Hexplore

Do not buy this game, it crashes after the intro video. Why even sell a game on steam if it doesn't work...

story is very good, this game should be remake again

An Action RPG made with voxels technology, which was great for its era because it allowed to fully rotate the camera with little hardware resources, and gave it a very unique aesthetic that is timeless! It has a strong combat element but what I liked the most are the exploration and puzzle elements, which are also equally important. You have four different characters in your party, each one of a different class and with lots of weapons and items, which give you endless possibilities to combine them creatively and find your best combo for each situation. The sound and music work is really spot on (the boss theme still sends chills through my spine). It has some gorgeous hand-drawn cutscenes between its levels. It can be a little challenging sometimes, but it's really worth the adventure and the ending will leave you with your mind totally blown!

Plays opening cinematic, crashes immediately after or if you hit a button to skip to the main menu.

really cool diabloesque game a little rough around the edges but def classic

Hexplore is a late-1990s action RPG that has found renewed life on Steam through its modern re-release by Ziggurat, preserving the original work of I Motion and Heliovisions Productions while making it accessible to contemporary audiences. Set in a dark medieval fantasy world, the game follows the looming threat of the sorcerer Garkham, who seeks to obtain the mysterious Book of Hexplore, an artifact said to reveal the path to the legendary Garden of Eden. From this classic fantasy premise unfolds a lengthy quest that blends real-time combat, party management, and large-scale exploration across an expansive world composed of hundreds of interconnected maps. While its foundations are rooted firmly in its era, the game remains a fascinating example of early 3D action-RPG design. At its heart, Hexplore emphasizes party-based gameplay. You begin with a single protagonist, MacBride, but quickly gain the ability to recruit additional companions, forming a team of up to four adventurers. Each character belongs to a distinct class archetype such as warrior, archer, or magician, and their differing strengths encourage tactical coordination rather than brute-force progression.
