I will try to explain the differents things between the 2, i noticed:ġ/ It's more "dark fantasy/mystic" style, i like it.Ģ/The ennemies are less complex than the ennemies in heretic (just try to hit you with a sword or others, or shoot fireballs.) but there can be a lot of ennemies.
Blackmarsh - Once all Horsemen have fallen, the player returns to Blackmarsh to confront Eidolon.Įach character in the game has a unique set of weapons.What do you think about those 2 games, what is your favorite between those 2 games?.
Septimus - A Greco-Roman-themed land controlled by War. Thysis - An Ancient Egyptian-themed land controlled by Pestilence. Mazaera - A Mezo-American-themed land controlled by Death. Blackmarsh - A Medieval European-themed land controlled by Famine. Whereas the Crusader and Paladin are more typical heroes looking to avenge their societies and eradicate Eidolon's evil, the Necromancer is a villain who sees Eidolon as competition, whereas the Assassin, the first playable female character in the series, is a robber looking for a bigger challenge to despoil.īefore fighting Eidolon, the chosen hero first needs to defeat his generals, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who each reside in a different part of the world: Whereas they represent each of the continents and societies of Thyrion similarly to the three characters in Hexen, they are also provided with their own motivations for pursuing Eidolon. The backstories of the four characters are also written out in greater and more varied detail. However, unlike Hexen, the characters in the game gain experience which enhances their skills and gives them special abilities.
The game has a Hub based design with your character having to return to a central hub after completing tasks and puzzles in the surrounding levels. There are four characters to choose from an Assassin, a Crusader, a Necromancer and a Paladin, each with different attributes, skill sets, advantages and disadvantages. Hexen II is similar in concept to its predecessor.
As the Necromancer, the Assassin, the Crusader, or the Paladin, you must defeat the dark generals and their Hell-spawned legions before you can face the Archfiend and attempt to end his ravenous onslaught. The last known Serpent Rider, Eidolon, lives. They are Death, Pestilence, Famine, and War. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse lurk in the shadows before you.
