Hawked

Mechanics

Hawked is a third-person game. Our primary objective is to extract artifacts. To achieve this, we must eliminate enemies, solve puzzles and avoid traps. We'll face off against AI-controlled lizards and other players competing against us to achieve the same goals. There are also plenty of random events, such as randomly spawning, well-guarded caravans. All this means the game is very dynamic and fast-paced, and though we can play solo, we'll be better off as part of a Renegade trio.

Acquired artifacts grant us various ive bonuses which increase our combat capabilities. Said abilities include turning into a bush while crouching or a sixth sense. Aside from firearms, we'll make use of some useful gadgets, such as boomerangs, deployable shields and scout falcons.

To win, we must escape the island with the artifacts; though escaping even with only some minor treasure is also a success. We'll spend our downtime in Riftwake, a safe area where we can sell and dismantle treasures; this grants us currency used to purchase better equipment. The game also features lots of cosmetics, such as outfits and hairstyles, letting us adjust our character's appearance to our preferences.
