Hunted: The Demon's Forge

[Kyo]

Came across this on Joystiq and someone posted an article from eurogamer I pasted below.

This is a co-op dungeon crawler RPG, being developed by ex interplay developers and published by bethesda. Reading through the preview, it sounds alot like champions of norrath and baldur's gate on the PS2 and an action RPG. Sounds really interesting. Game is releasing this year.

Oh boy, Army of Two with bows and swords.....I think I'll skip it.

Im not quite sure how just from that article you gathered that assumption, nothing I read gave me he army of two with bows and swords vibe.

Co-op dungeon crawlers over the years have worked out rather well and if you never tried champions of norrath on the PS2, you really missed out.

[Arnwulf]

Yeah, but they go about saying that you have to use each other, and cover will be a big part of it, then say that they're trying to create something new by copying Gears of War. I don't know, there's just something about this game that just screams at me to stay away lol.

Epic necro.... I thought this game was interesting. Guess I'm the only one. New dungeon editor looks like a great addition. MMM anyone?

[Atreides]

might be neat, but honestly if this game isn't bad I'll be surprised

[Kyo]

I really think this will be a good game, what I played at E3 last year was fun, the problem this game will see is it being too short. The team working on this game have made some of the best dungeon crawlers last generation so I have faith in them.

Playing it at Pax seemed like fun. Mostly just looking forward to it to have a co-op game to play through with friend.

Been waiting on this game since I first heard about it sometime last year, but I'm not that familiar with anything they have done (Bethesda is only publishing it right?). I really want this game to be good, but I fear it's going to be a steaming pile since I've been waiting for it for so long. A co-op dungeon crawler is something I've always wanted to get my hands on, but I never knew of any that existed; apparently I was missing out.

bump since this game is coming soon

Im torn as hell, I want the griffin pack because the bow looks cool but the assassin pack comes on steam and well everything is better with steam
halp me internets

[Tyrath]

I'd pick an extra level over extra weapon/armors. I'm gonna get the amazon one for the other level. I really wanted the assassin one instead but theres no walmarts near me and Im getting it for ps3 so no steam.

Yeah, i saw this game street dated for next tuesday. I know 0 about it and the only thing that makes it seem good is split screen co-op. Time to hit up youtube for some gameplay trailers.

Could someone who is playing this game on PC give their initial impressions? The reviews as far as description sound pretty cool, but the trailer wasn't very spectacular looking, so I'll decide whether to but it based on reviews...

I'm getting a brobox copy today.

melee combat wise Im still not used to the game, it looks fantastic however, the voiceover work is great, the character models are some of the best Ive seen. the archery however is where the game shines, very gears of warish but I feel like I have more control in aiming. I broke down and bought it an hour before release, played about an hour before I went to sleep for work but I wanted to go back and play more.
I couldnt find any torrents of the game to check it out but Im really surprised they didnt do a demo, the opening tutorial is most def the perfect length to train you on the game and would do fantastic as a demo.

[Cyn]

Sweet, I'll probably pick it up then. Was worried about the graphics, seems like a lot of the games that come out on consoles also have problems with textures and models...

[Kyo]

If you don't have someone to play with I couldn't recommend this at all, I thought playing as Caddoc was very slow, playing as Eliara however was fun and the archery is fantastic. The extra crucible feature seems like a nice addition, basically a dungeon builder but didnt mess with it much. This game has a good amount of collectibles.

[Purrrfect]

Is it co-op online or co-op in your living room?

[TacoTaru]

What's with the lack of reviews for this game? I was hoping to read some reviews yesterday or today to see get a feel for it and see if I should be picking it up, and I can't find a single review for it <_<

[izembo]

not all games ship reviewers early copies, they might have just gotten the game yesterday as well
