Played from a third person perspective, Hunter immerses players in the nightmarish setting of the modern day Hunter. Denizens of the night disguised as everyday mortals co-existing with other society members plague this macabre world. Players thrust into this world soon learn that they have the ability to see these creatures for what they are and are compelled to destroy them in order to save humanity from the threat of eternal darkness. Players will assume the role of one of four Hunter characters, each imbued with supernatural abilities that become more diverse and powerful as players progress through the game. Hunters are also able to find and make use of Glyphs, glowing symbols on the ground, which enhance their ability to combat the undead. Throughout the game’s many gothic environments, including a prison execution chamber, a ghoulish cemetery, and a chilling train station, players will face down over 30 creature variants from bloodthirsty vampires to unstoppable legions of the walking dead. To help slayers battle their prey, Hunter features an arsenal of weapons including swords, shotguns, axes, and flamethrowers.
