I always wanted to coop this with my brothers, but by the time we all had PC's that could run it. Everyone had moved on from Mageslayer. It's time to bring it back!

I don't remember much but for sure it was quite fun to play after bloody hell Doom and Quake. When I was a child I didn't know how popular these game are but I played them all, all 3 of them were equally good for me.

Better than Gauntlet Slayer Edition. The Hexen music and sounds gives it atmosphere and the warping wall textures gives it charm. The story is kill everything that moves. Best story ever told.

I feel like this is a no-brainer. This is the fantasy equivalent of Take No Prisoners, which already is on GOG, and both were part of my first experiences with fun, gory action as a kid. This is the definition of a good old game to me, and very much essential. I was actually surprised that it wasn't here already! Could then also easily be on offer as a two-pack as well, since they're already sibiling games. Classic, classic, classic.
I remember playing this game with my brother in the 90s even before i start playing well, i was asking him to play with a certain character and i would watch,since i was too young to progress far enough.

I had this in a physical CD. It's a wonderful long adventure that I'm still missing to complete with some characters. I haven't seen another dungeon crawling game with such good gameplay. You can choose between characters having different skills, which suits different playing styles.
