Initial version (2026-05-27)
HUNGER features six playable characters at Early Access launch. Each character, called a Living, has a unique background rooted in the game's Napoleonic setting and a distinct set of passive, tactical, and ultimate abilities. Abilities are not rigidly locked: players customize each character further through deep Mastery trees with over 100 available talents, allowing for wide build variety within and across characters. Additional character types are planned for post-launch updates during Early Access.
Character | Background |
|---|---|
Hugo | A disillusioned French noble |
Eva | A thief raised in the slums of Paris |
Serene | A freedom fighter from a slave uprising in the Caribbean |
Marie | A Cistercian battle nun |
Gabriel | A cavalryman from Napoleon's army |
Unnamed Prussian Mercenary | A mercenary who specializes in repairing and crafting armor |
Every character levels from 1 to 100, unlocking talents through their Mastery tree. Players who wish to explore a radically different build can use additional character slots that unlock at progression milestones, keeping each Living as a distinct identity. The voluntary Prestige mechanic resets a character to level 1 in exchange for exclusive legendary cosmetics, offering an optional route for long-term players.
