How to Decide
Hexen II Mission Pack: Portal of Praevus is known for delivering three fully realized levels, new playable characters and co‑op multiplayer for fans of classic fantasy shooters. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Hexen: Beyond Heretic leans on deep class variety with three distinct warrior, mage and cleric playstyles; Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds stands out with a built‑in level editor that lets players create and share custom maps.
When comparing alternatives, the key factors are: the pricing model (a modest one‑time $9.99 fee for the Hexen II pack versus $39.99–$49.99 for the others); the multiplayer implementation (co‑op LAN/online for up to four players in Portal of Praevus versus split‑screen or modem‑based play in Hexen: Beyond Heretic and network‑based matches in Magic Carpet 2); the breadth of character or class options (new spell‑casting characters in the Hexen pack compared with three fully separate classes in Beyond Heretic, while Magic Carpet 2 offers no character variety); and the presence of content‑creation tools (only Magic Carpet 2 provides a level editor for user‑generated maps).
All Alternatives
“Direct expansion of the same fantasy FPS series, sharing class‑based combat and puzzle‑heavy levels.”
