The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse, an adventure RPG with collectible card game elements featuring an original story set in Universal Studios’ Huntsman universe, releases on PlayStation 4 in Europe and the Oceanic today.
Winter’s Curse follows the story of Elisabeth, a young woman who vows to her dying father that she will find her long-lost siblings. On her journey she teams up with a mysterious man with magical powers named Marcus.
Together they explore the Huntsman’s massive world and visit familiar locations from the films. Elisabeth and Marcus may also join forces with other humans, dwarves or supernatural beings as they embark on choose-your-own-adventure style quests.
Our heroes will battle mythical opponents in a combat system fueled by collectible cards. At the start of each fight players are dealt a hand of randomly-drawn cards from the collection they have assembled. Each card has corresponding actions for use in battle.
“Working with an established universe is a great opportunity, but even gamers who aren’t familiar with the films will love The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse,” said Linsay Craten, chief marketing officer, Desert Owl Games. “With a distinct combat system, a compelling story and beautiful artwork, we built an RPG that will captivate all gamers.”
