About this game

Bounty Hounds puts you in the role of Maximilian, a mercenary serving in the BH-31 squad, also known as Bounty Hounds. From the spaceship Quicksilver, the unit travels to multiple planets through the Farcaster to complete missions against ETI infestations.

Combat and Customization

Players can customize Maximilian with a wide selection of weapons, armor, modifications, skill points, and Force skills. Weapon types include swords, axes, hammers, spinners, pilebunkers, gatling guns, shotguns, and big guns. Armor can be equipped across the helmet, chest, arms, waist, and boots, with different abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

Force skills create a field around the player that affects enemies within it. Examples include Weakness, which reduces enemy defense; Defense Boost; and Slow, which reduces enemy movement and attack speed.

Quicksilver Facilities

  • Buy, sell, and modify equipment with Bono at the weapons and armor shop.
