Eldritch Hunter is a challenging action platformer with attractive hand-drawn art and memorable music that most players enjoy for its short playtime and strategic gameplay. However, opinions are mixed on difficulty, with some finding the boss fights frustratingly hard and others praising the challenge, while several note the game feels short or somewhat basic despite its engaging mechanics.
[h1] Bland visuals. Gameplay works but sucks a bit. Skip. [/h1]3 found this helpful

I don't know if I should be reviewing a game as I haven't even defeated the first boss fight, but I'm gonna anyway. Eldritch Hunter is one of those challenging niche games with we play as a girl saving her city from a swarm of monstrosities, all with unique attacks that can one-kill you even when they died, so this game is all about planning out strategy and dodging projectile to survive to kill the cultist summoner. The main game is simple and quite easy enough, but when it comes to the boss fight, or at least the first one for me, that's another story I and 90% of players would tell later. Overall, I love the gorgeous hand-brushed art style with a planned-out colour palette with the enemies being purplish and the instrumental soundtracks I can't help humming to. I would be updating this review once I found the time to invest a month or even a year into this game because I know it would take a while for me to complete, but so far I'm not regretting my purchase of this unique game.1 found this helpful
Reminds me a lot of the game "Super Meat Boy" but with guns. Love the art and the music. But it is a little short, and it does feel like a flash game.1 found this helpful
Fun short platformer game that's a bit puzzle-ly at times.
Difficult and really good action game. This is how ADCs from League would be played if they had their own game.
