Hunt Showdown 1896 Making Major Changes After Negative User Reviews

Highlights

  • Hunt: Showdown 1896 plans to update its UI after player dissatisfaction, despite a record high player count post-update.
  • Design Director acknowledged key UI shortcomings, and the studio will be prioritizing changes for gear selection and navigation.

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours clocked in Hunt: Showdown, I can say that the recent UI overhaul has been a bit of a rollercoaster. The engine upgrade and new map were certainly welcome additions, but the UI changes have left me scratching my head more than once. It’s like they took a perfectly good interface, wrapped it in a shiny new coat, and forgot to include the instruction manual.


1896 edition of Hunt: Showdown is undergoing major revisions to its user interface due to a series of negative user feedback. Although the update brought about an unprecedented surge in the game’s concurrent players, the overhauled UI has been met with widespread disappointment among gamers, causing a drop in Hunt: Showdown 1896’s Steam rating.

In July, rumors surfaced that Hunt: Showdown could potentially rename itself as Hunt: Showdown 1896. On August 15th, the game underwent a major update bringing an engine upgrade, a revamped user interface (UI), a new map called Mammon’s Gulch, and other improvements. This overhaul boosted the number of concurrent players to a record high of 59,968. Although the update has received positive feedback for various aspects, many gamers have criticized the new UI, as shown in recent Steam comments. As a result, there’s been an increase in negative reviews on Steam, but the overall rating still remains “mostly positive.”

In a recent video, Dennis Schwarz, Design Director for Hunt: Showdown, addressed the feedback about the latest update. He admitted that the release of Hunt: Showdown 1896 introduced a user interface that fell short in crucial aspects such as hunter and gear selection, inventory layout, and filtering options. Schwarz highlighted these issues as top priorities for improvement and detailed several actions being taken to rectify them. The team is planning to upgrade the Hunter gear interface to streamline navigation, enabling players to switch between weapons, tools, and traits more effortlessly. A new play button will be added to make access to the lobby screen easier, reducing the time needed to start matches and move between tabs.

What to Expect from Upcoming UI Changes in Hunt: Showdown 1896

As a fan of Hunt: Showdown 1896, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! From now on, we can customize our game modes right from the lobby itself. The summary of our mission and team details will be neatly displayed on one screen for easier navigation. Plus, the Prestige screen is getting a makeover, now showing clear rewards at each level. Schwarz also shared that they’re working diligently to enhance the menus and systems, expressing gratitude for our ever-growing player base, and promising more updates with improved features in the future.

It’s worth mentioning that the Design Director of the distinctive game “Hunt: Showdown” didn’t specify an exact date for when these updates will come out. However, it’s reassuring to know that the development team is actively working on resolving existing problems and have promised to roll out further improvements in the future.
