For a game ostensibly about cooperative play, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge never capitalizes on its own premise – two fantasy badasses working together to slaughter hordes of monsters. The basic ingredients ♏are there: Caddoc, the cautious but beefy human, is melee oriented while (sigh) sexy female elf E’lara plies her trade with bow-and-arrow. There is even a hint of truly imaginative co-op powers such as one spell that lifts enemies in a whirlwind which grants bonus damage to E’lara if she can pick off the helpless floating fools. It’s a whiff of co-op potential that never pans out, because it doesn’t go any deeper than that.
