Loot Hound
SCORE: 70
Family Friendly Gaming was recently provided a download code for Loot
Hound on Steam. This downloadable only Personal Computer (PC) video game
is all about walking your dog, and letting it find things. The three
different dogs in Loot Hound find areas to dig things up. There are one
hundred and ten items in all in Loot Hound. You will find some of the
same things twice. Then you can crush the duplicates.
Loot Hound has a direct overhead view. The line for the leash will turn
red when the dog and this master are too far away. The dog can pull the
leash out of the owner's hand. Dogs in Loot Hound will do real world
things in Loot Hound. Like bark at, and chase joggers, urinate on trees,
and more. Players can upgrade the dogs in Loot Hound. In fact you
absolutely have to in certain areas to progress.
On more than one occasion in Loot Hound did I find the dog to be nearly
worthless. He or she would bark at me, and I would move. Only to find
out I was not standing on the dig spot. You can stand on the dig spot,
and get in the way of the dog. Loot Hound also has the dogs lose their
concentration thanks to things happening nearby like a bee hive buzzing.
After a level is played, then you go back to your house. From there you
can look at your collection. Loot Hound will tell you things about the
items you found. Like a beer bottle. Yes Loot Hound has alcohol
references in it. I am glad my dad was never out in the backyard
drinking. Reading about it in Loot Hound was not something I could
relate to in any way, shape, or form.
Loot Hound is currently in the Steam Greenlight. It is not that large of
a download so it should not kill off your Internet usage for the month.
I can see the charm and appeal to Loot Hound. At other times Loot Hound
bored me to tears. Waiting on the dog to dig felt like forever. Other
times the dog was not skilled enough and would stop. This was actually
annoying - having to go back to the house to purchase upgrades.
