In case you were looking to play a fun free game with your friends this weekend, this one might be worth your while.<\/p>\n

Gator Hucker came out on Steam<\/a> this week as a free-to-play multiplayer title, and it seems to have been received positively so far.<\/p>\n

It’s a game about playing as a bunch of alien alligators who are locked in battle, where you can take part in teams or in a chaotic free-for-all deathmatch.<\/p>\n

In Gator Huckers, team games are made up of 4 vs 4 matchups, where you navigate and explore a large gladiatorial arena.<\/p>\n

You swap between different forms, using a bipedal and quadrupedal playstyles each with their own unique attributes, which can offer unique advantages across the playing field.<\/p>\n

After you deal enough damage, you can also unleash your ultimate attack which deals a massive amount of damage against any enemies which come into contact with you.<\/p>\n

You’ll be able to select either the Super Laser or the Gorillza Strike, which can decimate your opponents and help you rack up a high score.<\/p>\n

If you end up being defeated in battle, you can immediately rejoin the fight by ‘getting hucked’ back into the arena, where landing on enemy players deals huge amounts of damage.<\/p>\n

You can download<\/a> Gator Hucker now from Steam, where it’s available as a free game.<\/p>\n

Players Are Having A Good Time With Gator Hucker<\/p>\n
