Bounty Hounds Online (BHO) is a free to play 3D sci-fi/futuristic
sequel to the popular PSP title from Namco Bandai. The game features great graphics, animations and special effects. A smooth dual
weapon system automatically switches between melee and ranged combat,
while unique transformable robot pets can strategically assist you on
the battlefield. The game also features an innovative Research &
Development system to craft and enhance your equipment efficiently.
Those
familiar with the Playstation Portable prequel of the game may see a
number of familiar faces in this online variant. Set in the 25th
century, Bounty Hounds Online sends its players as mercenaries to Clear
Sky Planet, mankind’s retreat after a huge galactic war against
extraterrestrial foes. As a member of one of four mercenary factions,
their mission is to keep the fragile peace. In order to enter the
battlefield, players choose one of five unique mercenary classes with
different skills and weapons.
Players
can select up to 5 different mercenary class types: The capable
Trooper, the deadly Agent, the supportive Bioengineer, the destructive
Artillery, and the eccentric Scientist. Assisting the player is the CTU,
or Combat Tactical Unit, which is a robotic pet capable of transforming
into a combat mech in case things get tough.
Players
also have to choose which Mercenary Company they are aligned with.
Although all the mercenary groups are working towards the same goal,
they are still separate entities and so a few conflicts between its
operatives may arise. PvP between mercenaries or whole groups of them
are possible as well as forming specific groups called Wolfpacks which
allow you to further lay claim to your fame and glory!
