What is Big Buck Hunter?
If you’ve ever been into a dive bar and seen people yelling at a plastic rifle mounted to an arcade cabinet, chances are they were playing Big Buck Hunter. This iconic shooting game was first released in the 2000s and quickly became a bar and arcade staple thanks to its simple gameplay mechanic which is to shoot «bucks,» identified by their antlers while avoiding «does» or female deer. It’s a popular game with a cult ing that has even held annual tournaments back. Now, Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy takes it a step further by introducing the most packed version of Big Buck Hunter ever released, turning this barroom classic into a full-on arcade hunting adventure that you can enjoy with friends online.
What's New This Time Around?
Big Buck Hunter: Ultimate Trophy lets players relive this classic game with fresh upgrades. You’ll explore brand-new environments, encounter legendary animals, try out new weapons and team-up in multiplayer mode. The game has also gotten visual polish, although if you’re expecting the realism of theHunter: Call of the Wild or Way of the Hunter, think again. While those games capture a more atmospheric and realistic hunting experience, Big Buck Hunter keeps it simply fun and light-hearted. It’s a true arcade shooter at its core that tugs into your nostalgia.
