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.
Dedicated German edition of Hexen on N64, distributed with German box and manual for a market subject to strict oversight of violent content. The presence of a dark fantasy FPS localised for Germany without major censorship is the notable particularity of this run. Rarer than the multilingual PAL version, the German variant interests collectors documenting the circulation of action games on this specific market.
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.
