Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a game where a good amount of people will hate it and a good amount of people will like it. I am a guy who likes it, it is not just a Gears Of War fantasy re-hash , it is something much more rich and detailed than most Gears of Warclones. Sadly, it does have various problems like stiff animations and incredibly smart AI. While you may think AI should be smart, they can still be smart to a point where they swarm you from all directions and kill you within a few seconds.
The story follows E'lara and Caddoc, two mercenaries whose back-and-forth banter are more enjoyable than the story itself, which is what actually makes the game so special. The team at inExile said, "screw the story", and made a dungeon crawler worth playing for any Diablo fan or even a Gears fan. The story has the two mercs looking for an artifact, yet soon they stumble upon a woman who directs them towards a town under siege, and that's basically it.
The gameplay is exactly like you would think it is. The archery is exactly like playing Gears, and the sword fighting is great too, but the archery is where it's at, since that AI is dastardly. The AI is tremendously smart and I had various difficulties coping with the fact I died a lot in this game thanks to swarms of AI rushing towards me and dodging a lot of my attacks. The worst thing about Hunted in my mind is the inventory and by inventory I mean there is none. When I pick potions up I have to squint to see if I have them, and you can only hold one set of armor and one set of weapons only when you pick them up, so say goodbye to your pre-order stuff when you don't need them anymore.
The graphics in the beginning were great and the rest of the game's graphics were okay, not great, but not bad. They used recycled materials throughout which bothered me a good amount. The menus are not really menus, it's just options and quit, which is not bad by any means, but in options there were no subtitles, which every game by now should have. The crucible is a fun dungeon making mechanism in the game and it adds more value and keeps the game going well toan extent.
Hunted is an experience so odd,anyone should experience it. The developers created a truly unique game in Hunted, and is easily worth any gamer's time.
