Speaking of the famous CPRG studio inXile in the gaming industry, I think the first reaction of old players is the most famous series of "Wasteland" and "Legend of Ice City". However, in fact, their other old game also impressed me, which was the 3A masterpiece "Hunting: Demon Furnace" produced in 2011.

This is a very standard ARPG game. The story tells the dark fantasy journey of two mercenaries , namely, the human uncle who is estimated to be over forty years old, and an elf girl who looks like she is thirty years old, but this elf girl is actually more than twice the age of an uncle. I really can't guess the age of an elf based on her appearance. Since this work is a work from more than ten years ago, even low-end computers can run smoothly. Such an excellent game produced by a large manufacturer is simply a blessing for low-end players. This time, let’s talk about this classic unpopular old work.

First, let’s talk about the outline of the story. The protagonists of the game were originally just ordinary mercenaries, and were guided to a place for various reasons and found a mysterious stone, Death Stone and a witch (soul). The witch claims to be the daughter of the village chief in front of the village. He informed the player that the village chief was in trouble and hoped that we would go find the village chief. The witch could use his magic to help strengthen our strength and also get a high reward for helping the village chief solve the trouble. After arriving at the village, I found that the village was dead. After exploring it, I found that somehow the creatures living under the village ran to the surface to attack humans. After finding the village chief, the two were appointed by the village chief to rescue the village chief's daughter (that is, the body of a witch who had previously encountered the body). On the way to save the village chief's daughter, they found more and more destroyed human cities and enslaved humans from all over the country.

As the journey deepens, it appears that there is some conspiracy to unite the various inhuman races and manipulate them to attack humans with an unknown silver liquid. After the experience and adventures on the journey, the two discovered that the incident originated from the work of a conspirator hiding in the dark, and finally decided to embark on the road to save humanity and go straight forward and deep into the enemy's cave.

game is designed to have two people having fun together, which means that one player plays an old man and the other plays an elf girl. If it is a single player, you can freely choose which character to play at certain fixed points on the map. Players can choose characters according to their preferences and the difficulty of this level. The old man is basically a melee attacker and a tank responsible for the monsters. The old man's weapons include swords and hammers. Simply put, the damage with fast attack speed must not be high, and the damage with slow attack speed is usually very amazing. In addition, there is crossbow , but if the crossbow is not necessary, there is really no chance to use it. Old man, you should just go to the monster to protect the elf girl. Since the old man's positioning is a melee battle, the elf girl's positioning is naturally a ranged attacker. The elf girl is good at using bows and arrows, and bows and arrows are divided into three categories like the old man's melee weapons. The slow bow is slow but the fire speed is high but the damage is high, the fast attack is fast but the damage is small, while the medium bow is between the two.

This work also has a bunker design. Hiding behind the bunker in an environment of bullets and rains, waiting for opportunities is also one of the tactics to reduce damage. Of course, in a few necessary occasions, the elf girl still has to change into a light sword and rush forward, but if the old man pushes well, this usually won’t happen. This game also has the function of automatic aiming. If you are not hiding behind the cover, there is actually no need to enter the aiming mode. Just aim the bow at the enemy and shoot it continuously. Of course, be careful not to be bullied. There are no peerless magic weapons in the game. The old man's melee weapon will become less sharp as he fights, and the shield will explode due to long use. You must be careful whether the number of arrows is enough when using bows and arrows. In the game, due to the destruction of weapons, players need to replace their weapons a lot on the journey. This is the biggest benefit for playing the elves.

This work also has the so-called final blow setting. Press the corresponding button when the enemy is dying and you can enter the handsome killing special effect. But I personally think that practicality is not very high. When the handsome killing special effects are carried out, other enemies will often take the opportunity to approach. It is better to make up for the last sword and send him directly to the road. If you really want to talk about the special effects of the last blow, the special effects of the uncle are quite good, and there are often headshot scenes. In addition to their respective combat skills, the two can also learn magic attacks. (The two can learn the same type of magic.) Magic attacks are divided into three types, namely thunder, magic array, and fire. How to match the skills that are most suitable for their combat power depends on the player's own gameplay.

game emphasizes two-person cooperation, so there are naturally many occasions where two people need to cooperate, but the most important thing is the cooperation between the two on the battlefield. If the old man is so honest, the elf girl doesn't have to hide behind the cover and rush out and shoot wildly. If the elf girl's firepower can be effectively exerted, she can clear the enemy before the old man can't hide. Of course, the most important thing is the cooperation between the two in combat skills. For example, the uncle uses his skills to blow the enemy to the sky, and the elf girl can kill these living targets to the fullest. Or the elf girl uses ice arrows to freeze the enemies into popsicles one by one, and then the old man is responsible for smashing these popsicles one by one.

Even though there are not many vehicles in the game, there are still many scenes to play with powerful destructive vehicles. I just seemed to forget to mention the skills, so I would like to add to you here that in addition to the three magics, the old man also has his own unique three skills to learn, namely charge (crashing the enemy), whirlwind (blowing the enemy), and violent (increasing his own damage power), and the elf girl also has his own three skills to learn, namely ice arrow (freezing the enemy), rocket (explosion attack), and armor-breaking arrow (single high damage and destroying armor).

In addition to using skills and magic to strengthen the character, removing certain achievements can also increase the abilities of both of them. For example, after finding six hidden areas, you can equip two weapons, and if you die many times, you can put a few more resurrection potions on your body, etc. Facing some glowing corpses on the ground, players can use the Death Stone that can be obtained at the beginning of the game to peek into their secrets before death, and the game's worldview, plot evolution and even puzzle-solving tips are hidden in the memories of these corpses during their lifetime.

There are not many monsters appearing in the game. Except for a few weird spiders, most of the monsters are underground creatures that look a bit like orcs. But as the story progresses, other powerful enemies will appear one after another, and the Taurus, demons and even dragons will not miss this grand event. Let me mention it a little. If you find that there are many floating corpses next to the demon during the battle with the demon, you must first blow up these corpses to harm the demon's body. Simply put, this disgusting big guy is just a coward who uses the corpse as a shield. After you beat him to pieces, you can kill this disgusting guy. There are also many scenes in the game. As the game progresses, players can see scenes of different styles such as human villages, war-torn cities, jungles, etc., and even fantasy scenes that have not been discovered in the real world. But the picture in this work is actually not very outstanding, and the picture level is probably worse than the wizard 1 at that time, but in fact the whole style is very good, and the dark and fantasy atmosphere is also successfully conveyed. Unless you pay attention to it deliberately when playing, it will not make people feel that his picture is bad (from the perspective at that time). Simply put, it is the flaws in the details of his picture composition and atmosphere that are successfully concealed.

The plot of this game is the same as most action games. Although there are some memes, there are not many amazing things, and the proportion of puzzle solving is not high. Perhaps this is because it makes him not outstanding in the ratings of several well-known foreign websites.The advantage of this game is that the smoothness of the battle is very good, and the monster killing movements are very refreshing to play. It is easy to integrate into this dark and fantasy world. When you are tired of killing, you usually have several hours passed. If your computer configuration is poor and you just don't want to spend too much brain cells and spirit to play games, and feel the excitement of fighting and the pleasure of killing, then the old work "Hunting: Demon Furnace" will be a very good choice.
