Our take on Deadhunt
The focus on repeated arena battles gives Deadhunt a direct arcade rhythm, but sacrifices the exploration, narrative progression, and environmental variety associated with broader shooter campaigns.
What is Deadhunt?
Battle zombies and skeletons in first-person arcade arenas built for prolonged encounters with large enemy groups.
The game offers four episodes totaling 40 missions, along with Survival and Greed modes. Combat includes three monster classes, 50 weapon types, seven weapon varieties, and grenades. Character progression comes from defeating monsters and gathering 10 runes plus 37 bonuses, such as slowdown, doubled damage, and nuclear attacks. Weapons, runes, and bonuses can also be collected from a distance. Enemies use 10 armor types, and a dedicated mechanic governs monster destruction. Players can select among four difficulty settings and hear 15 original music tracks. Deadhunt launched in 2005.
