Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Jul 31 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders
Three brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, used their powerful magic to possess and corrupt the seven kings of the realm, plunging it into war and chaos. But a race of elves known as the Sidhe resisted and were branded heretics. On the brink of losing the war, the Sidhe elders sacrificed themselves and the elven capital city to destroy the seven kings and their armies. As one of the few surviving elves, you embark on a quest for vengeance against those who slaughtered your friends, family, and entire race.
Heretic: Faith Renewed [NEW]
Years after the planes were cleansed of D'Sparil's wretched influence, a wandering warrior in search of home arrives at a foreign land to discover the blighted stains of that old time religion seeping through the cracks of society once more. In the fortified city, zealous acolytes stand high atop a decadent cathedral and listen to the lamentations echoing from the streets as non-believers are dragged away for 'correction.' The shadow of D'Sparil lingers after death, his absence attributed to apotheosis. Once revered, now worshipped, deserving of neither. An all-too-familiar scene, and one you simply cannot stomach. Taking up the mantle of Heretic once more, you stride into the city, staff in hand, to silence the echoes of your arch-nemesis.
Hexen: Beyond Heretic
While the Sidhe elf Corvus battled the evil forces of D'Sparil, the remaining two Serpent Riders were busy sowing the seeds of destruction in other dimensions. As a Warrior, Mage, or Cleric, you must fight the undead and brave elemental dungeons and decaying wilderness to defend your realm of Cronos from Korax, the second Serpent Rider.
Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel
After defeating the evil Korax, the second Serpent Rider, and discovering the Chaos Sphere, you have been transported to the Realm of the Dead. Now your only way home is blocked by hordes of undead and the Dark Citadel. Where Hexen ends, the true nightmare begins.
Hexen: Vestiges of Grandeur [NEW]
Korax lingers between life and death, his shredded corpse left behind with no semblance of life while he clings to a fresh, if fragile, rebirth. His grip on Cronos is once more released, yet the cycle continues, proving another force is at work: an invisible hand puppeteering both Korax and you, weaving a star-crossed destiny that will never die. And if that hand tugs the threads of fate again, what surprises are yet in store for you?
Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Some of Nightdive's best work (which is saying something). The QOL additions make all the difference, the new Hexen episode is the best in the series, and giving the cleric a shield and guard counter was brilliant. Bring the homies too; somehow it seems to have aged even better in co-op
Absolute Legend 10/10
Highly recommend this for the single player campaign. The new stages are great, and the new enemies are put to excellent use to keep the pressure on. There are some glaring flaws with the port, however, and some should have been quickly picked up by QA, like the crosshair being grossly misaligned. I've also heard reports of Co-op being broken, if this is what you're after, I'd recommend confirming if this is fixed before picking this up.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 5: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

After 20 years I managed to beat Heretic !!!!!!!! Hexen I couldnt pass the 1st level :DDDD
Great ports, the Andrew Hulshult remixes slap throughout, Heretic is great, Hexen sucks - a story as old as time
Yeah, this was fun 30 years ago.
Já kacíř (tuduc), jsem se dostal k této klasice poprvé až letos (2026)! A musím říct, že Heretic je fajn, mám rád klasickýho Dooma a tohle je v podstatě takovej fantasy Doom s inventářem a mouselookem, cool! Hexen je podobný co se týče hratelnosti, ale je zde několik rozdílů, můžete hrát za 3 různé classy, které si můžete v průběhu hry libovolně měnit (na určitých místech). Přibyla také možnost skákání, ale největší rozdíl vidím v tom, že hra nemá jednotlivé levely jak jsme z těchto oldschool her zvyklý, ale jakýsi hub, ze kterého člověk plynule přechází do vícero úrovní, kde třeba něco zmáčknete a pak musíte zpátky někam do háje, tohle dokáže být celkem otravný a zmatečný. Pokud hru vypnete a pak se do ní po pár dnech vrátíte nemáte naprosto tušení co dělat a kam jít. Jinak obě hry jsou dobrý, navíc obsahují i nové epizody, podobně jako třeba Doom, Duke nebo Shadow Warrior, což je super.
Great Old School game that doesn't seem to age, I still enjoy playing it even though its a couple of decades old.
Resumiendo: Heretic bien, Hexen mal. Café para muy cafeteros. Las dos campañas nuevas están guay (incluso la del Hexen) pero el Hexen original no hay quién se lo dispare, ni con las ayudas para encontrar las llaves. El Heretic, pues es un buen shooter oldschool y el rebalanceo en general me ha parecido correcto, aunque a veces la munición escasea.
DOOM but dark fantasy, love it. Wish they remade this just like DOOM 2016
