Hunger: The Historical Extraction Game That Might Be Worth Playing
Disclaimer
I was asked to cover the Hunger trailer that just dropped. I will be trying to get into any of the playtests because the trailer is really cool and I am very interested. I canât make any assumptions of the game because I havenât played it, so this will be more of a report than a review.

What is Hunger?
Hunger is a PvPvE extraction game set in Napolean era Europe. Make sure you check out the Steam page for all the details.
A plague spreads across the European landscape, and its survivors fight for survival. Players can join forces to survive the plagued landscape, fight against other players, and it sounds like they drive the content. The game will launch in early access with three unique maps.
Gameplay will be extraction style matches where players can complete quests to progress through the story. What makes the game unique is its flavor and aesthetic. The weapons, the armor, the world all have such cool flavor and I for one canât wait to jump in and explore them all. Hunger promises thirty weapons at launch with enough customization options for a good variety of play styles. There are also plans for crafting and gathering mechanics for a little added depth. I just hope there isnât a way to buy mats and fix the economy with real world money.
I would love to learn more about the progression system. What sets this game apart from other extraction games aside from the story and flavor is its progression system. It says it will follow the traditional RPG path as players level from 1-100. Leveling up will open up more of the game to players by giving them access to dungeons and world bosses, but I wonder if it also gives players access to additional power.
This game sounds great on paper. It has fantastic flavor, an interesting premise, but is it doing too much? I am afraid that the result will be a broken game that will lose too much of its player base by the time it gets good. If Early Access has a good foundation with fun gameplay, even if it doesnât work properly, this can be a solid PVP game with a lot of potential. I am excited to follow it, and hope that it is good.
