Hunted: The Demon's Forge

The success of a game or failure often depends on small things. Otherwise a normal game can reach great heights by nailing the details, however, a handful of minor flaws can cause great ideas for plaice. Hunted: The Demon Forge is the last type of game: delivering conceptually sound, but clumsy. Consequently, this cooperative action game feels like a relic, despite its attempts to use modern elements of play popularized by Gears of War and co-opted a lot of games since. It's a shame that a game with such promise feels so unfinished. Imagine this scenario: you take your bow, and a friend grabs his club and shield. Overall, it cuts through strips of maniacal monsters search the most effective ways to deliver his imaginary realm of a growing threat. Hunted when it meets, which captures the essence of a lush adventure. However, locomotion failed, abundance of technical problems, and all kinds of fundamental flaws in the foot to hit.

The PC gamers will also receive a special problem to call their own: the game a little work online. And it is overwhelming issue of game to play in the second.

Despite its many weaknesses, Hunted: The Demon Forge is not without pleasure, and enjoys an excellent idea: combine the best parts of fantasy hack-and-slash adventure, and Gears-style cover fire to then add some loot. One player assumes the role of Caddoc, a specialist scrum-bald. The other takes over assets E'lara example, an archer with curves and not the desire of his shield from behind the swords, arrows, or leer of passersby. Overall, it moves through dungeons, burning towns and dungeons, cutting away the title, while the demons now and then cast a spell, grab the loot, and trade barbs over who killed the most hedgehogs in this last battle. Caddoc E'lara and are there for the money and they are heroes is not worth remembering after eight hours of hunting season just ended. However, they share a camaraderie that relaxes attractive if they are totally unexplored.

Pursued positive aspects of this hodgepodge of surveillance gameplay elements. The two characters in melee and ranged weapons take, but E'lara is best when shooting from a distance, while Caddoc wades into the fray. When you're armed with a bow, hunted like playing a shooting game in coverage, you crouch behind a low fence or push back against the wall, lean and fire. With sword or ax in hand, fold in a limited variety of wild grunts, rolling and blocking if necessary. Whether as a character, cast spells that work well together with your partner. E'lara Caddoc freezes and destroys enemies into pieces. Caddoc lifts monsters in the air and crashed to the ground while they E'lara full of arrows. Two brands of the action, the most varied abilities are magical for some fun battles. This diversity goes a long way to navigate Hunted what levels are linear, the triviality of its puzzles are rare, as there are few types of enemies.

If you have friends with another, the AI ​​takes over and does a respectable job, but a course. AI teammates are there to distract enemies and absorb a large amount of damage rather than pain flat. Rarely needed to revive medium difficulty, and, therefore, play on your own is easier to join a friend. And things are tough powerful co-op. Demons can not combo so on five attacks if they do not block the first, they have no choice but to strikes, which means total health spending to almost none. The limited number of health potions and the rate at which incompatible potions drop added to combat occasional frustrations develop. If you like the challenge and want to explore further, you can play with the design level Hunted, called the crucible.
