The Hunter may be male or female, and his or her looks can be customized.
You’ll will be able to pick from over 40 distinct abilities for The Hunter’s superpowers. There will be 13 distinct heroes in the game, including The Hunter. Meanwhile, the combat will be turn-based, akin to the XCOM series from Firaxis Games. Players will manage and upgrade their base of operations, dubbed “The Abbey”, between combat missions, which they may stroll around in third-person view to explore and connect with other heroes.
