The only thing I was able to find about this game is a review in one of the old Gamebyte Magazines for Dos that I have a collection of, Issue 21, together with the review supplied screenshots of Hexx that show a completely different context / control panel with the four party members than shown on the screenshots of the game here on Abandonia. The review is still of the version of Hexx made by Psygnosis though, must be an earlier version of the game...
If you press the F10 key, you will get that same control panel.

I encountered a bug in the game that made it impossible for me to finish.

Everytime I went up and down a level, the common keys on my keyrings would reset to 1. So I would have ten common keys in one inventory slot, and then when I went down a level, suddenly there would be only one key. Worst of all, the common keys disappeared from the shop, so I had nowhere to buy more.

I eventually ran out of common keys due to this bug, and I got stranded in the Tower of Grisslem, because there you need at least two common keys on you to progress. You can't go back to the Keep's shop until you finish the Tower, not that it would help because as I said, the shop stops stocking keys.

What an incredibly horrible bug to have in a commercially released game. Anyone know a way to fix it or a way around it? I suppose in the beginning of the game one should buy fifty keys and then just throw them on the floor for later, or else simply carry lots and lots of single keys with you. I'm too frustrated with this game to try. A pity, I was getting into this game and enjoying it. One should definitely turn the music off, though, and put on the radio or a cd instead.
