Description
The world of Thyrion was continuously conquered by the demon brothers known as the Serpent Riders. After two of them were defeated, the oldest and most powerful of the three, Eidolon, is the only one that stands between slavery and liberation. A lone hero must first defeat his generals, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and finally bring the fight to Eidolon himself.
Hexen II is the third game in the Heretic and Hexen series. Like its predecessors, it is a medieval fantasy-themed first-person shooter. Similarly to
Hexen, the player can choose between different character classes (Paladin, Crusader, Assassin, and Necromancer; four as opposed to three in
Hexen), which use unique weapons and fighting styles. The player character travels to four stylistically distinct areas (medieval European, Mesoamerican, ancient Egyptian, and Greco-Roman), each with its own main hub and levels. Switch-manipulating and item-procuring puzzles must be sometimes solved in order to advance.
A new feature in the game compared to its predecessors are its role-playing elements. Each character has attributes which increase when the character gains experience by defeating monsters. Characters' hit points and mana can also be extended gradually and permanently.

Trivia
The different weapons have two kinds of fire mode, not altered by a secondary fire button, but by activating a "Tome of Power". (The Assassin's Staff of Set and Crusader's Lightbringer are the greatest weapons when used in primary fire mode, but its secondary fire mode is plain useless.)
