Huntbound: New 2D Co-op RPG for Monster-Hunting Fans

If you're eagerly awaiting new mobile games, get ready for Huntbound, an upcoming 2D co-op RPG that's set to launch on mobile devices. This game is a dream come true for Monster Hunter enthusiasts, offering cooperative gameplay, upgradable gear, and a diverse range of distinct monsters to battle.

The topic of ecology in fantasy worlds raises intriguing ethical questions. Is it right to hunt down rare creatures just for their loot? If pondering such complexities isn't your thing, then Huntbound is here to let you dive into the action, endangering mythical species armed with nothing but your wits, your friends, and perhaps an enormous hammer.

To put it plainly, if you're searching for a lightweight, 2D game reminiscent of Monster Hunter, Huntbound fits the bill. You'll explore its world, engage in epic battles with colossal beasts, and craft increasingly powerful weapons to tackle more formidable foes. Does this sound familiar? Absolutely, but there's nothing wrong with that. Huntbound captures the essence of what Monster Hunter fans love, with decent-looking, minimalist graphics and gameplay that should satisfy your craving without the need to dive into something like Monster Hunter Outlanders.

While it may not boast all the intricate features of Monster Hunter, Huntbound delivers everything you'd want in a game like this. From upgradable gear and unique boss monsters to the ability to customize your hunter, plus the added joy of playing with friends, it's all here.

Huntbound also evokes a bit of nostalgia for the classic days of side-scrolling beat 'em ups in Flash. If you're a fan of the genre, this game is definitely worth checking out. Mark your calendars for February 4th, when Huntbound becomes available on Google Play.
