We dive into the exciting world of HAWKED with an early access review. Fierce challenges await in the Indiana Jones-inspired adventure game.
I attended a very fun event last week. While I normally don’t have much in mind about the game, after testing it at the event, I believed that it should definitely be given a chance. HAWKED I’m talking about the game. I’ll go into details in a moment, but to put it simply, I can say that it’s kind of like the TPS version of League of Legends, although I don’t exactly express it exactly. You can read about my experiences during the HAWKED early access process below.

HAWKED Early Access review
Imagine. indiana jones You are here and you want to plunder the treasures on an island. But be careful! You’re not the only one who wants this. Other bandits have the same goal and are arriving on the island at the same time as you. Of course, you must reach the treasure before they do, but your opponents are not your only problem. The natives of the island are also waiting to protect their treasures. But none of them are sweet creatures like Charmander in Pokémon. They are all bloodthirsty, armed creatures.
By the way, as a footnote, HAWKED was previously Warface And Conqueror’s Blade A game published by My.Games, which we know from games such as. Add the game, which will be available for public and free early access on Steam on November 30, to your wish list. from here you can add
HAWKED Early Access review
As in many productions, we start by choosing our character in HAWKED. Although there are many characters that are different from each other, basically these are just cosmetic differences and they are no different from each other. However, players can also make many customizations such as hair style, color or clothing if they wish. Although it does not affect the game, it may affect your enthusiasm for playing.
After choosing our character, our story will take place. in exileWe need to get to , but there’s one more step before: Fevrialem. We join the game here before Sürgünada. Actually, it’s more like a waiting area before entering the match. You can shop here and set up your team if you want. I have to point out that you need to be friends on Steam in order to enter matches as a team. After giving the start command to Fevriâlem, we start the match after a short wait.

As we said, “we are plunderers”, “we are bandits”, we must remain true to the essence of this. We need to take down what we have and take what we have. When we arrived on the island, we had a sling and a sword. We improve ourselves with these lizards (called Scavengers) that we encounter while running towards other looters, and the weapons and power-ups we obtain from the chests they protect. In this way, we will be more prepared when we encounter our opponents.
Our only weapon to defeat our opponents is not our gun or rifle. You can also benefit from the traps around you. For example, there are rotating barrels with blades. If you shoot at the red dot above it, it turns quickly and starts damaging those around it. At the beginning of the game, I mistook him for a puzzle and shot him, and then I got a big wound and died in a short time. Even though details like this get on your nerves, they’re actually fun. Especially if you start using it against your competitors.

You can also use the artifacts from a lost civilization that we collected on the island. These artifacts grant passive bonuses, such as the ability to transform into a bush when you bend over or gaining a sixth sense towards nearby enemies. There are currently 18 types of works in the game. You can combine three works at once. And what’s more interesting is that all artifacts are at various rarity levels or can be upgraded to these levels. You can customize your character as you wish by using these artifacts with 16 types of equipment such as boomerangs, openable shields and scout hawks. You can even sell or destroy equipment and artifacts that you do not like or do not plan to use in the game’s social area, Fevriâlem. This provides you with valuable resources to improve your character.
While some chests contain pistols, others contain more powerful weapons such as rifles. Since we played the game in a group of three people, I sometimes heard a lot of complaints from my friends who opened the ballot box, saying “God damn it, this turned out to be a gun.” However, since there were plenty of ballot boxes around, we went to another one and tried our luck again. Eventually you will get a more powerful weapon. There is a very important thing to consider here, and that is the fact that we are racing against time. Because the opposing team does not stand idle while you search for weapons. If they are lucky, they may reach the treasures before you. That’s why, after a while, it seemed most logical to take the first thing we found without worrying too much about weapons, continue on our way and try our luck in the chests we will come across on the road.

By the way, Exile, where the story takes place, changes every time you enter. Sometimes treasures may be close to you, and sometimes you are far away. For this reason, you have to face different parts of the island in each match. My favorite parts were the ones with plenty of rivers. Because we could get on our fast surfer on the water and reach the opponent’s area faster, and if we got stuck, we could jump on our board and get away from the area quickly. Components like this add fun to the game.
I think we’ve looked at the general mechanics of HAWKED enough. We need to talk a little about the dynamics. Matches last approximately 15 minutes. This may take a little less time depending on the ability or inability of you and your team. If you die in a match, a teammate can revive you. However, since we could not solve this at the beginning of the test, we also had very short matches. I won’t lie, young players are more agile in these types of games due to their reflexes and familiarity with the controls. In the first 1-2 games, I was not afraid that my teammates would throw me out of the game.

There are many details to be written for HAWKED. I even forgot to write one of them. Let me talk about that briefly. You will also encounter puzzles as you progress. For example, you have to shoot the fruits of a tree and find the treasure it hides. These are not necessarily puzzles to be solved. However, it should not be missed because it can give us historical artifacts. They’re not that difficult anyway.
Set in a graphically colorful environment, the encounters felt like they were, to some extent, immersing us in the world of Marvel’s Thor. Bright explosions and colorful bullet trails offer a visual show for those who prefer bright colors. You can also get different experiences depending on the equipment we obtain. Despite all these details, Sürgünada’s green plains, colorful flowers and environment full of ancient ruins did not cause any technical problems (even for a game that has not even reached the early access stage yet).
