Dachs Hunter

+Music is decent (trailer music is not!) +Player choice -Plays slow, feels clumsy -UX/UI is pain = Neutral review, but since I would not recommend such game for myself, I won't do it to you either.

This is more of a neutral review... art direction is bad, the bosses are overpowered and annoying, the movement is incredibly slow. the game overall is not that bad, but pretty amateur.

A very adorable and polished game in the Survivor Bullet Heaven genre. You are a dachs humanoid wizard who fights against horde of enemies in medium sized arena. The game progression is well balanced, you constantly unlock things in game, like new skills, Meta progress, characters. On the map event popup randomly with markers show what give you temporal buffs, heal, currency, skills. Rare enemies drop items what you equip in whole mission. There is minigames also for some new skill unlock what is a welcome little change and gladly not annoyingly difficult, well fit the game cozy aproach. All endboss have unique attack patterns what keep you on your toes. The dealt and received hits are well visible and audible for good feedbacks. The game is visualy clean. The Devs are nice and listen on players feedbacks and the price is very acceptable. Recommened game in this ever growing genre.

This is the game that taught me that bullet hells can be cosy!

Certainly not for me.

Dachs Hunter is an indie action roguelite that embraces the popular survivor-style formula while adding a playful fantasy twist through its unlikely hero, a spellcasting dachshund named Pitty. Developed and published by HFBros, the game focuses on fast-paced combat, constant character growth, and a steady stream of unlockables that encourage players to jump into run after run.

The core gameplay revolves around surviving enemy hordes while building increasingly powerful combinations of elemental spells. Each session is designed to be relatively compact, making it easy to complete a run without committing to several hours at a time. This structure works well because it allows players to quickly test different approaches, learn enemy patterns, and discover new synergies. The large collection of spells serves as the foundation of the experience, giving players numerous ways to customize their build. Whether focusing on a single element or mixing multiple magical disciplines together, ther…
