I about shit myself when I saw this as a mod campaign! Couldn't be happier😊

@Tussell, have you thought about porting this mod to the newer engine of HW2/HW-AE with the crispier graphics and the classes that play more realistically?

(From those two I would prefer HW2 as it has more realistic combat and additionally fog of war, which suits Hexen better imo)

I really loved this mod. I'm a huge fan of the game Hexen and this is such a joy to play :).

@natopotter - The mod is called "Hexen: Beyond Hammerwatch" because it is a recreation of the 1995 game "Hexen: Beyond Heretic".

I can't recommend it. The maps are way too big, the monster sprites are generic old Nintendo, likely reused from other games, nothing similar to the original Hammerwatch. The soundtrack must also have originated from other games.

In re: the wolf chapel secret bug: I too have been nailed with this one. Sadly I don't know if there is a fix, or if it will ever be fixed.

I found the axe key, but I don`t know where to go next......

I'm in love with this campaign! However I have run into a bug that I think will keep me from unlocking the final secret. I seem to have encountered a bug in the arena room of the Wolf Chapel. I'm not sure how to upload a screenshot or I would. When you enter the (secrret) arena room, the pillars come up behind you and close the room off. however, i died before being able to turn the knob or whatever, and when i return to the arena room, the gate is still closed and I cannot enter. Perhaps because there are still enemies there? Anyway, if there's anything I can do to get past this, I'd hate for all my effort in unlocking previous secrets to be dashed due to this bug. Can I perhaps edit the save file or the level somehow? or am I doing soemthing wrong and there's some other way to reopen the gate?

Small but important point, the intro calls the world Hexen, but that's not its name. It's correct name is Cronos.

Any way you could post a direct download link? Subscribing doesn't seem to add custom maps for me.
