Here's my short review of R-Comp's port of the Hexen engine to RISC OS. |
|||
Well, a stunning game that comes with Heretic, its prequel and Deathkings of the dark Citadel, an expansion pack for Hexen. |
|||
It costs £32.50, which is at the top of the price range for Acorn Games but it's well worth the money. |
|||
Hexen can be linked up to another Acorn or PC running Hexen, played in single player mode or can be played over the internet. |
|||
Playing Acorn Hexen over the net is not recommended by R-Comp Interactive, the publisher of this port. |
|||
A brilliant gem for hours of brutal fun but when it comes to lifespan, you should get a game such as Quake or Doom. |
|||
There are some mods and Wads available for Hexen but they are quite hard to find on the net. |
|||
Hexen is playable on an R7500+Lite, Mico or RiscPC Arm 710 or A7000+ but is rrecommended you play Hexen on an Omega, StrongARM RiscPC, Virtual RPC or Iyonix or A9 with Aemulor Pro. |
|||
If you want maximum speed and maximum sound then an Iyonix with Aemulor Pro is probably the best option. |
|||
The music is unlistenable on my A7000+ with 2X Speed CD-Rom, so I should upgrade to a better machine soon, a A9Home maybe? (When the sound is fixed!) |
|||
The graphics are certainly not the best around and could be improved a lot but that's what gives you a great atmosphere about the game. |
|||
The game can store up to six SavedGame files that you can load when you load Hexen, but you can always store some in a different place on your hard disc and drag them to the !Hexen.SavedGames directory whenever you want to play them. |
|||
A must buy for any enthusiastic RISC OS Gamer. |
|||
Great for Doom fans. |
|||
Lots of violence, not suitable for young children. |
|||
I give this game 91% |
