After fully completing every aspect of Heretic Hexen here are my thoughts: Heretic Overall fun to play. Would a younger generation like it? I would say yes, anyone can like Heretic. Straight forward, good enemy variety, lots of relics and weapons to use against enemies. Tome of power is a very fascinating aspect that changes how well weapons work vs different enemies and expands the weapon roster. Down side is that its hidden behind a somewhat uncommon item. Later game chapters can be tricky but saving at any moment (which has always existed for games from the dos era) is an easy way to try an area again. Only real complaint is some of the weapons feel very samish. Faith renewed A brand new expansion to Heretic. Held very true to the base game and worth playing Hexen Yeeeesh. I own this game on N64 and have beaten it as all character classes. Going in, I am familiar with what I'm getting myself into. I have a vague recall of how to progress through the game and I STILL GOT STUCK TWO TIMES, and had to do a search to see what I missed to progress. Hexen is a good idea but not entirely executed well. New players to Hexen may NOT find it fun, as its abit too random with how vague progression is. Any new players to the game know this; Hexen is a switch hunting adventure. Look at all walls, look for any and all switches. Pulling switches sometimes opens passages on other levels. Backtracking isn't bad but its the random "look for something that changed" that feels bad. What's even worse is that SOME progression is behind a secret! Yeah, you have to do the ancient term called "wall humping". "Wall humping" is a term used in old DOS games where you spam the "Use" button on walls searching for secrets. Of course, your character also makes an URG sound while you do, so you understand why its called wall humping. A secret passage that is apart of progression is not good progression, and there are a handful of these situation that can get you stuck. Some secret passages are somewhat easy to notice as they have a different wall texture that can be easy to spot sometimes. On top of the fact that some progression is simply moving through a level, that simply opens up other areas just for moving though a level. And some progression is tied behind taking a portal to a different part of a level you've already visited which feels oddly complicated. Hexen isn't entirely hard but a game of 1.How much patience do you have to check all walls for secrets, 2. check all walls for switches, and 3. take ever portal as it could take you someplace new in a level you've already visited. Does the new hint system really work in Hexen? It gives you an idea of where you need to be, but doesn't show you exactly what you need to do. It was helpful but sometimes not in Hexen. Replaying Hexen I feel like: All the classes are fun. Progression is too convoluted. Weapon variety is too limited. Enemy variety is also too limited. Deathkings of the Dark Citadel An original expansion to Hexen that I had never played. My only problem is this felt like a slaughter fest mod designed by a community member, or like it was made to be more like Heretic (the previous game) with tons and tons of enemies. As if Hexen was trying to be made to emulate Heretic. Heretic was about more action then button hunting. The problem is that the designers were trying to fit a square piece into a triangle hole. Hexen doesn't have a unique list of varied monsters to make interactions different and interesting. Hexen doesn't have a huge variety of weapons either. First entry into the first Hub world, I felt like I was missing something. Mana for a weapon I didn't have on top of being swarmed with strong enemies made me feel like I needed both weapons AND your classes ultimate weapon. Keep in mind THIS WAS THE FIRST HUB LEVEL AFTER THE INTRO LEVEL. Whoever designed Deathkings missed the mark what Hexen was. Very hard with some randomness to progression but not as cryptic as Hexen. Vestiges of Granduer (the best for last) WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW. This is a brand new expansion for Hexen THAT IS AMAZING! I checked steam achievements and very few people have even played this, which is super disappointing. ITS SO GOOD! THIS EXPANSION is why you buy Heretic Hexen. The price tag is WORTH IT just to simply play VoG. Its THAT GOOD! The people behind VoG development...wow just WOW! I'd be willing to say VoG is a better Hexen experience then Hexen ever was. Level design: WONDERFUL! FANTASTIC! Beautiful scenery. Amazing level layouts. It feels like you're in a fantasy scenario. The levels are so well crafted that you look around and the sense of wonder to explore these super neat environments. My favorite is the Volcanic Temple. WOW! I LOVED that level SO MUCH! Its soooooooooooooooo neat! The details put into the environments, the care crafting these levels are just amazing. Simply progression through these levels is such a treat. I don't know what else to say. Progression: You do backtracking (which is normal for Hexen) but progression is tied to key items. Early on you find a cup, you place it, you see there are 4 more. YOU, the player, KNOW what you're after. You KNOW what your progression is. The game didn't have to hide it, its right there and you can see it. Exploring these levels you see locked doors, so you keep a mental note to come back and revisit. The only cryptic theme in VoG is the secret level that is switches hidden behind some very tough hidden secrets. As an ancient enjoyer of Hexen, I already had an idea of what to look for and actually found them without help BUT if you're a new player, they might be somewhat tough (remember when I said "wall humping?). That's right, the only cryptic aspect of VoG is the secret level. Secrets: There are secrets, and if you're an enjoyer of Hexen, some of these secrets are tied to an item, and you may think to yourself, "I bet when I get that (mysterious item I'm not saying what it is for spoiler), I think that's how I can get over there." There are secrets inside secrets! And its so fun finding them as many items and secrets are tied to exploration. Yup, pay attention and roam around and you can find super neat things! It reminds me of how dark souls rewarded curious exploration. Oh and the secret level, oh my god its an ENTIRE hub unto itself! Its huge. Also there is a super neat secret area in the first Hub area that I believe is a Dark Souls reference. You need to find this place because its super atmospheric and the aspect that makes me think its dark souls related is the "Fire" and "Dark" windows. VoG was a BLAST to play! If you're reading this and you've already bought Heretic Hexen and never played it DO IT! You WON'T be disappointed. And if you're curious about buying this combo pack and you're new to both of these games, you might find either of them good or bad but do it because VoG is worth it. More people need to know how FANTASTIC Vestiges of Grandeur is. I still can't get over how well crafted it is. The designers behind VoG thank you for such a WONDERFUL gaming experience in an old ancient piece of gaming history.
Played this game in my childhood as a young girl couldn't get past the first few levels just cause I was so so young but now i'm 27 and currently playing through the whole game and the deeper levels are just so cool and the fact they remade it to play better and have better visual of the demons and maps just makes me really happy. Recommend playing this if you liked the old Doom games.
An amazing quality of life upgrade to 2 great games. Hexen still has painfully confusing level design but a lot of the cryptic elements are explained to make for a better experience. Just do yourself a favor and start with Wizard for a ranged weapon then change class on lv2 if you want
What a classic. Let's start with the original games. Heretic is basically Doom but with a fantasy theme. At least at first sight, since there's a lot of changes and gameplay mechanics that manage to distance enough from most 90s FPS. The most obvious one is the inclusion of an inventory where you can stash consumable items and activate them at any time. These items will give you cool advantages like invulnerability, a teleport back to the start of the level, bombs, and a secondary fire mode for every weapon, among others. The game is divided in 3 episodes of 8 levels each (plus a secret level per episode) and 2 extra episode which raise the difficulty quite a bit. Each episode ends with a boss fight. The plot, a filler plot as most FPS from this era, is told only in intermissions between episodes. Music is memorable and most of the weapons have very different use cases. If you liked Doom or Doom 2, this is probably right up your alley. Hexen is a different beast. You can select between 3 different classes, fighter, mage or cleric. Each character has a set of 3 different weapons plus a super special weapon that needs to be found and assembled. These pieces are generally spread in hidden places among different levels. The other huge difference, is that the game is now divided in various Hub worlds, each with a lot of levels that are not opened at first. Contrary to all classic FPS, Hexen has no focus on kills, items and secrets, there's no stats at all to keep track. The game will keep respawning new enemies from time to time to keep you alert when revisiting old areas. Each hub will feature one or two big puzzles, like fixing a clock by gathering gold and silver cogs, or find up to nine hidden switches. Some of these switches and puzzle pieces can be hard to find, the game expects you to be super thorough. If you miss a little detail, a secret wall, or library to put special books, and you will be wondering in circles revisiting everything. Maps are big and it's not always clear what's the path forward. It's still a great game, but don't hesitate to get a guide in case you get stuck. Now about this remaster. Apart from the fun and interesting early sketches and the expected quality of life enhancements, there's a new campaign for both Heretic and Hexen. Each main game and expansion can be accessed through the main menu so there's no gating the new content. There's not really much more content compared to the old releases, this is just a neat collection where you can play every game and expansion from the same game entry. Yet, the two new campaigns are worthy enough to get it. Definitely recommended for curious players or returning ones.
