RAT HUNTER
Genre First Person Shooter
Description
Rat Hunter is a traditional first-person shooter set in a hi-tech environment. It does not push
the envelope or bring something fresh to the genre, since we feel that there is little place for
innovation in today's action games market. It is, however, solid, polished and smart. Developers
lay the emphasis on original ideas in visualization and gameplay design. The action takes place on
a remote planet, which is located in a G-class star system. Its gravity, atmosphere and other conditions
are pretty much the same as on Earth. The planet is rich in minerals, and the low depth of occurrence
allows for strip mining.
The main character of the game is a freelance reporter who started an independent investigation
in order to expose the truth behind the disappearances of workers of a corporate facility. The
installation, located on a remote planet, is a primary research site for ROOM, a highly potent
"miracle drug". During the game, players will have the chance to use various mechanisms (turrets,
cranes) and drives vehicles such as bikes and buggies.
Rat Hunter features traditional, by-the-book gameplay, which does not wander into the realm
of tactical shooters. Players will have to overcome different obstacles and solve various puzzles
in order to get to the next level. They will also get to shoot monsters, but there is no goal
such as "Kill everyone"; the adversaries are just a device to maintain the tension and further
the story. The advanced physics engine used in the game allows to create a highly interactive environment.
