Gameplay
Hunters series is a pair of top-down turn-based tactical role-playing games. The games are set in a science fiction universe where humanity has colonized several solar systems and planets are frequently owned by corporations. The player controls a squad of mercenaries, called "hunters", as they conduct missions for corporations on various planets. Maps are made up of square grids and characters use action points on each turn for movement and shooting. Episode One is a freemium game where the game is free to download but your squad is stuck at experience level two until the app is purchased.
