The eagerly awaited mobile version of Way of the Hunter, titled "Way of the Hunter: Wild America," has finally been released. Developed by Nine Rocks Games, this is the inaugural mobile installment in the renowned Way of the Hunter series. Players are transported to the heart of the North American Pacific Northwest, specifically the Nez Perce Valley in the USA, for an immersive hunting experience.
Way of the Hunter: Wild America doesn't compromise on realism. The animals in the game exhibit natural behaviors, being skittish and observant, and they are part of a dynamic ecosystem that evolves based on player decisions. As you engage in hunting, you're not just a spectator but an active participant in a living, breathing environment that responds to your actions. The game places a strong emphasis on ethical hunting and weaves a narrative that delves into the challenges and triumphs of a family-run hunting business.
To succeed, players must interpret animal signs, analyze blood splatters, and utilize a rewindable bullet camera to review their shots. The game features a 'Hunter Sense' that can highlight crucial details, though players have the option to disable it for a more challenging, instinct-driven experience.
Way of the Hunter: Wild America includes an array of licensed equipment from top brands like Bushnell, Federal, Leupold, Primos, Remington, and Steyr Arms. The game also features a robust in-game economy, allowing players to sell meat, purchase upgraded gear, acquire new hunting passes, or enhance their trophy stands.
The game boasts a wide variety of animal species, each with unique behavior models. Antlers and horns are procedurally generated, reflecting the age and fitness of the animals. Players will experience a realistic 24-hour day and night cycle, along with changing weather conditions, wind patterns, and bullet physics. A photo mode allows players to capture stunning moments, such as a bear crossing a river at sunrise or a herd of elk silhouetted against the mountains.
Whether you prefer using a gamepad or the optimized mobile touch controls, Way of the Hunter: Wild America caters to your preferred setup. The game is now available on Android for $9.99 and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
