As you can imagine, the main objective of the game is to unlock these areas by solving puzzles, fighting mummies and negotiating through deadly traps. The levels in this mod are a series of interconnected chambers where certain areas are inaccessible behind magically sealed doors. There are only a couple of pick-up in this mod and they come in the form of colored vials-the red vial adds to your defense, while the blue vial restores lost health. This weapon causes high amount of damage and hence, it is perfect quickly thinning a group of mummies.
In such a situation, pushing the right mouse button conjures up a magical Morningstar that floats in mid-air.
While combat is not all that challenging, there are instances when you will find yourself surrounded by your embalmed foes. Speaking of which, enemies in Curse are mummies with variation in attack type (melee, archers, etc). This ability can be used to clear obstacles, push hard to reach switches and it can even be used in combat to hurl objects at your enemies. With the left click of the mouse, the player’s hand sends out a burst of telekinetic force that can push objects with great force. As a result, weapons in the game are kept at a bare minimum of two. This mod likes to keep action to a minimum, while emphasizing on exploration, puzzles and platforming. While Hexen has a gothic theme reminiscent of D&D games, game-play in Curse takes place inside an Egyptian pyramid. However, as you delve further into this game world, the similarities start to fade away. In an effort to keep things fresh and diverse, we thought of featuring a total conversion for HL2 called Curse: Episode 1.Ĭurse: Episode 1 (Hell Awaits) Īs we fired up Curse: EP1, the first thing it reminded us of was Raven Software’s classic Hexen: Beyond Heretic-your hands glowing with a blue aura that fires magic at a press of a button. Last week, we introduced you to Minerva Metastasis- a well crafted single player mod based in the Half Life 2 universe. This is the second part of a series of articles that will bring to your attention some noteworthy mods for Half Life 2.
