Hexen: Beyond Heretic

Raven Software's 1995 follow-up to Heretic, with three hero classes and a world made of linked hubs.

The second Serpent Rider, Korax, has taken over the world of Cronos. A fighter, a cleric or a mage sets out to defeat him, travelling through a web of linked worlds full of puzzles.

The original is sold on Steam. The 2025 remaster of Heretic and Hexen is a separate release.
