About
In the vast wilderness of South Africa's Northern Province, a battle is raging between the ruthless poachers who seek to exploit the region's natural resources, and the dedicated game rangers who are determined to protect the animals and preserve the beauty of the land. "Poached: Hunt The Hunter" puts you in the shoes of a game ranger, tasked with defending the nature reserve from the poachers who seek to destroy it.
Here you must fight to survive. It’s man versus beast versus man versus man. And if you’re no stranger to danger, come play as a ranger fighting off armies of ruthless poachers with nothing but your wits, harsh language, braai tongs and an arsenal of weapons that would make any arms dealer green with envy. You wake up in your camp, make breakfast, get your orders and shoot poachers on sight using high powered automatic weapons. Simple. Or you skip breakfast, that’s up to you. Or you chase chickens around for half an hour, grow hallucinogenic plants in the shed, spend the day barbequing goat chops to perfection, race ostriches or rescue lost rangers stuck in trees, I’m not going to tell you how to live your life. You play it your way. This is the POACHED experience.

The game has currently been in development for approximately 3 Years, and will be releasing into Early Access for a dollar-store price.
The Early Access process will last another 3 years to ensure maximum compatibility with all systems and best possible experience.
The price will remain low and fair as agreed by the community at all times of the development phase and full transparency is always ensured. The games development is fully self funded and I encourage players to rather not buy the game until it's out of early access unless they want to be involved in the development process and instead download the free demo while waiting for the finished game! The demo itself will be regularly updated as the main game branch is updated for free forever.
The game already currently has a great community behind it with over 100+ Private Beta testers that have helped steer development since the projects inception in 2020. Please feel free to join in on the discussions on our Steam Forums and make sure to play the Free Demo now!!!

watched Oboeshoes on youtube play this game and it lives up to the hype. Great game from a single dev
It's the second game of this developer and it's a huge improvement. While it may be not packed with a tonn of content, it keeps improving both visually & mechanically. Bugs are constantly getting fixed, new features added. Nov `24 edit: game has now more features and achievements
I was an anti-poaching ranger volunteer in South Africa in 2018. This game has a lot of Afrikaans cultural nuances and stuff, that brought back memories of my time over there. It's also a wacky game full of hidden stuff and surprises. I quite enjoyed it. I have just one suggestion, I don't know if you're continuing to add to the game, but bringing awareness to the truth of rhino poaching in SA in the game could add to the conservation effort. Trying to get my ranger okes to check this out too!

Went out to go murder some poachers. After killing four poachers, I went back to my base and saw there were intruders. Murdered all of them and cleaned the base. Went back to my shelter, downloaded this game and played it. It's a moer lekker game.
dis kak lekker
If far cry 2 was a good game it would be Poached: Hunt The Hunter. Don't let the graphics deceive you, while quality is as questionable as you can guess, it's somewhat charming and fun for it's price.
A solid mission-based action game. While the moment to moment gunplay isnt my favorite due to it devolving into trading blows until someone runs out of hp, the sense of fun and mystery is more than enough to keep me going. Every mission has fun dialog, small things around the map keep changing in odd ways, there's secret locations and such to discover, it's a good time. The music is especially good, i've never heard african ska before, but i like it.Tthe ost by Senkhane Montsitsi is alot of fun (i wish i could find it streaming somewhere.) There's a great deal of focus on oddball humor, which i found very fun. The radio stations have personality, and listening to a metal head rant himself into a heart attack while i'm hiding behind my truck in a gunfight was a magical experience. This is a solid game, even if it wasn't just 3 dollars. Def worth checking out.
Honestly speaking, this is probably one of the games I would never have bought. 28mins in I can say this is money well spent. Moerse lekker game worth every cent. Well done dev team, South-Africa represent!
This gave me big far cry 2 malaria(vibe) W
very good representation for south Africa goeie werk manne
