How it plays
How does Hexen II play?
The game uses a first-person perspective. The main objective is to fight through large interconnected areas, locate keys and switches, solve environmental puzzles, and defeat bosses guarding progression.
Players select one of four classes, collect weapons and ammunition, use health and mana items, and activate magical artifacts. Levels are grouped into themed worlds with hubs, locked routes, secrets, traps, and major encounters. DOS multiplayer supports competitive deathmatch modes when configured for network or local play.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Hexen II?
Explore methodically rather than rushing from fight to fight. Mark locked doors and unusual switches so that newly acquired keys or quest items can be used efficiently.
Conserve mana and powerful ammunition for bosses and crowded encounters. Search side rooms and alcoves for artifacts, armor, health, and secret areas, and use each class's strengths instead of treating every weapon as interchangeable.
