HUNGER Other Features & Info
- labelMultiplayer Modes
The core gameplay is a PvPvE extraction shooter where players can enter Expeditions solo, in duos, or in trios. Proximity VOIP is enabled. The central 'Chateau' serves as a multiplayer social hub for forming groups and interacting with NPCs.
- labelStory and Setting
The game is set in an alternate-history Napoleonic Europe (early 1800s) ravaged by war and a mysterious Bacterium that has transformed the population into monstrous 'Hunger'. Players control a 'Living' hero, a survivor in this grim, dark 'World After the End', embarking on expeditions to scavenge and survive.
- labelTop 3 Gameplay Mechanics
- 1. Permanent RPG Progression in an Extraction Shooter: The game's defining feature. Unlike many extraction shooters, character experience, level, and unlocked talents are permanent and are never wiped, even upon death, which only results in the loss of gear from that run. 2. Hybrid Combat: A unique blend of methodical, slow-firing firearms from the Napoleonic era (flintlock pistols, revolvers) and brutal, lethal melee combat with weapons like axes and swords. Sound is a critical factor, as firing a gun alerts everyone on the map. 3. Player-Driven Marketplace: An in-game auction house where players can trade crafted goods and items found on Expeditions, creating a deep, community-dependent economy.
