Game overview
Hunt: Showdown 1896 provides access to the tactical first-person bounty hunting shooter set in a corrupted Victorian-era setting. Players take on the role of mercenary hunters competing to track down supernatural monsters, claim bounties, and extract while surviving encounters with environmental threats and opposing players.
Gameplay
Matches combine competitive player-versus-player combat with cooperative player-versus-environment encounters. Gameplay emphasizes sound design, weapon mechanics, and strategic decision-making.
Core mechanics include:
- Tracking targets across large maps using Dark Sight to locate clue markers and boss arenas.
- Engaging hostile creatures and rival hunter squads using period-appropriate firearms, melee weapons, and consumable equipment.
- Managing noise levels, as actions such as running, disturbing wildlife, or stepping on debris reveal positions to nearby players.
- Securing bounty tokens from defeated bosses and reaching designated extraction points before time expires.
- Permadeath mechanics where defeated hunters lose non-persisted equipment and traits.
