Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward is a hack-and-slash action game developed by High Voltage Software, released in 2003 for PlayStation 2. Based on White Wolf's tabletop role-playing game, it places players in the role of Hunters — individuals with a rare, ambiguous ability to perceive and confront the undead and supernatural forces invisible to ordinary people. The game's story centers on an evil cult that has taken root in the town of Ashcroft, which Hunters must work to dismantle and destroy. Players choose from five distinct characters, each carrying unique weapons, supernatural abilities, and special edges, then battle through waves of monstrous enemies across gothic environments. The game emphasizes crowd-based combat woven into a narrative-driven structure, drawing on the lore and atmosphere of its source material to frame its dark, horror-inflected setting.
