About Hunt the Night
Hunt the Night is a retro-style action-RPG that blends fast, skillful combat with dark fantasy lore. Play as Vesper, a member of the Stalkers, and traverse the ruined world of Medhram on a mission to save humanity from a deadly cycle of annihilation. Endure nightmarish overworlds, slash through horrific dungeons, face brutal bosses, and wield an arsenal of powers in a relentless struggle against the Night itself. STORYIn the 9th Age, humanity is trapped in a vicious cycle on the verge of extinction. The day is ruled by humans, while the Night brings annihilation by horrid creatures. A group of humans called ‘The Stalkers’ once wielded power to hold back the horrors, but their sacrifice only delayed the inevitable.Now, as the Night starts devouring every single glint of light, Vesper, a Stalker by right and daughter of a traitor, will travel a dying land trying to save the last embers of humanity. She hunts in a race against destiny, as the shadows lengthen both in the world and in her mind. Dash through enemies while you unleash your combos, use your weapons or destroy them with your dark powers. You can switch between melee and ranged attack in quick succession: slashing enemies with your sword and then dashing away to use your ranged weapons, avoiding enemy attacks. Endure the ultimate challenge as you fight the ancient horrors of the Night that have been annihilating humanity over and over in intense boss battles. Learn their weak points, attack patterns and survive through the different combat phases as the battle gets more challenging and extreme. Create your own build that will adapt not only to your prefered gameplay but also to particular bosses. Customize the upgrades of your arsenal and use the equipment that best suits your gameplay: Critical Damage, Life Steal, Poison, Close Combat, Firepower and more. Collect Sanguine vials, Crow Feathers, Moonstones and Noctilium to increase your stats and get ready to face the Night. Explore Medhram in a combination of action-adventure and dark fantasy lore. Survive huge dungeons full of traps, enemies, puzzles and challenges. Discover all kinds of locations, from ancient cathedrals and libraries of knowledge to lost kingdoms and devastated floating cities. Accept a hunt at ‘Crow’s Nest’ and track down the dark beast, find where it hides and hunt the most powerful creatures of the Night. After every completed hunt you will get rewards that will increase your health and dark energy bar. Meet new characters and discover their tragic past and stories in a world that is on the brink of the abyss.

OK-ish game with potential that was never realized. Gameplay itself it fine, but repetitive. The devs failed with itemization. Very few items, and even those are not very exciting. Spells are complete fail. Long CDs, and overall they are nothing to look forward. There are also not that many enemy types, for most of the game you are killing the same things over and over again. A bit repetitive. Story is a mess, and I do not even understand the connection with the last boss. Was I not paying attention to the story enough. Really weird. They have failed in storytelling really hard. Most of the time you are solving puzzles in the form of which lever to press first, finding keys and such. Pretty simplistic. The difficulty is low to medium, with a bit of effort you can easily beat most of the bosses in a few tries. The game could have been much better with more sensible gamedev decisions. There were some super minor bugs, but nothing gamebreaking. 6,5/10.5 found this helpful

its amazing souls like
i like this game but unfortunately had to drop it. The world is designed in such a way that you typically have to backtrack too much, while going through multiple combat scenarios, to get to where you died. The combat isn't even particularly hard, but the game has the tendency to spring combat rooms on you with no warning, with no regard for your healing supplies or the nearest checkpoint.
Think of a Link (Zelda) game and mix Bloodborne (thought I've never played that game). Honestly, watch a review. If the gameplay and aesthetic interest you, you're going to love the game. I think the character sprites and text isn't up to par with other pixel games, but the controls and movement are buttery smooth. No parries in this game. All dodging and you got stamina fuel for days. ~~After completing the game~~ It seems like this game is unfinished. There a lot of stuff that seems like should be been in the game that either isn't or just ignored. Most NPCs don't update their dialogue after story events. Your alter ego seemed to be building to be something that ultimately never happens. There are multiple bosses with mechanics that were never balanced to regular play or throw in mechanics without warning the player never ever using them again. (The Mother fight and fight with the doppleganger). The made the default gun worthless on a few fights and there isn't much reason to use the crossbow. You get mulitiple weapons but you really only have 3 versions of the 5 weapons (though lowkey only 4 weapons). You have a sword, dual knives, basically gauntlets (different AoE dual …
Underrated gem alert.While not perfect by any means,Hunt the night oozes personality by meshing the gameplay of classic Zelda and the presentation of Bloodborne.
