rusty-hearts-natashaThe most recent patch of Rusty Hearts by Perfect World Entertainment has brought us a new character: the gunslinger Natasha. Easily enough said, her animésque figure has guns and a gun-rack to go along with it—but we’re going to stay away from the really risqué jokes about how females get portrayed in a lot of video game art. Kyt Dotson over at GameOgre is covering a first look at her released character,

Rusty Hearts is a dungeon crawler and brawler, also up-‘til-now most characters have been melee fighters with little range to them—Natasha is the opposite: she’s a ranged attacker with some melee strikes. Like most of the character she has two weapon modes: she starts with a pair of revolvers (or pistols) and can change over to a rifle (or musket.) I’ve only played her with the twin pistols; but I suspect that when wielding a musket she has a slower fire-rate but higher damage.

Oh yes, I’m sure that plenty of people will be making breast jokes about her “guns” from here on out so steel yourself for the onslaught.

Needless to say, she’s a pretty solid ranged character with a lot of interesting new animations and a strong presence on the screen.

Also, pretty much three out of four new characters right now are Natasha.
