Description: In the ancient days, Pangu created the Huaxia world, the lives of the common people were rendered happy. But one day, monsters came to Huaxia world. Huaxia civilization was on the verge of destruction. There are two roles in Ancient Huntsmen for players to rescue the ancient civilization. In this first-person action VR game, you will play as a heroic warrior who saves Chinese civilization, standing at the frontline and guarding an important stronghold of mankind.

Review: ‘Ancient Huntsmen’ is a magic and action-based wave shooter in which you get a choice of two characters to take down wave after wave of evil-looking enemies (of which are mostly giant bugs). All the next is in Chinese, but I managed to work out what to do in order to play the game. While the graphics are OK I guess they are certainly nothing to write home about as with the gameplay. Sure, it’s fun for 5 minutes, but you soon realise that is all there is to this game. The one level, the same kill or be killed gameplay loop. I get that £4.79 isn’t a lot, but it was more than you should be willing to pay for this. I give it a reluctant thumbs down.
