## About Heretic + Hexen

Heretic + Hexen revives two landmark 90s shooters that blend first-person action with fantasy RPG elements. Players navigate interconnected hub areas using Metroidvania-style backtracking, solving environmental puzzles and mastering dungeon-crawling encounters along the way. Hexen introduces three distinct classes, each offering unique abilities that players describe as adding satisfying depth to the experience. The remastered soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult enhances the atmospheric dark fantasy setting, while modern multiplayer support enables both local and online co-op play. Released in 2025 at $14.99, the duology has earned 95% positive reviews from over 1,200 Steam users. Challenging difficulty and checkpoint-based progression define these medium-length adventures, verified for play on Steam Deck.
