If there’s one thing that the controls in hunting and shooting games really rely on, it’s accuracy, and this is where Deer Hunting King is unfortunately lacking. There are three control schemes available, the default of which makes use of the gyroscope. This adds a fun interactive aspect to the game, but it can be difficult to hold still while trying to line up the perfect headshot. The second method uses the Circle Pad to aim your reticle, with the shoulder buttons used to peer through your scope and the A button to shoot. The Circle Pad works well enough, but it can be a bit sensitive, making sudden jumps that prove problematic when lining up a shot. The third control scheme uses the 3DS’s touchscreen to aim simply by dragging the stylus across it. This is easily the most accurate input method – as evidenced by the fact that this is how almost all of the other 3DS eShop hunting games control – but it still manages to be problematic.Deer Hunting King isn’t a broken game, but it does feel a lot like a stripped-down version of the 3DS eShop hunting sims that came before it. The missions add a much-appreciated sense of purpose, though most of them are recycled over and over again making for a distinct lack of variety. If you’re looking for a new 3DS hunting experience, this one might hold you over for the time being, but bigger and better releases are sure to be just over the horizon.
