Well, there you are. As you can see, HEXEN is a bit darker than Heretic was with a broader multiplayer scope by including multiple character classes. The characters are larger and easier to see in multiplayer mode than they were in Heretic and the enemies are much, much cooler.

Remember Devil's Night, October 30th!
