The Huntsman: Winter Curse is a pretty accessible RPG. The graphic is cool and if you never played an RPG before you can appreciate it. Otherwise if you are a hard core role player gamer you will find the mechanics of the game too easy and the story already seen in a lot of similar productions.
The game simply struggles too hard to make you care about the characters or their situation, and an RPG without a compelling narrative is one that will always feel like it’s missing substance.
The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse is a turn-based RPG without the deep upgrade systems and gripping stories you’ve seen in other games within the genre.
The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse works as a fun side trip into the Disney Universe of the same name; a little detour headed by a worthy cast. As an RPG? It unfortunately struggles to hit its mark way too often.
What would be a fun take on the old 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books is ultimately ruined by game-ruining bugs and poor design choices. However, The Huntsman: Winter's Curse has some exceptional graphics, a decent battle system and an okay story. A patch or two may well help it meet its potential but right now the graphic artist should be very annoyed at the coders that butchered this game.
The Huntsman: Winter's Curse's relatively short campaign is a slog, with little variation in the types of enemies presenting themselves. Moreover, the plot is so basic that it offers little in the way of distraction from the terrible mechanics of the game. The only saving grace is that this is an attractive game with its storybook stylisation.
The Huntsman: Winter’s Curse could have been a pretty good game, as it has fantastic visuals, a compelling storyline, and rather ambient music selections, but the bugs make it unbearable.
