Hero Hunters

Hero Hunters is an online TPP shooter with RPG features, with various game modes to cater to the tastes of fans of single and multiplayer. The game offers wide choice of varied characters and graphics of unusually high quality. It is the work Hothead Games studio (Killshot, Rivals at War: 2084) and has been released as a free-to-play title with microtransactions.

Game mechanics

Hero Hunters resembles Gears of Wars (due to the third-person perspective and the cover system) and the Borderlands series (as it also uses shooting system based on statistics – whether we kill an enemy or not is determined not only by aim, but also level and equipment).

Hothead Games’ title also borrows from Overwatch. There are many heroes to choose from, each with different statistics, equipment and special powers. Each of them has a specific role to fulfill (Frontline is a classic tank, Mid-line focuses on dealing damage quickly, Support heals friendly heroes etc.). Before a fight starts, we choose a few characters, between which we can later freely switch. More heroes are unlocked as we gather experience, which is also used to develop characters who participated in a mission.

Game modes

There are a few game modes available in Hero Hunters:

• single player campaign – players take part in a struggle against intimidating Kurtz in post-apocalyptic town;
• cooperation – focused on epic missions designed for more than one player, including battles with powerful bosses;
• Players vs. Player – skirmishes against other players;
• Gauntlet – a mode in which heroes capture points and defend them from overwhelming forces.

Technical aspects

Hero Hunters offers outstanding three-dimensional visuals when compared to typical mobile titles, resembling more games dedicated for stationary devices. Textures are sharp, while characters’ and environmental models are full of details. Lighting system and particle effects are also very appealing.
