And boy oh boy I cant say enough praise for Hunters Episode One..Its not without its flaws the visuals can still do with some improvement and the speed framerate of the game is a bit slow even on the iPad 2. Hunters Episode One does just that with around five different unit types each with their own set of weapons armor and completing each mission is just a blast. Right now it feels like Im wasting precious time on what could be used for other things..Hunters Episode One HD is far from perfect when it comes to features but the gameplay is nearly perfect.
