Deer Drive
Description
Deer Drive is a first-person action arcade hunting game in which levels are completed by shooting animals from a stationary position to earn points. The game gets progressively more difficult with predators and large animals such as bears and moose appearing in the later levels. Deer Drive is playable in single and multiplayer, with multiplayer having a versus mode and a co-op "Hunting Party" mode. The game has no story mode.
In order to play, the player is required to first create an Emblem, which acts as a save file for personal bests in each mode. There are multiple difficulties to choose from. Each level is held in a different location with the player standing in one spot. Animals run towards the player, and each kill awards points, with bonus points awarded for shots on far away animals. Better shots award more points, as do larger bucks (referred to as "Trophy Bucks" in-game). Penalties are given for shooting does. Levels are competed by shooting a certain number of large game.
Some animals award power-ups when killed, such as "Polarized Shades", which makes animals stand out more against the environment. Power-ups have a limited use time and eventually run out. The rifle has to be periodically reloaded, and some power-ups increase the amount of bullets that can be shot before a reload is needed.
The appearance of dangerous animals is indicated by an arrow showing which direction the animal is coming from as well as a change in music. Not killing a dangerous animal before it reaches the player results in a game over. There are 30 levels of each difficulty to complete in total.
