There are many games which have allowed us the opportunity to become the most feared of monster hunters – the brilliant Monster Hunter: World, for one – but not many arm you with just a crossbow. As the title suggests though, that’s exactly the case in Crossbow Crusade on Xbox.
Priced at a mere £4.19 and coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S thanks to the ChiliDog Interactive team, Crossbow Crusade will put you in the grim and gritty setting of the Dead Kingdom. Following the life and times of a legendary monster hunter, it’ll be up to you to grab the nearest trench coat, and take aim with the most trusty of crossbows in order to clear a dying world of hordes of monsters. And it looks like you’ll be using that same crossbow to create platforms as well.
Crossbow Crusade is delivered through a 1990s styled pixel art design, promising responsive controls (we should hope so too!), a rewarding fighting system and the chance to go up against some seriously challenging enemies. Basically put, if you know how to handle yourself in a run-and-gunner, the chance to prove yourself is here in Crossbow Crusade.
It certainly all looks nice enough, particularly if you’re in the market for a new pixelated platformer, so head on over to the Xbox Store and fire the shots required of an Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S download right now.
And if you’re not sold? Well, our full review of Crossbow Crusade is in the works. We’ll let you know if it hits the spot.
