Graphically, Hunter looks OK in spots, but the game slows down, even when playing alone. Adding more players to the mix certainly doesn't help matters. The character models and monsters look passable, but they certainly lack flair and aren't particularly well animated. Perhaps the best thing to be said about the game's look is that its cutscenes look pretty nice. Moreover, there are a few effects here and there that also look good.
Redeemer doesn't look very good, showing off some unsightly slowdown at times.
Redeemer sounds good, but much like the graphics, nothing on the audio side of the presentation really stands out. The gunshots and sounds of combat present themselves as they should, and the game's voices are good. The game's music is also decent, but again, not specifically noteworthy.
Overall, Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer is a pretty standard Gauntlet-like hack-and-slash. It lacks the depth of games like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, but it never pretends to have any real RPG component. If you're in search of a cooperative action game to play with friends, Hunter works, but it certainly isn't the most exciting game in town.
