Hunter: The Reckoning is based on a Tabletop RPG series called World of Darkness, which has had other video game adaptations based on Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. The video game of Hunter: The Reckoning is not an RPG, though, and is instead a Gauntlet-style twin stick shooter/melee game where you and three friends cut your way through hundreds of hundreds of undead monsters.
The game is really not meant to be played solo, and you’ll spend far too long just shooting aimlessly into hordes of enemies as it takes far too long to deal with them. In a way to make it easier to pick up and play, the gameplay is extremely simple and if you’ve played the first level, you’re not going to see much else throughout the game. One particularly frustrating aspect are the keys, you don’t explore to find them, but rather just kill countless enemies until one appears.
But the simplicity of it does make it work better for a casual get together to have a bit of a laugh while not paying that much attention to the game, but even by those standards, this seems too simple. Gauntlet: Dark Legacy has a lot more going on at once and just has more charm to it.
