Hexcity for Hexen

About This File

Hexcity is a modern, medieval walled city. If you get past the gate, you can go to the theatre or the art gallery. Enjoy the restaurant, which is supplied by the butcher shop next door, which is supplied by the graveyard next door.The city has been conquered by fiends and demons who are eating the previous inhabitants. You may plunder the shops, rob the bank, go to the library, disrupt a church service, fall into the sewer, go to jail...and more. There's a whole city to explore.

Very visually-appealing and fun to explore level, with good balance. It creates a good sense of scale to really feel like a walled city, and uses some neat tricks like holes in the road that silently teleport you to the sewers. It takes about half an hour to explore every nook & cranny. However, there's pretty much zero sense of progression or purpose to anything you can do - you can simply walk straight to the exit in a minute or two if you know where it is. Every building and area besides the path to the exit is optional, and there is no puzzle-solving beyond assembling the quietus. However, in my playthrough the very last thing I found was the final fourth weapon piece - after killing every enemy in the level! So definitely don't expect a linear or puzzle-heavy experience, because it's all about exploration for the sake of it.

dylux: Same as Wolfen's comments. But not enough mana.

Strange level. The architecture is fantastic, but it's completely open ended, and in fact it's possible to exit the level without really exploring any of the city. Great for people that like non-linear levels.

Wolfen: Much better than I expected, I think this was probably the first GOOD city made for Hexen.

Experienced LOTS of "segmentation errors" on this one. Anyone knows what is causing it?

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
