If a character dies all you need to do is move them to a resurrection stone which are located throughout each map. With so many monsters characters will quickly reach their maximum experience at the beginning of a level.

Each character can only advance once per level. Hexplore is set up as individual levels which consist of one map per level. Without each class you will not advance past level one. The party must consist of all four character classes. If a character is attacked they will automatically fight back so they might survive on their own. Monsters wander around the maps and during battles you need to control all of your characters with no break in the action. Using the mouse the view can be rotated in a complete circle at any time.

The only areas you can see are the ones that you have already traveled over. You are given an isometric view of the area. Trying to move four characters when monsters attack provides a rather high difficulty rating. The game never stops as battles occur in real-time while users must control four characters in the game's single-player mode. What makes it different than other games is the control of the characters. Hexplore is an interesting role-playing game.
