Huntbound is a co-op monster hunting experience, out now on Android

• Huntbound is a co-op monster hunting experience, out now
• Track monsters, slay them and convert their remains into powerful equipment
• Go alone or with up to four friends!

If you’ve been looking for a new co-op experience, there’s something new on the horizon with Huntbound. Out now on Google Play, this cooperative monster hunter sees you taking out powerful critters and beasties before converting their constituent parts into more powerful weapons! Go it alone, or with friends, to take on bigger and badder monsters.

And if this is sounding familiar there’s a reason that I drew comparisons to Monster Hunter in our initial coverage of Huntbound. Not to say that’s a bad thing, though, as Huntbound is distinctive enough to be different, and manages to take many of the entertaining aspects of that series and make it their own.

In that way then, Huntbound looks more like Castle Crashers mixed with Monster Hunter and still boasts many of the features of the latter. Whether that’s studying creatures to get an upper hand or the aforementioned creation of new weapons and armour out of their remains, you can go it alone or take on these monsters with up to three friends!

Hunting season

I’m cautiously intrigued by Huntbound, and while I’m not sure it’ll shoot into the stratosphere it does make me eager to see what else developer Tao Team can come up with. And as I wrote above, it’s got a bevvy of features for you to enjoy, so there hardly seems to be much harm in giving it a go. You can find Huntbound over on Google Play, but unfortunately, there’s no iOS release on the cards, yet.
