Story:Three brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, have used their powerful magic to possess seven kings of Parthoris into mindless puppets and corrupt their armies. The Sidhe elves resist the Serpent Riders' magic. The Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and waged war against them. The Sidhe are forced to take a drastic measure to sever the natural power of the kings destroying them and their armies, but at the cost of weakening the elves' power, giving the Serpent riders an advantage to slay the elders. While the Sidhe retreat, one elf, sets off on a quest of vengeance against the weakest of the three Serpent Riders, D'Sparil. He travels through the "City of the Damned", the ruined capital of the Sidhe, then past Hell's Maw and finally the Dome of D'Sparil.Show more

FYI, this is already on GOG, as part of the Heretic + Hexen Collection. If you aren't voting for this because you want it - for some reason - separately, then get it in the store.
I remember reading Hexen was a spiritual sequel to Heretic, then I got my hands of a shareware CD of Heretic and basically felt that it was like playing the Wizard but the feeling of the levels was very different. I finished that Shareware and was left hungry for more...
Ahh years went by and eventually I got my hands on it (I think I had already lost my Hexen CD during moving by then) and yup it kept that more Doom like playstyle.
I think this game is sadly underrated, and deserves more people modding and enjoying its unique ambiance.
This was the first FPS that populated my nightmares. I'd be going down the corridors, being chased by gargoyles and mummies while i conserved my bolts and hoped I wouldn't have to resort to the wand. Fun times.
Finding the gauntlets and then getting a tome of power to charge them up into that red lightning that restored health was such a rush as a kid. It may just be a doom clone but it was a well executed one for sure.
