Reception
Template:Video game reviews James V. Trunzo reviewed Hexx: Heresy of the Wizard in White Wolf Inphobia #51 (Jan., 1995), rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "Hexx has some fun ideas, especially in its use of characters and magic system. The game is enjoyable, but from a technology standpoint, it lags behind the pack."[2]
Scorpia for Computer Gaming World described it as "no more than the usual dungeon crawl, with some nice features and some annoying ones" and "fairly mediocre, and a little boring, in fact".[3]
Barry Brenesal for Electronic Entertainment called it "a solid, up-to-date hack-and-slash game that's tough to master but fun to play".[1]
