Welcome to our review of Seaking Hunter, a single screen shooting game where you defend the sea from all enemies.
Protect the world’s oceans from giant sea monsters! Seaking Hunter is a fixed-screen marine action shooting game.
Players will take on huge sea monsters that are rampant in various places, earn rewards, get special armor with the rewards they have, and take on even stronger UMA. In the two-player cooperative play mode, players will take on UMA for a high score.
Starting this century, Unidentified Mysterious Animal, also known as UMA caused a series of incidents. UMA’s frequent apparition became a huge social problem. To fight back against the invasion of UMA, the UMA Hunter Association was created. The UMA Hunters developed a special battle suit to eradicate sea monsters. They are still fighting underwater to protect world peace.
Seaking Hunter is a rather unusual game in my humble opinion. In its core, what it represents, this game is a basically boring game that would have you run from enemies all the while shooting at them. The more you successfully take down, the more points you score and eventually just go to upgrade your fighter and repeat.
In theory, it sounds like a repetitive game that depends on proper gameplay to really shine and well, it kind of delivers. Allow me to explain. Not all is well in Seaking Hunter, at times the world map allows you to take on way overpowered enemies and those are just too tough unless you really got things covered. My suggestion is simply to keep yourself from taking them on and just take it one star at a time.
The action in Seaking Hunter is quite fun. All enemies have their own attack pattern and while most are easy to figure out, it takes some swift-moving around to get yourself from being hit. You get more and more coins along the way that can be exchanged for more and greater power. At first, it takes hundreds of bullets to take down a boss but after some upgrading, it takes “less”.
I must say I was amused to try a really overpowered boss and the simple fact of being underpowered to take it out. I could have slowly but surely done the deed. But I was too impatient and tried to go for gold. Failing miserably, I lost the coins needed to start the fight. No harm done as I was able to get back into the water.
Graphically, this is not a stunning game or even something special. The bright colors work however and I did like how some of the tougher enemies looked. Much like actual sea monsters would be. It all kind of fits. Audio is nothing special either. It just works, which is enough for me.
In conclusion, Seaking Hunter is a game that surprised me positively. It had the right amount of swagger to keep me going and despite some incredibly tough enemies, this game is more fun than I expected. For 10 bucks, this might be a decent game to add to your collection!
