This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

So three RPG classes walk into a bar... They don't order a drink, though, because they're spending too much time trying to find more friggin' switches!! Also they're fighting the N64 controls.

Development Map

Evidence of a development map remains in the game, however it will crash when trying to start the map.

Regional Differences

Hexen 64 is unique among Doom-engine games in that some actual effort went into its localization process.

Speech

Surprisingly, Software Creations actually went to the effort of redubbing Korax's threats in each language the game was released...but for some strange reason, only the Japanese level scripts were altered to let the longer lines play fully.
