Hunt: Showdown is Crytek’s newest creation. Currently in early access, it’s a first-person bounty hunting game that blends PVE with PVP in a match-based system whereby five teams try to hunt down a big enemy to collect its bounty. If one team collects the bounty, they are instantly a target for all other players. Due to this system, the game makes you go up against other players, AI enemies, and big, scary bosses all to collect yourself a sweet bounty.
What makes Hunt: Showdown even more exciting is its perma-death system: Your character and gear will be lost when you die. And even though the game doesn’t call itself one, it’s definitely a unique battle royale game (and being made with CryEngine, it’s also a really good-looking one). Hunt: Showdown really seems to be aiming for a unique and intense experience that you can’t find anywhere else.
Before you can start collecting all those bounties, you’ll need to know the controls.
