[Trailer] Take on The Arctic And Eat Your Friends in Upcoming Survival Title ‘Dread Hunger’
Those of you looking for the video game equivalent of Antonia Bird’s Ravenous will certainly be keeping an eye on Digital Hunger Team’s Dread Hunger. Not only is the title set to come out of Early Access on Steam later this Fall, but also recently had an update to its Early Access build.
Similar to other survival games such as Project Winter, the story for Dread Hunger sees you and up to seven other friends in the remote Artic trying to survive while navigating your ship past an iceberg. However, there are two Thralls amongst you, and you’ve either got to root them out as the Explorers while trying to make it out alive, or thwart their efforts as the Thralls themselves using magic or just plain ol’ murder.
As these types of games go, you’ve got in-game voice chat to help/hinder you as you go about your tasks (such as refueling the ship), or trying to determine who the guilty parties are in your midst. And yes, if and when food starts to dwindle (or has been poisoned), you might have to do the dirty deed of eating your fellow Explorers in order to keep going.
Meanwhile, the recent update to the game introduces a new map, a new character and a new weapon, along with a host of other fixes and tweaks.
Much like many series that made the transition from 2D to 3D open worlds, Konami’s two Castlevania forays on the Nintendo 64 weren’t exactly the best. Still, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is considered the better title when compared to Castlevania 64, and now thanks to one fan’s discovery, it’s been made that much better.
Courtesy of IGN, YouTuber JupiterClimb recently posted a new video revealing that he has discovered the famous Konami Code (well specifically, a variation on it) in the 1999 action-platformer. Inputting the code unlocks all four characters from the very start, their alternate costumes, and the game’s Hard Mode difficulty. Meaning, you won’t have to unlock each character and their alternate costumes by rescuing the children found throughout the game. This also remedies the complaint that Reinhardt and Carrie weren’t available from the beginning of the game, as they were in Castlevania 64.
To get with the goodies, punch in C-Up x4, C-Down x4, C-Left x2, C-Right x2, C-Left x2, C-Right x2, L, R, and Z in the main menu. Create a brand new save, and instead of just having Cornell as the only character to select, you now have Reinhardt Schneider, Carrie Fernandez, and Henry Oldrey all available.
That’s not the only code to have been discovered for Legacy of Darkness. JupiterClimb has also revealed new codes that allow players to max out their inventory, max out attack power and sub-weapon, and even give you 99 jewels. Sadly, these only work on the Japan and European versions of the game, but they’re still cool to have handy. As JupiterClimb speculates, these were most likely debug codes for testing the game, and weren’t removed for the PAL and Japan releases.
Of course, you’ll still have to deal with the finicky camera and the frustrating platforming, but we already knew that.
Meanwhile, if you’re hankering for some newer Castlevania goodness, keep an eye out for V Rising and its Legacy of Castlevania crossover content, coming May 8th to PC via Steam.
