Hunter the reckoning pc download

Instead, the first 20 missions consist of hunting for various doodads or painstakingly acting as someone's bodyguard--more frustrating than fun. You'll likely turn in your hunter's license before ever arriving at the game's more adrenaline-pumpin' portions--the later stages are all about the kill. Sure, joining a friend in Co-op is a plus, but I still prefer Chaos Legion's monster mash.

This simple, repetitive slash-a-thon is good old-fashioned fun for a short time, especially with a partner. The controls and chaotic game-play smack vaguely of the arcade classic Smash TV. Offering five unique playable characters adds to the thrills--when you get tired of playing as some forgotten N. The developers cut a few corners on noncombat animations and ugly cut-scenes, but casual gamers should still give it a rental.

Hunter: The Reckoning ' Wayward represents the rarest of all types of video games. Rumor has it that the changes in Wayward were made in specific response to the feedback received about the first Hunter game for the Xbox. Still a multiplayer zombie shoot fest, Hunter is carving out a small sub genre that I think deserves some attention, if not the devotion of some newer, better titles. First, check out our review of the original Hunter game. It wasn't spectacular, but when a group of four friends were playing, it got to be pretty fun.

From there, we each chose a character. Think of this game as more of a gothic-type Gauntlet game. However, unlike Gauntlet, each character possesses what is called an edge weapon, a type of magic that each character is endowed with that allows them to unleash upon the denizens of the undead. As the characters become more powerful throughout the game, so to does the power of their edge weapon. This is in tune with the glyphs that are found scattered about the game's massive levels.

While some glyphs will heal characters, others provide valuable information and still others increase character attributes. Each character Avenger, Defender , Martyr and Judge has both a ranged weapon and a melee weapon. Some of the characters' ranged weapons are more powerful then others, ditto on the melee weapons.

Now, what sets this apart from your normal run-of-the-mill slaughter fest is that there are more powerful weapons to be found as the game goes on. The Hunters are drawn to the city and unite to battle the monsters and try to rescue whoever may be left in the decimated city. As they make their way through the city to the prison, they encounter a twisted, sentient phantom called simply The Carpenter, who offers jeers as well as advice to the group, not the least of which is that the executed criminal Nathaniel was a werewolf , the head of the prison, Warden Degenhardt is a vampire , and the prison physician , Dr.

Hadrian is a sadist who had been performing twisted experiments on the prisoners. One by one these enemies fall to the Hunters, but when Hadrian is killed, Carpenter reveals himself to be a mob hitman who was one of Hardian's experiments. Having been denied his only chance for vengeance, he goes mad and attacks the party. After he's subdued, Degenhardt's true form is revealed: a hideous tentacled beast. The Hunters have one final battle before the town of Ashcroft can at long last achieve some measure of peace.

Spencer "Deuce" Wyatt: A biker who, at the age of 14, murdered who he thought to be his mother's killer, Spencer fled Ashcroft to strike out on his own.

He returned a decade later as the head of a motorcycle gang calling himself Deuce. He learned that his mother's killer was not the man he'd thought, and went to the prison for a measure of vindication. Instead he witnessed the execution of Nathaniel Arkady, and the rest, of course, is history.

Deuce is the melee expert of the group, wielding a massive battle-axe and his starting edge, "Cleave," makes the massive weapon even more lethal. In case there's an enemy that's out of swinging distance, Deuce packs a lever-action rifle that sadly he doesn't bother to aim, so its damage is minimal.

Samantha Alexander: Growing up in a supportive family helped Samantha stay on the right side of the law when she was tormented for being a mixed-race child. This taunting only served to strengthen her resolve, and Samantha became a police officer , eventually rising the rank of detective.
