Hexen 64 manual

Deathkings contains three additional hubs set in the Realm of the Dead, in which the player must fight through and find their way home. The expansion contained 20 single player maps and an additional six deathmatch maps. There are no new weapons, characters or enemies, however the difficulty is spiked as you would expect with a mids FPS expansion.

Hexen , like Heretic before it includes a multiplayer over LAN for four players. It can be played cooperatively or through deathmatch. The Deathkings expansion pack was the first game at the time to allow eight players through Lan. Nowadays it can still be done, but not without some work. Zandronum is a source port with a focus on multiplayer support. Hamachi works well as a way to replicate LAN support through the Internet as well.

By the time of its release on console, Quake was already out and the FPS genre had taken a leap into a world that made the game seem that much more archaic. The PS1 and Saturn versions adds pre-rendered cutscenes to the beginning, end and between hub areas, that add significantly to the otherwise minimal storytelling. The N64 version is the best of the console ports. Developed by Software Creations, it drops the FMV and CD quality audio due to the limitations of the cartridge, but it manages to retain and match the frame rates and graphic quality of the PC release.

Unlike Doom 64 , there is no use of the hardware's capabilities to enhance the game's appearance beyond the PC version besides texture filtering. The graphics suffer from numerous accuracy and stability issues, with cracks between walls and in the floors and ceilings, and textures warp and shift as the player turns. Controls cannot be rebound and are not mapped in a particularly intuitive manner. Many of the PC game's resources were cut in order to fit on the cartridge.

The framerate is relatively poor and notoriously inconsistent, and there are numerous bugs. An entire page Controller Pak is required to save, and saving or loading a game can take a significant amount of time.

The game received a rating of 3. The Nintendo 64 port of Hexen is one of the only Doom engine games to receive extensive localization treatment for international releases.

The European version of the game, released on or around May 31, , includes full text and redubbed voices for Korax 's beginning-of- hub greetings in English, French, and German. The Hexen font has been altered to support diacritics for the latter two languages. As a glaring omission, however, the ACS scripts in this version of the game have not been altered to account for longer spoken lines in French or German, so many get cut off by the start of the next line.

The Japanese version of the game, released on December 18, , includes completely different fonts which allow for a large range of katakana, hiragana, and kanji characters, and voices are again redubbed into Japanese.
