Hexbound

About Hexbound

Hexbound is a free retro first-person shooter you can play in your browser, with run-and-gun combat, magic, and upgrades. You cross large levels full of demons, flying enemies, robots, and bosses. Along the way you collect resources, look for secrets, and fight toward the exit of each stage.

You can play Hexbound online without downloading anything. This retro FPS uses pixel-art graphics and smooth animation, and each new level brings tougher enemies. Your survival depends on how well you move, which weapon you pick, and how you spend your upgrade points.

Hexbound rewards players who stay alert. Monsters can appear suddenly and attack from several directions, so standing still is risky, and so is rushing ahead blindly.

Tips to get better at Hexbound

Keep moving and strafe from side to side. Enemies can surround you quickly if you stand still.
Look around often and note escape routes before you start a fight, because monsters can show up without warning.
Don't stick with one gun for the whole level. Switch weapons to suit the enemy, and save magic for moments when it gives you a clear edge.
Treat health and other resources as limited. Your goal is to reach the exit alive, not to win every fight at any cost.
Choose upgrades that fit how you play, whether you favor close fights or keeping your distance, rather than picking at random.
