Unleash 18th Century Hell in this dark fantasy tactical RPG on Steam
23.08.2023 - 19:57 / pcgamesn.com
Hexxen Hunters unleashes Hell upon 18th-Century Europe in an all-new tactical RPG on Steam. Bringing German tabletop game Hexxen 1733 to digital life, Hexxen Hunters delivers squad-based strategy from developer Ulisses Spiele Digital and indie publisher Hooded Horse that adopts the dark fantasy stylings and expedition structure of games like Darkest Dungeon alongside XCOM-style tactical combat. Assembling a party from a crew of eight unique hunters, you’ll have to survive and explore in a world overrun by evil.
Set 100 years after the very gates of Hell opened in the Black Forest in Germany, Hexxen Hunters puts you in charge of a crew of hardened hunters. Putting together a party of four from a roster of eight hunters, each of whom brings their own bespoke equipment and branching skill trees to customize their talents, you’ll head out to beat back the hordes of evil and alleviate the inevitability of the doomsday clock.
You’ll head back to your camp between adventures, with the ability to upgrade your tools and utilities to aid in your fight. That’ll be essential to patch up any incurred wounds, as well as gearing up with weapon upgrades and item crafting. You’ll also have the option to study monster types you’ve encountered and try to uncover their behaviors and weaknesses to help you out in future fights.
Much like Mutant Year Zero or even Baldur’s Gate 3, the exploration in Hexxen Hunters takes place in real-time but switches to turn-based combat once things kick off. There’s a focus placed on delivering ‘big turns’ where you unleash a combo of powerful abilities to bring your foes to their knees, but you’ll need to adjust your tactics on the fly to counteract the unique attack patterns of the Hellish menagerie at your doorstep.
Hexxen Hunters is set for launch in early access on Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2024.

Here’s why you might not see Babylon Berlin season 4 on Netflix this fall
If you asked me back in January 2023 what my most anticipated show of the year was, the answer was easy: Babylon Berlin season 4. There were several reasons it was at the top of my list, from the way the show built a glorious and grounded mystery in its previous seasons to the way it traced the crumbling Weimar Republic. Annoyingly, it was also my most anticipated show of 2022, and 2021 before that.

I turned my (dark) fantasy of a Zelda movie into reality
As kids, we played make-believe in the world of Hyrule on the playground. My friends and I hunted for the spirits of restless Poes on the wood chips beneath the monkey bars. The corkscrew slide was our portal to the Lost Woods. And when the bell rang, we pretended it was the ominous clocktower from Majora’s Mask, signaling the “Dawn of the Last Day.” We made up our own dark and fantastic storylines, and acted them out like theLegend of Zelda movie of our dreams.

The Legend of Zelda looks perfectly campy in fan-made ’80s dark fantasy trailer
Zelda and Link are heroes and household names at the top of everyone’s minds, given the success of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomand its predecessor Breath of the Wild. But the franchise has never gotten a live-action film release — though a silly animated series was made in 1989 — even as juggernauts like Pokémon adaptation Detective Pikachu have graced theater screens. A fan is rectifying this grave injustice in the form of a trailer, that imagines The Legend of Zelda as a 1980s dark fantasy film.
