is the sequel to the popular 3D first-person shooter, in which you fight your way to the depths of evil and destroy the last of the three Serpent Riders.
With the remains of the first two Serpent Rider's armies added to his already powerful forces, the third Serpent Rider, Eidolon, stalked forth into the realm of mankind. No mercy was shown by this ravenous onslaught, and soon, the tribes of humanity fell to the Dark Generals of the Serpent Rider. For years, you have lived in hiding, biding your time, bitterly planning the vengeance that you lust for. Death, pestilence, war, famine ... you will face them all on your quest to destroy Eidolon and all that he covets.
Hexen II lets you choose to play one of four characters: the Necromancer, master of blackest magic; the Assassin, taker of lives; the Crusader, a man of magic and skill; and the Paladin, with the power of his ancient gods. Each character class has its own set of different spells, different attack rates, and special abilities that are gained and improved throughout the game using an experience system.
As you clinch your bootstraps and ready your weapons, you can only hope and wonder what lies in the depths of the recently besieged castle that stands before you. All of humanity rests on the edge of your blade.
Hexen II uses an enhanced version of the groundbreaking Quake engine.
