While the graphics aren't always astounding - character close-ups during cut-scenes are downright hideous - the environments are vividly rendered and packed with detail.Įxploring the land of Gothicus is fun for the sake of curiosity, as much as it's necessary to drive the story forward. There's equal diversity in the environments - a suitably dank swamp, snow-swept mountainside, a red sand desert, haunted forests, and a sprawling castle.
Naturally, this involves a lot of butt-kicking, and through the course of the campaign you battle a variety of creatures including animated skeletons, humongous spiders, elemental jellies, and evil cultists. The cliche story of a kingdom that has fallen into darkness kicks off your quest to reclaim the throne and restore peace to the land. Rather than aiming for innovation or introducing revolutionary new ideas, Dungeon Hunter 2 delivers familiar fun.īut while it's undeniably at the top of the genre, a few missing features and a general lack of polish hold it back from greatness. Button-mashing - or screen-mashing, to be accurate - is usually a term of derision when it comes to games, but for hack 'n' slash adventure Dungeon Hunter 2 it's a badge of honour.Ī winning combination of button-mashing action and loot lust, few dungeon-crawling role-playing games are as entertaining as this.
