The Steam download version of the game is listed as Windows platform because the executables are modified to use a DOSBox variant (v 0.70) additionally the traditional setup.exe is missing. The game also includes scripted sequences created with a language called ACS, allowing for much more complex puzzles and dramatic scenes. Other innovations in Hexen include weather effects, jumping, earth-quakes, and destructible objects such as trees and vases. Many of the puzzles in Hexen require travel back and forth between different levels.

There are also portals between some of the 'spoke' levels. In Hexen's hub system each episode is still made up of interconnected levels, but most of the levels are connected to a single 'hub' level through portals. The hub system steps away from the traditional 'single levels stringed along into episodes' system which had been carried over into the FPS genre from sidescrollers and made popular by Wolfenstein 3D. Each one has four unique weapons and different levels of speed and armor. The characters are the Fighter, the Cleric, and the Mage. The new major changes this time around are three characters for the player to choose from and the level hub system. All of Heretic's innovations like vertical looking, flying, and the inventory system have been carried over. Like Heretic, Hexen is a fantasy game based on an enhanced DOOM engine. Three humans have managed to escape with their lives and now seek vengeance against the Serpent Rider Korax who remains in their world. While the Heretic was destroying D'Sparil, the other two Serpent Riders have come to your dimension and slaughtered everyone. The kingdoms have rebuilt themselves and his people prosper again, but all is not well as a new evil threatens Parthoris.Description Hexen is the sequel to Heretic. However, as he steps through a portal hoping to return home, he is instead cursed by D'Sparil and transported to the Outer Worlds - desolate and hellish realms existing outside our own.Д¬orvus spends an unknown period of time wandering these wastelands, fighting through droves of enemies, desparately trying to find a way home.Д«y the time of Heretic II, Corvus apparently finds a way back home. In the end, he triumphs - destroying D'Sparil and in turn ridding Parthoris of his armies. Corvus however, in a blind act of vengeance, sets out to destroy the Serpent Rider and avenge his people. As the armies of the seven kingdoms of Parthoris threaten to destroy everyone, the Elder Council extinguishes the seven ceremonial candles representing the seven nations - destroying the armies.Д'Sparil is enraged and opens up a rift to another world, where he brings forth legions of demons and begins a campaign of genocide against the Sidhe.ДЇew survive the attack - those who do go into hiding. In Heretic, Corvus' people, the Sidhe Elves, are labelled as heretics against the new regime of D'Sparil. He lacks the cloak he wore in the original game (probably torn to shreds after his journeys) and does not have any upper clothing. In Heretic II, Corvus has a genuine elven appearance - tall, slim, albeit still somewhat muscular. In the original game, Corvus appears as a thin, mysterious cloaked figure.
