* KillEnemiesToOpen: In ''2013'', some exits only open after killing certain number of animals.



* TheThemeParkVersion: The recent games are not hunting simulators, but rather arcade-style shooters. Think ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' or ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' with real-life animals instead of the military.

* DarkerandEdgier: ''Dangerous Hunts 2011'' is by far the darkest title in the series. While the previous games had plenty of violence and , they still had either comical characters (like [[ButtMonkey Reginald]] in ''Dangerous Hunts 2'') or a sense of victory at the end. ''Dangerous Hunts 2011'', on the other hand, has almost zero comedy and features a more violent story with themes of abusive parenting and a much more hopeless atmosphere, with supernatural overtones and the death of every character other than the protagonist Cole. Also, while the Kaftar is apparently killed at the end, it doesn't truly feel like victory since Cole has still lost everyone in his life and is now alone.

Added DiffLines:

* GoodParents: In contrast to Samson from ''Dangerous Hunts 2011'', who has some [[AbusiveParents very questionable parenting methods]], Ned from ''Dangerous Hunts 2013'' is a fun, loving and supportive father to his two sons. His death greatly affects said sons and causes a rift in their relationship for many years.

* AnimalisticAbomination: The Kaftar in ''Dangerous Hunts 2011'' is seen as this by the Ugandan villagers who have been tormented by it's attacks for generations. The game itself, however, never reveals [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane if it truly is a demonic beast out for human blood or something less supernatural]].

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Flint Abrahams is capable of feats of strength that no normal human should logically be able to do. He pushes a fully grown male lion off of him with just his legs, lifts a large black caiman with just one arm (stabbing its throat with a knife), and pushes off a bull moose's head as it tries to crush him with its antlers.

* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Obviously averted with the big dangerous herbivores (like buffalo or rhinos), but herbivores like deer or antelope seem to generally flee. Averted even then with some elk that appear in ''Dangerous Hunts 2009''.

I thought Heinous Hyena might better fit with the tropes listed under Animals Hate Him.


** HeinousHyena: In addition to the typical spotted hyenas appearing as enemies in the African levels (and occasional striped hyenas in India in ''2009''), the Kaftar resembles a beefed-up, larger version of a striped hyena.

Averted with Jacob in ''Dangerous Hunts 2013'', who regularly talks in both cutscenes and gameplay, and with Flint in ''Dangerous Hunts 2009''.
