dedicated national editions, forms the base of a regional collection of the title.
Is Hexen still worth playing in 2026?
Hexen is the N64 port of Raven Software's dark fantasy FPS, in which three heroes of distinct classes face the demon Korax across a cursed medieval world riddled with puzzles. The non-linear structure, blending hub exploration, searching for keys and levers, and melee or magic combat, gives it real depth for the time. The labyrinthine navigation can disorient. For fans of retro fantasy-flavored FPS and demanding exploration, it is a genre classic still interesting to explore.
