Hunted: The Demon’s Forge Preview

Games Xtreme takes a look at InXile’s upcoming Hunted: The Demon’s Forge, a short writeup in which they explain how the title might well scratch our hack ‘n slash itch.

Developer inExile has been quick to point out that the game isn’t just about cutting through swathes of bad guys; there are puzzles and fiendish dungeon traps to deal with as well as a twisting-turning story that has many hidden layers. The clues are scattered throughout the narrative but things may not be as they first appear. What really sets Hunted apart from the rest of the fantasy genre is that it takes a dark approach, as well as mixing in some dark humour and black comedy to the mix.

It is also built for cooperative play with split-screen and online (yes it has System Link too) coop for 2 players. You can also play it single player with your AI buddy taking up the slack, but face it, it’s going to be a blast to play alongside a friend and use the characters unique skills to put serious amounts of hurt on the hordes of enemies that stand between you and your ultimate goal.
