Hunted: The Demon's Forge

[Evilyeti]

I did not see a post about this game before so I just wanted to throw it up since it looks pretty cool. I've been following it ever since they showed it at E3 2010 and its up for pre-order now on Steam so i guess it might be coming out soon?

Anyway just wondering if anybody else has been keeping and eye on this and planning on picking it up?

It's co-op also!

Set in a dark fantasy world, Hunted: The Demon s Forge is an unforgettable cooperative action game, pitting you and your partner against waves of vicious enemies.

Discover secrets and complete co op based puzzles whilst exploring the sinister world to discover answers to the game's deep, dark mysteries.

The dark ages have become corrupted. Heinous creatures have emerged from underground.
Townsfolk across the land are disappearing. Upon the promise of their fortune in gold,
mercenaries E'lara and Caddoc take on the daunting task of discovering where the innocent
villagers have been taken. Their journey will lead them on a dark and twisted path where they
will encounter death, slavery, and sacrifice. Travel deep within the world of Kala Moor...and to the secrets of The Demon's Forge.

Hunted: The Demon's Forge: I've Seen This Before

It honestly doesn't look very impressive to me. Gears of War with medieval weaponry?

[Chromey]

AHhh Dont say that LOL Gears of war Was such a fail for me...

[Thund3rball]

From the hands-on I am liable to pick this up heavily discounted, and only if there's local co-op too.

Has anybody played it yet? It just came out on Steam a few nights ago and a friend and I are debating if we want to pick it up for the co-op or not.

Reviews are lacking online right now.
