It sounds morbid, but the intentionally goofy voices and the sharks' manic animations ensure it never feels serious.
Then they start panicking once they see you, only to scream hilariously as your shark starts chomping on them. When left to their own devices, they talk and act like typical airheaded valley girls and surfer dudes. While devouring sea life is a pretty clinical affair, Hungry Shark World goes for full-on black comedy wherever humans come up. That last part is especially important because in a game that's all about violently ripping living things to pieces, you need all the laughs you can get. While they're by no means cute and cuddly, they are nevertheless depicted in a charming and cartoony way that's pretty reminiscent of the sharks in Pixar's 'Finding Nemo.' While most of them are based off of real species like the tiger shark, hammerhead, goblin shark, and the infamous White Death itself, their features are exaggerated and they make some of the most comical facial expressions you could imagine. However, it's the sharks that steal the show. The characters also look good there's a fantastic variety of undersea fauna, ranging from tiny little octopuses to giant humpback whales that dwarf most of your sharks. You'll swim through underwater tunnels, explore sunken ships, beach yourself on sandy shores, and weave around inedible pieces of garbage caused by human carelessness. Everything is bright, colorful, detailed, lively and made to feel like a real place. It helps that the levels are not only well-designed, they look amazing too. Overall, hunting, eating and exploring in Hungry Shark World is an enjoyable and, at times, even tense experience. Once you acquire some bigger sharks that are capable of eating them, you can begin expanding your horizons, hunting in more lucrative waters and turning the tables on your former predators. You'll want to avoid their waters if you can help it, but sometimes you just have to take the risk and work around them. Other sharks are going to be your most significant foes, since unlike everything else, they're highly aggressive. Knowing where they spawn is vital to completing your missions, which will add a significant bulk to your experience and gold reserves, both of which are needed to unlock more stuff.Įxploring is also risky because you simply won't be able to eat everything you encounter. Hungry Shark World definitely isn't lacking in variety the many things you can eat include tropical fish, sea turtles, cuttlefish, crabs, birds, divers and beachgoers. The latter point is especially important when we take missions into account, since these often involve you eating certain types of prey. The maps you swim through are pretty large and expansive, filled with all manner of secrets like treasure chests to unlock and different critters to eat. It's a simple formula that's pretty common in mobile games like Agar.io, but it differs from them in that it puts a stronger emphasis on exploration. Not only that, but your health is constantly ebbing away, forcing you to always be on the prowl. Jellyfish pack a painful sting, lionfish are poisonous to eat, barrels of toxic waste will make you sick if you get too close, and other sharks are ready to make a meal out of you. That might sound easy to pull off, but don't be fooled just because you inhabit the upper echelons of the food chain doesn't mean you can't be killed. Your job is to swim around the ocean, eat everything that you can find, and stay alive for as long as possible. The rules of Hungry Shark World are simple: eat or be eaten.
Now all of us can see what it's like to be a perpetually hungry underwater killing machine! All right, maybe that's exaggerating things, but being a shark is still great fun, assuming you're able to get by a few technological hurdles and have the patience of a saint. Fortunately, the good folks over at Future Games of London heeded the call and have produced Hungry Shark World.
