Hunted: The Demons Forge comes to life in a third-person dungeon crawl with the intensity and action of a modern-day shooter. |
For those that don't know inExile entertainment was founded back in 2003 by Brian Fargo. Name sound familiar? Well it should, this man is a Legend in the video game industry, working on such titles as The Bard's Tale®, Baldur's Gate®, Fallout® and Wasteland®. Fargo is overseeing the project, so I am very optimistic that players are in for an amazing adventure.

The dark ages have become corrupted. Heinous creatures have emerged from underground. Townsfolk across the land are disappearing. Upon the promise of their fortune in gold, mercenaries E’lara and Caddoc take on the daunting task of discovering where the innocent villagers have been taken. Their journey will lead them on a dark and twisted path where they will encounter death, slavery and sacrifice. Travel deep within the world of Kala Moor...and to the secrets of The Demon’s Forge. |
Players will take on the roles of two characters, E'lara the seductive Huntress, and Caddoc the smash and grab warrior. E'lara can also use swords and Caddoc has some ranged attacks, but not playing to the character's strengths, will make short order of your dynamic duo. Co-op play is the name of this game, players will work together to solve puzzles, and destroy any enemy in their path. The heavy handed teamwork functionality makes this game fun and challenging, need to smash something to progress, leave it up to Caddoc, have to hit a switch from 100 yards away, E'Lara is your girl. Hunted can be played by one player, with an AI controlled partner, but this game is built around Co-op play.
Bethesda is really pushing the Co-Op at a distance feature, where players can perform co-op kill moves, special attacks, and from anywhere on the screen heal each other. If you get tired of playing E'lara and want to play Caddoc, there are nodes throughout the game that players can switch on the fly.
Hunted: The Demons Forge is scheduled for the first quarter of 2011, and will be coming out on XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles and Games for Windows. I for one cannot wait to team up with one of my friends and tackle this game, swords and sorcery abound. I'm not sure how much fun it will be single player and working with an AI partner, but we will be bringing you all the news about this epic action title here at Aggrogamer. Check out the trailer below.
