Really good hub, the atmosphere and level architecture is some of the best of the best and the epic music selection certainly helps, the Aeon mana is an interesting concept, albeit I didn't use it that much outside of my passive ability (which I couldn't figure out for the cleric). The clock puzzle was a pain without the new weapon, even with the boots of speed you have aprox. 4 seconds to make both bells ring at nearly the same time, so there's that. And as another reviewer pointed out, some puzzles are broken in the latest GZDoom, so better use ZDoom to ensure they work as intended. While I did enjoy encountering new monsters, their sprites are quite rough looking and almost out of place with the base HeXen monsters, and the final boss sucks, but hey, so did Korax in vanilla!

 

Overall, it's a great hub, but some aspects could've been better. Still, if you like HeXen and other HeXen mapsets, this is a must-play . 5/5 stars

Excellent adventure with a dark atmosphere, cool architecture, and fun gameplay. The level/puzzle design is well-done, with engaging puzzles across multiple maps and interesting spins on the traditional locales (eg. the fire level is a mountain on a sea of lava). The whole wolf theme was also unique and interesting. It was very helpful that completing everything necessary on a map resulted in the message "Map completed", preventing unnecessary backtracking. Unfortunately I didn't acquire enough aeon mana to unlock the aeon attack, but I did get enough to unlock the aeon passive (regenerating mana for the mage), and it was very useful. The new enemies & bosses look good, although they aren't perfect. There are a couple of oversights like how the wolves lack a death animation or the ettinwolves lack most noises. The best enemies were probably the statue bosses (who totally took me by surprise), as they were complete, fit best with Hexen's artstyle, and filled a unique role.

 

Unfortunately, the flame mask and ruined town puzzles do not work properly in newer versions of GZDoom, so you'll be forced to noclip to complete both of them if you start the game not in an older version. That isn't the author's fault though, so it's not a criticism.

Old -- and it shows -- but it has heart, and it shows that too.

This version doesn't work with the latest version of ZDoom (2.6.1 as of writing). Fortunately, there's a version which does http://www.prdarkfox .com/doomstuff/wolfe n.7z Also, this is a great wad. :)

Finally, something which makes the money I shelled out for Hexen all that time ago worthwhile.

With the one of the later versions of gzdoom (i'm using r404), it works perfectly up until you need the firemask. It won't be usable. You'll just have to noclip through the bars with a teleporter in the middle outside of that cave to continue. Everyting else works just great. -GuntherDW

Excellent usage of ZDoom features. Some of the sprites are a hair awkward and one of the songs is annnoying as all hell, but other than those two minor quibbles every kilobyte of this wad is pure win. 4/5 -deadnail

Great atmosphere, impressive job keeping the player from being lost. I only got lost about a quarter of the way through--after getting the Gear from the swamp area, I went to the town area, cleared out the temple, and couldn't figure out where to go next. I could tell that the alcove at the back of the temple was supposed to have a door, but I couldn't tell how to make it open.

this level set is downright amazing. the new enemies and animations blend in well which is what really sets it apart from the rest. the music is awesome and the puzzles are well done. what hits the spot are the boss fights. 5/5.

New weapons, new monsters, kickass stuff. Only real complaint is the boss fight- seemed like it was just thrown in there. Otherwise 5 stars.

Very nice! Even better replay value (thanks to Aeon powers)! Probably the best user-made Hexen hub yet. The only problem was that there was no death animation for one of the new monsters (the werewolf). But that was the only problem. Everything else was awesome. 5/5

Okay, but nowhere near as good as it's made out to be. The new monsters are all either recolors or have ugly sprites, the techno music tracks aren't fitting at all, and there's far too much "what did that damn switch do"/"where is that damn key/switch/whatever " (you know you've got problems when the secret level is easier to find than the standard way to progress).

      One of the classic megawads, and the successor to TNT Evilution. I've played this several times over the years, and its grown on me more with each play as my tastes mature.   Still has a bunch of maps that got me killed in 2024, after ive finished stuff like HR and AV, and plenty of maps are memorable. Only real downsides is some of the levels have little content, showing its age.

      One of the earliest Doom user maps and It shows. Despite the raw and empty design, the author take a good use of 3D space creating a small fortress surrounded by mountains, the level Is fun to play and not hard. A fancy escapade and a piece of modding history.

      Third and final released map of a WIP episode by David Rager, it's more long, complex and hard than the previous entries in the series. A well made map with pretty challenging parts with a mix of monster usage, envoirnmental hazards and some puzzle gameplay. Fun but pretty harsh.

      Two more misplaced DM maps without a exit like QUDOOM (that at least had a exit room, while not functional) that caught me by their file name and leave me for the bad experience in SP. Chicken is just a long bridge between a thundering abyss where cyberdemons wants to destroy you, meh. Gangstar is a more fun map sets in a big, abstract warehouse where a cyberdemon roam free trying to kill you, shotgunners and lost souls are here in this Hell corner adding more pain to the thing, enforced by semi-hidden mazes, my favorite.

      This is like the physical version of the "we have X at home" meme in DM map format for Quake E1M1. Very poorly made, broken exit and missing textures here and there but at least the level KINDA resembles the original source somehow.
