While Hexplore is categorized as an action-RPG, it is as much an adventure game as anything else. Interaction with non-player characters (NPCs) is minimal and only happens when they are directly involved with quests. The quests themselves are fairly simplistic never do you encounter more than a single-stage quest, such as '˜find this item' or '˜kill this monster'. Control over the individual members of your party are minimal: you can choose different wizards, warriors and archers, but your four person party will always contain Mac Bride and one wizard, one warrior and one archer. Weapons are also class-specific, and cannot be swapped out between characters. Character development is quite minimal and choices are very few this is simply not the game to look at for deep weapon and character customization.
