It's pretty common for games from the early 2000's to fall through the cracks, as they aren't quite modern, but not quite retro. #HunterTheReckoning most definitely falls into that category. Based off the pen and paper #RPG of the same name, Hunter takes us into the world of darkness where supernatural monsters are held at bay by select people given the powers to fight them. Here in the Hunter the Reckoning Retrospective, I plan on doing my best to get some more eyes on this incredibly underrated series.

    I saw my cousins and nephew play this as a child and it haunted me for years and I couldn't remember the name until I got help from Yahoo Answers. All I could remember, and this was the scene that scared me, was a girl in a church, her teddy bear turns into a demon monster and kills her and then you have to fight it. I played very child friendly games growing up so seeing such violence in a game just immediately turned me off from horror games at that point. Years later and I love horror, go figure. I also always thought it was a shooter game until now so thanks for that.

    I was a big Judge fanboy. What I love about the character when a person believing in creationism in a supernatural or cyberpunk setting. A warrior spirit that uses a piercing light to defeat monsters. I loved Judge and how he was not the kind of religious character that is over the top. He is a good character because he isn't a cynical rationalist that Avenger turned out to be. Normally a religious character are written to be corrupt and morally repulsive characters. But Judge is not called or criticised as naive for holding a holy foundation. I think something else is how Judge has the best default spell in the entire game. It can obliterate mobs and bosses while Avenger and Martyr have to self buff themselves for melee combat. Avenger and Martyr are risky because in melee fighting a mob and lack of stun animations means they can get torn apart for noobs. I think Martyr's spell should have an increased amount of hit stun because Avenger's flat damage buff is better, while Martyr could provide ultility. Judge had a general edge over the other Hunters for the early game. Once I got used to the combat system of Hunter. I grew to appreciate Avenger and Defender.

    also, for the record, the gamecube version was pretty much identical to xbox, but with the omission of a taunt button. also, in four player, this game gets exponentially harder. it seems there is a damage downscale effect that occurs when you add in other players. we never managed to beat this game with a full squad despite several attempts, but i could clear it solo with 10+ lives just about any time i tried.

    Hunter was one of my favorite games in the old X-Box! My favorite character was the Martyr. I loved just mowing down enemies with her dual pistols. Also, one time, my friends wanted to turn on friendly fire and fight each other. I just asked them, "Are you sure?" and they laughed. I then activated Retribution and stood still and slaughtered them both. They didn't want to try that again. Also, in Wayward, the second game for the PS2, the Edges that give you passive buffs (like speed or melee damage) could stack as long as you could use it again before the effect wore off. By myself, again as the Martyr, I could stack Demand up to 3 times before the first one wore off! Since her outfit and hair are blue in that game, I called her Sonic the Hunter, and she could really move!

    Like most tabletop games, this game was made for co-op. You can solo it, but it's brutal. I mained the Martyr, and was basically the team's sheep-dog and the unofficial tank in boss fights. I would run circles around the zombie hordes with my weak but rapid fire pistols constantly staggering the ones on the outside of the group. Circling them, I'd end up shoving them into a ball. My brother always played the Avenger, and he would just charge through the cluster swinging his axe. In a boss fight, I'd activate Retribution and stand in its face slashing with knives. That Edge makes you invincible for a short time, while reflecting damage you would have taken back at the enemies. The Defender was the strongest at a range, and the only healer. A friend of mine liked to play her during co-op. She made playthroughs so much easier. The Judge was second worst at everything, but had the ability to one-shot vampires, gargoyles, and large crowds of trash enemies. He was the only "blasty" spell caster. Super useful to have. Outside of boss fights, he put in a lot of work. During a boss fight, he was just sorta there, lol. He'd blow through his mana and then just have his crossbow to rely on, so I usually let whoever was playing him grab some of the nicer ammunition weapons. Whenever we came across stat upgrade runes, we'd double down on what our strengths were. Ranged damage for the Accuracy for the Defender, Strength for the Avenger, Conviction for the Judge, and Speed for the Martyr. So we could continue to do our jobs well. I beat it solo before as the Martyr, and it was so satisfying grabbing all the upgrades and actually having good damage added to her amazing fire rate, lol. One tip I think a lot of people don't realize to help with the melee combat: If you push the aiming control stick the same direction you're running and do a melee attack, you'll do a running attack. You won't stop moving, helping you avoid enemy attacks that could stagger you, and you do a quick one-two swipe. With the Avenger, you turn into a lawn mower as you charge through a room. This is a game where staying in motion definitely helps, like bullet hell games, so slashing as you keep running makes melee combat much more viable.

    I remember playing this with my brother and cousins in 4 player co-op. We never beat the game or got that far. We got to the point when we had to fight vampires and couldn't get past them because they were so tough to fight. We all eventually just kinda stopped playing because we couldn't beat the vampires and just kept dying. One day i continued playing by myself. Then I realized how OP the priest was against vampires because his crossbow could 1 shot them and instantly kill them. Wish I would have known that ahead of time lol.

    Replaying this right now! first time with my little brother, usually played with my older one. Yes, it's very fun and can be frustrating.. lol. I wish we could try 3 or 4 players again. Ughhhh so much fun! And it can be harder at some points because everyone can only heal once if you have 4 players at a heal spot- and everyone is running different directions and you can only be so far away from your party 😂 Loved this video ❤️ Everything was Spot.

    Took me a long ass time finding the title to this. Carpenter was my 1st Gamertag. Kept finding bandaged characters on more popular games. That voice was epic. I wanted my brother to actually play with me then but he wouldn't time his attacks, do them at the right angles and make sure the enemy was bundled into a group just right for maximum effect. Id get so pissed at him 😆 had one of the last feelings of 90s era darkness. Tales from the crypt, Spawn, Blade, Mortal Kombat, Alien, Maxx, wishmaster, scarey movies in general and then underworld, queen of the damed movie and this in my teens.

    Looking forward to the entire retrospective. Playing this on the Xbox One X at native 4K is pretty sweet...though I haven't had a chance to play any co-op with it on the X. I remember 4 player matches often getting crazy as with 4 playing it was pretty common for one of the party lagging behind to get pinched in the screen and having to yell at the rest of the players to come back so they could get un-pinched from the scenery to join back up with the rest of the party.
