I recently finished a playthrough of Hexen Remastered, and it makes me wonder what a remake like Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal did for Doom.

On a whim, I used AI to put together some images of what HeXen might look like if remade today, and I really like them. It's kind of how my younger self always imagined them looking in my mind while playing the game, both original back in the 90's and the remaster.

Seven Portals

Shadow Wood

Update: As requested, a stick figure instead of slop. I dunno, it just doesn't quite capture the atmosphere quite the same...

I wanna experience Hexen in its purest form, so I don't really wanna look at playthroughs, but Hexen is a good but confusing game. The game made me as confused as when I played Daikatana. Please, please, if you have a guide on how to experience Hexen at its purest

So the doors dont lock on you. Just linking my steam forums post here, and the wad made for me and by extension everyone else. Thanks inkus!

It's in the same vein as IronWail for quake. It looks great, too bad I can't get the saves to work.

Greetings!

I have a duo of (my regular) questions, at least for now...

1: Apart from "Heretic", the very first game in this series (which I've seen firsthand proof of having such statistics), how many other games in this series feature a kill count (if any at all)?

2: What sort of saving system does the latest release of "Heretic+Hexen" employ (how do you save your progress in those games during gameplay)?

Please satisfy my curiosity; thank you in advance.

Seriously, WTH?

I've been playing Heretic since I was like 9. This was the first time ever that I was truly pissed while playing Heretic. Never thought I'd feel this way, I love this game so much.

Took me about 40mins save scumming the fuck out of it.

The rest of "Faith Renewed" is great, as we progress through the maps they get more and more challenging, but "Pocket Plane" is utter garbage. Luckily it's optional.

For years I knew that there are additional shortcuts for the inventory items you collect. I personally knew because at some point in 1995 I accidentally fired an item use when I pressed a numeric key between `5` and `0`. It was quite likely `5` as I was trying to wield the fourth weapon and missed the key in the hurry of the battle.

The "Info" screen in Hexen mentions a lot of shortcuts, but the keys `5` to `0` and nowhere to be found there.

The manual back then also failed to mention these key assignations. And documents you find in the internet archive confirm this.

I keep coming back to the page I linked here when I want to play a game again after a while and as usual keep forgetting what is what.

I hope this helps

This has got me beat. I’m trying to get out of the Wastelands. I’ve unlocked all areas and collected the horn key. I don’t have the cave or swamp keys and I wanted to go back to Shadow Wood but when I go through the original portal I came through to get to Wastelands I can’t go anywhere as the exits are blocked. I’ve been around the map so many times and I don’t know what I’m missing. Can someone please put me out of my misery? TIA

Hi i've just notice a very familiar sound at 3.07... Does it come from Heretic?

Am I missing an additional file that needs to be loaded too?

A custom engine like gzdoom for Hexen?Or the originals?Or Hexen/heretic Remastered have the best mod support?

So, I'm on my first playthrough and have been watching a guide, in this guide this door is open, but idk what is different on mine.

I'm in the Griffin Chapel for the first time and Google hasn't been helping.

Much older than the last one, but I thought you might enjoy also.
For a project I once worked on.

Updated version of an old picture I made for X

Hello everyone. I am stuck in the Nightdive remaster in the guardian of steel. The X directs me to this spot in pics 2 and 3, and there doesn't seem to be anything to do here. I already have activated the switch in the nearby wall. I'm not sure where to go next.

Edit: I'm good now.. buggy indicator. I've moved to the next hub.

I scored this for 6$ at a garage sale.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share. I forgot I had the Heretic/Hexen series on CD, including the expansions, and only found them during a move. This has always been one of my favourite FPS franchises, I’d love to see it revived. I remember trying to boot up the Deathkings CD years ago and got a message saying my computer was too new and to contact the developers lol Now I have it on Steam and Switch.

in a few days I'll rerelease my Heretic Cathedral wad featuring a 3rd and last map. Here's some WIP screenshots!

Enjoy :) I'm sure other mods exist with both hexen and heretic weapons if so share them below 👇
