About Poached : Hunt The Hunter
In the vast wilderness of South Africa's Northern Province, a battle is raging between the ruthless poachers who seek to exploit the region's natural resources, and the dedicated game rangers who are determined to protect the animals and preserve the beauty of the land. "Poached: Hunt The Hunter" puts you in the shoes of a game ranger, tasked with defending the nature reserve from the poachers who seek to destroy it.
Here you must fight to survive. It’s man versus beast versus man versus man. And if you’re no stranger to danger, come play as a ranger fighting off armies of ruthless poachers with nothing but your wits, harsh language, braai tongs and an arsenal of weapons that would make any arms dealer green with envy. You wake up in your camp, make breakfast, get your orders and shoot poachers on sight using high powered automatic weapons. Simple. Or you skip breakfast, that’s up to you. Or you chase chickens around for half an hour, grow hallucinogenic plants in the shed, spend the day barbequing goat chops to perfection, race ostriches or rescue lost rangers stuck in trees, I’m not going to tell you how to live your life. You play it your way. This is the POACHED experience.

A game by Ingozi Games South Africa, a one man development studio backed by a talented team of voice actors and musicians.
Voice & Casting by Asylum Studios
Original Soundtrack by Senkhane Montsitsi
The game has currently been in development for approximately 3 Years, and will be releasing into Early Access for a dollar-store price.
The Early Access process will last another 3 years to ensure maximum compatibility with all systems and best possible experience.
The price will remain low and fair as agreed by the community at all times of the development phase and full transparency is always ensured. The games development is fully self funded and I encourage players to rather not buy the game until it's out of early access unless they want to be involved in the development process and instead download the free demo while waiting for the finished game! The demo itself will be regularly updated as the main game branch is updated for free forever.
The game already currently has a great community behind it with over 100+ Private Beta testers that have helped steer development since the projects inception in 2020. Please feel free to join in on the discussions on our Steam Forums and make sure to play the Free Demo now!!!

Very good story baie drugs mampoer and biggest plot twist of cinema ever would recommend 100%2 found this helpful
If you live in South Africa, then this is a good and funny Early Access game. If you live anywhere else in the world, then this is just simply a bad game. --- Overall I'm very excited to see how this game improves and changes over the course of Early Access and I'll definitely try to play the game again in the future. For now, I wouldn't recommend it. But I will keep my eye on it. --- Two real issues: 1. The game completely crashes my whole computer after completing mission 1. This has happened twice already and thus I haven't played past mission 1 yet. 2. The game doesn't have fullscreen windowed mode. I really need this in all the games I play so that I'm easily able to play while doing other things on the computer. --- Gameplay wise. Something feels off. I can't exactly say what, but something feels weird and off. I think it's a combination of a few things such as shooting, walking, running, etc. But I think this is okay since it is Early Access at this point.1 found this helpful
A fun game with massive potential! As a South African, many of the conversations and references make me very happy inside! If you are looking for an FPS with a South African twist then this is the one to get!
Dream job
Tricky review on this one as in its current form I don't recommend it but should it change during development i would recommend it. I like the potential it has but there are a lot of negatives currently. No torch so when it's dark you're blind. When it gets dark you can pitch a tent and sleep until daylight, which is great but you can't pick it up or buy another one, which is bad. Cooking meat is finicky: press LMB to grab, which then knocks your other meat on the ground, RMD to flip, this makes it spin...fast. So you have to try to guess when to let it go. Why not press RMB to flip it once? Why the need to grab it? Click RMB to flip, create the animation, done. Doesn't need to be so complicated. Ammunition is scattered around the camp, like rifle ammo in the toilet building, shotgun behind shed door, sniper rifle in a basket beside the caravan. Just weird. Missions are all very close to camp so the vehicle is unnecessary, literally walk out of camp into mission area, camp is raided constantly, enemies take quite a few rifle rounds to put them down though they have head shot damage which was good. Pistol seems to do same damage as rifle, weird. Enemies can see and shoot yo…
This game for what it is, is pretty neat. I know that I have not played much yet, but I am looking forward to trying it again at some point. My main gripe, which I hope gets fixed at some point, is that the mouse input feels very floaty and weird. It is almost like your camera movement has some momentum to it. I am interested in the game, but this aspect triggers my motion sickness so I got nauseous from my short session that I played. Update!!!! The developer added an option that fixed the issue that I was having!
