The Hex

Mechanics

In The Hex each protagonist received his own chapter of the story, in which the gameplay is very different from the others. The Spacemarine, taken out of the shoot'em ups, travels through stages full of enemies, The Sorceress wanders through a fantasy world inhabited by creatures representing different races, The Platformer explores locations with multiple traps jumping across platforms, while The Fighter confronts adversaries using his own fists. The list closes with The Apocalypse Warrior inspired by the heroes of postapocalyptic stories. The last chapter features The First Person Perspective, and players control a character who instead of a face has a purple question mark.

Technical aspects

The Hex features simple 2D visuals that look as if they were drawn in Paint. During their adventures, players are accompanied by an atmospheric soundtrack.
