great game with some glitches but nothing to keep you from playing the game. the ai responds well, the upgrades are simple, the secrets are fun to find, and overall this game is great. at least 7.5 - 8 /10.

Okay, so there are nothing but trashy reviews out there for this game. This game is hands down an excellent game. I am about 3 hours in and I can't stop thinking about the next time I can pick this up again and play! If only I didn't have work today!

Dungeon crawls have been around for about as long as computers. Anyone remember Rogue? (get a copy compliments of GiN at the link) It might have been all ASCII text, but it was a dungeon craw nonetheless. The point is that hack and slash adventures have been with us for a long time.

We've been keeping an eye on Hunted: The Demon's Forge for quite some time now. Seduced by promises of a fantastic co-op adventure wrapped in a fantasy skin, every trailer has been devoured like a hungry Wargar, but now the game is here can it live up to expectations?

Solid story; Fun to play; Competent AI for the most part; Amusing protagonists; Level variety; Good cover mechanics

Glitches; Poor graphics; Bad running mechanic; Lack of drop in/out co-op; Crucible mode could have been much more

Down, Down, Down

inXile Entertainment had a clear vision with what it wanted to do with Hunted: The Demon's Forge. That vision came up short due to clunky controls, linear gameplay and a very frustrating single player experience.

It's a bit unfair to assume that Hunted: The Demon's Forge is an RPG based purely on its aesthetic, but it's hard not to. I was about an hour in before it hit me: I'm not playing an RPG; I'm playing an action game.

Cooperative play is dynamic and enjoyable

Looks like a dated RPG; Tedious combat

A cover-based, hack-and-slash fantasy epic. Seriously it doesn't even make sense, but for some reason it works. Hunted: The Demon's Forge is not going to win over any gamers with its graphics, gameplay or even its story; however, as a mindless weekend hack-and-slash, it's rather enjoyable.

Classic RPG elements that carry over to both game types; Auto-aim makes bow and arrow combat sleek and sexy; A personalized dungeon creator

Massively steep learning curve; Repetitive hacking and slashing; Thick English accents are almost impossible to understand

This middling co-operative effort from Bethesda never quite rises above its generic and repetitive gameplay.

Has co-operative gameplay; wide variety of items and enemies; Gears-of-War style gameplay will appeal to fans of that style of gameplay; CONS: Poorly written across the board; local co-op is a disaster; no inventory with which to store items; repetitive encounters and challenges
