Hexplore PC FAQs, walkthroughs, and guides

Featuring a three-quarters isometric view and 3D-looking two-dimensional maps (a la Diablo), the character graphics are improved voxels. Players (there can be up to four over a network or the Internet) control typical fantasy RPG characters your basic fighter, magic-user, thief, or archer using a simple point and click interface. While most functions have keyboard equivalents, the game is primarily mouse-driven. Movement and combat resemble Warcraft II, with more options for players interested in a more "strategic" game. Players can assign different combat modes to their characters, so that archers and mages stand back while brawlers close in for the kill. The final game will have 10 levels and some 200 different maps, each of substantial size; terrain sets vary from deserts to forests to traditional dungeons. The maps can all be rotated using the right mouse button. Characters can advance through up to 10 levels of experience, and there will be different types and levels of weapons as well. Hexplore may be played either on or off-line. However, the on-line version is boosted by the possibility
for network gameplay.
