The Albino Hunter (Original)

The Albino Hunter (Original) is a compact fantasy RPG that favors eccentric humor and unusual characters over grand spectacle. Developed and published by Cherry Co. Studios, it embraces the recognizable structure of an RPG Maker adventure while giving its world a deliberately odd personality. Instead of presenting another noble hero destined to save civilization, the story follows Kalymn Nox, the self-proclaimed Albino Hunter, whose adventure begins after waking up broke following a night of drinking.

There is no strong narrative thread to follow, making it hard to stay invested in what is happening. Combat also fails to provide any satisfaction, as the game is generally too easy and never gives the impression that your characters are actually becoming stronger. Exploration is usually a key appeal of RPG Maker games, but The Albino Hunter undermines this by occasionally placing the player under time pressure. This clashes badly wi…
