Let's talk about the conclusion first: I didn't have high expectations for this game. After all, when I saw the word “Taoteng”, my first reaction was that it was another scam web game. Finally, I clicked in and played for half an hour. It was really delicious.
"Survival Hunter" has a very old-fashioned name, but its value lies in its authenticity. There is no VIP, no first charge, no stamina bar, just go in and do it. The operation interface is as clean as an independent game. Moving left and right, jumping, sprinting, reloading, aiming, and shooting are all smooth and smooth with full keyboard operation. For me, an old man who has been beaten repeatedly by gold-priced mobile games, finding this silky smooth feel in a free game is like drinking an iced Coke in the desert.
The content of the game is not as crude as it appears. Each level is an independent challenge, the enemy types are getting more and more sinister, and the level terrain is getting more and more creative. It's not the kind of level where you change skins and pile up values. It really depends on positioning, timing and marksmanship. The feeling of shooting with your brain is so precious in this era of automatic aiming.
What surprises me most is the loot system - the weapons and parts dropped in each level are different. Some can be modified, some can be combined, and they can even determine the way to play the next level. It's not the randomness of drawing cards, it's the sense of accomplishment that you type and pinch by your own hands.
The thrill of killing people and shooting accurately is also real. In melee combat, there are punches to the flesh, and in long range, there is crisp feedback from headshots. All you need to do is raise the gun, take a deep breath, pull the trigger, and it's all done. This is the rawest, purest thrill of shooting games.
To be honest, this game also has flaws, such as the graphics are not top-notch and the plot is almost non-existent. But it's free, doesn't force you to socialize, and doesn't disgust you to recharge. For a small independent team that can polish the core gameplay like this, it has already defeated 90% of the commercial garbage on the market.
If you are fed up with those "masterpieces" that require you to spend seven days and one order before you can continue, try "Survival Hunter". Supporting a team like this that makes games honestly is better than anything else. I have found a collector in the basement on the forum. He has developed three different ways to play with different gun combinations. I am trying them out one by one.
This game is not worth praising, it is worth playing. 🔥
