Hexen , the sequel to Heretic , tells the story of three humans who have managed to escape from the Serpent Rider Korax's dimension. The other two Serpent Riders, Korax's companions, had previously slaughtered everyone in their world, but the three humans are now seeking vengeance against Korax.

The game is a fantasy FPS based on an enhanced DOOM engine, with innovations like vertical looking, flying, and the inventory system carried over from Heretic . Players can choose from three characters: Fighter, Cleric, and Mage, each with their own unique weapons and abilities. The game also features a level hub system, where players can access different levels through portals.

The hub system is a departure from the traditional linear level design found in previous FPS games. In Hexen , players can travel between connected levels, including those with puzzles that require back-and-forth movement. The game also features weather effects, jumping, and destructible objects, adding to its sense of immersion.

Hexen was released for the Sega Saturn in 1997 and includes scripted sequences created using a language called ACS, allowing for more complex puzzles and dramatic scenes. With its unique blend of gameplay mechanics and atmospheric sound design, Hexen remains a classic in the FPS genre.
