It’s time to play Monster Hunter again, but now you’re an Orc

With the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, the ongoing debate about the series’ apparent contradiction of wanting to protect ecosystems while also exploiting them for resources resurfaced. Many questioned when Monster Hunter would embrace its true nature of turning mythical creatures into wearable items. The hunters themselves were not exempt from scrutiny, being dubbed as the real monsters in the grand scheme of things.

Enter Hunters Inc, a first-person low-budget game where players take on the role of Orc hunters unapologetically smashing their way through the wildlife. Orcs are known for their straightforward approach to violence, making no pretense of being nature’s caretakers. The game offers a seamless blend of gameplay and narrative, with Orcs reveling in their destructive tendencies.

In Hunters Inc, players team up with fellow Orcs to explore procedurally generated environments, hunting down creatures ranging from giant spiders to unsuspecting snails. Different Orc classes offer unique playstyles, from the Berserker focusing on damage output to the Blacksmith crafting powerful weapons from gathered resources. The game’s mechanics require players to strategize and use the environment to their advantage, adding depth to the hunting experience.

The brutal nature of the game is highlighted by the ability to carve up defeated creatures for valuable resources, a far cry from the sanitized approach of other hunting games. Players can immerse themselves in the visceral act of dismembering foes, adding a sense of realism to the gameplay. The developers, Wylderzone, have a history of creating immersive experiences, with Hunters Inc being a prime example of their dedication to delivering engaging gameplay.

As players await the full release of the game in July 2025, they can get a taste of the action by trying out the Steam demo. The cathartic experience of embracing one’s inner Orc hunter provides a refreshing change of pace from traditional monster hunting games. The only lingering question remains – what does the “Inc” in Hunters Inc signify? Is it an indication of an Orc-run corporation, complete with shareholders and tax obligations?

For those interested in exploring the world of Orc hunting, Hunters Inc offers a unique and thrilling experience that is sure to satisfy the most avid monster hunters. Dive into the world of Orcs and unleash your primal instincts as you embark on a brutal journey through the untamed wilderness.
