The gameplay is extremely simple, smash em up style even with your bow its very simple stuff and feels like a hack and slash game.
I love that you can switch from bow to sword on demand.
Very fun game so far, loving it. Im glad i waited for it to be on sale for under $20 tho. =p
Pros
+ Grim, dark and adult fantasy setting.
+ Hidden areas are fun to discover and explore.
+ Excellently detailed character and creature models.
+ Humorous and witty banter between Caddoc, E'lara and the NPCs.
+ Spell and action particle effects are clean and look impressive.
+ Rez vials are a convenient way to revive companions. Much easier than kneeling over them for a set amount of time while getting beat on by enemies.
+ Dungeons have dark and eerie feel to them.
+ Blood splatter from combat is a nice touch on characters. Shields are also destructible.
+ Very non-stereotypical main characters. E'lara is shoot first ask questions later elf who is always more than happy to rush into battle. Caddoc is a calculating and strategic mercenary warrior.
+ Solid voice acting talent includes Lucy Lawless, Laura Bailey and Robin Atkin Downes.
+ Outstanding soundtrack by Kevin Reipl (Gears of War, Unreal Tournament, Resistance - Burning Skies).
+ Weapons and armor have excellent detailing and design. Many weapons also have magical effects accompanied with simple particle effects.
+ Can see many items you're carrying such as weapons, potions and rez vials.
+ Gruesome looking creatures.
+ A few good scares in dungeons.
Cons <Contains SPOILERS>
- Impossible to tell which items you can break and which ones you can't.
- Caddoc's crossbow is slow and quite lackluster.
- Lots of invisible barriers and places where items can fall behind which you can't reach.
- Careful fighting next to "sleg" pots, it's extremely easy to drink them altering the ending of the game.
- Checkpoint save system which can be really poorly spaced in some areas.
- Melee combat against enemies is often extremely dangerous even for Caddoc.
- Cut-scenes can often cause you to lose loot that you didn't pick up in battle.
- Many areas are one-way only with no option of returning. If you missed something, too bad!
- Some really ugly and dated environmental textures.
- Health and Mana potions can disappear even though they still show on the ground.
- Some musical glitches where it gets caught in a loop so you can't tell when combat is over.
- Finishing maneuvers while neat, lock you into the animation but not your partner which ends up looking odd.
- Riddle heads tend to get a bit repetitive.
- Some graphics clipping issues.
- Limited number of enemy types.
- No jump or crouch.
- Clumsy cover system.
- No inventory option.
- Linear gameplay.
- Some jerky character movement.
"Hunted: The Demon's Forge" is exactly the type of fantasy action game that I look for. Its dark story, grim setting, brutal creatures and unique characters intrigued me from the very beginning. The teasers hinted at Gears of War style gameplay but in a fantasy setting after which I was sold. Unfortunately, "Hunted: The Demon's Forge" just doesn't live up to such lofty expectations. The game felt unfinished and largely subpar in so many areas. The game's faults really show with its broken cover system, linear gameplay, dated graphics, clumsy character/enemy combat, invisible barriers and overall bugs. Despite these issues there are some bright spots in the game as well. The character and enemy models look great, the combat is generally fun, the voice acting and soundtrack are quite well done and the overall setting of the game has a very dark and gritty feel to it. That being said it's still not enough to push this game beyond the average or cause you to overlook its many flaws. I played co-op with a friend (I played Caddoc, he played E'lara and it took roughly 10-12 hours to complete) and while we enjoyed it, we both agreed to be glad when it was finished.
