About Hunter's Trial: The fight never ends
Surrounded by fields and an eerie forest, away from the rest of the world, lies something very unusual, a unique location most normal humans do not know about: the Dealain Academy, the school for monster hunters where humans with magical abilities are trained to face possible threats to humanity.
One day, the Academy suffers a surprise attack: a dark figure appears and petrifies all the students at the school. His minions, the Lairg, are one of the meanest enemies of the Academy. The Lairg mean to invade and destroy everything on their path, but unbeknownst to them, three young hunters have evaded the petrification (by skipping class by the way).
Seeing the attack and using their combat prowess, the three hunters face the Lairg, becoming the last and unlikely hope of the Dealain Academy.
Hunter's Trial: The fight never ends is a turn-based tactical RPG inspired by great classics like Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem. Players take control of Shaw, Jade and Gisli, the three worst students of the magical Dealain Academy, facing the evil and mighty Lairg lizards in tactical battles. Along five game stages, players will need to prepare the decks of magic cards that the hunters will use in their battles. Each character has a different set of cards that represent their combat abilities, allowing players to customize each deck to their will. As the hunters progress in the story, new cards will be unlocked.
Shaw
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Traits: Bravado, overconfident, egocentric.
Shaw is quite an egotistical character, although he is ready to take a hit if the need arises. However, his huge overconfidence and rushed decisions will most likely put he and his friends in danger sooner than later.
Background:
Shaw was born and raised in an affluent family, but he also liked to frequent the slums. His training and education have always leaned on the individualistic side. Paired with his natural ego, Shaw's abilities are then very peculiar and dangerous. Despite being apparently an egotistical person, deep down Shaw really appreciates his companions and is willing to take a blow for them.
Gisli
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Traits: Methodical, thoughtful, wise, introvert, free spirit.
Gils's strong point is that he always knows what to do and is in control of every situation. He is a very intuitive person, which keeps him safe. He normally has potions and other magical trinkets around to solve unexpected problems, since both he and his friends have a tendency to attract trouble.
He is also a prudent person, but needs to take his time to think about every decision. As he practices his magic, he becomes stronger and more self-confident.
Background:
Due to his magical condition, Gisli has always got what he wanted, one way or another. His parents always advised him to make good use of his time, since he always left all his duties for the last minute due to lack of interest. At the Academy, things were no different. He befriended the most brilliant students, but also the troublemakers. In the end he started skipping classes because the teachers did not want students to freely use their powers, and he always felt constrained because of the intensity of his magic.
Jade
Gender: Femenine
Age: 19
Traits: Active, violent, aggressive; if there's trouble, she's most likely the cause.
Jade's strong point is that she has nerves of steel, finding quick solutions to different problems (that normally involve violence). However, she has a very short fuse and is no stranger to fights and troubles. The Academy is helping her channel that energy to more useful and productive duties.
Background:
Jade was born in a blue-collar family. She was the first to be able to wield magic, becoming the pride of the family. She was accepted into Dealain Academy thanks to her parents reassuring the teachers that she was indeed a good girl. She spends most classes uninterested in the matter. That doesn't necessarily mean she is a bad student though, she just likes to focus on the most aggressive and violent stuff, feeling very odd in classes about protection and shields. She also attends all the classes about traps, poisons and ambushes, which she finds extremely interesting.
After discovering the Lairg attack, Jade joins forces with Shaw and Gisli to defeat Zasalael and save Dealain Academy.

Hunter's Trial: The fight never ends is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from ESAT in Spain. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. This is a turn-based, tactical RPG. The story involves a monster hunter school, Delain Academy, under attack. You control three unlikely heroes who must defend the school from the Lairg. Gameplay involves preparing decks of magic cards for each character to use in tactical battles throughout five stages. The gameplay is ploddingly slow, the game wasn't polished or even…2 found this helpful
Poor instructions, horrible noise (supposedly music) couldn't get past tutorial. Waste of time1 found this helpful
Hunter's Trial: The fight never ends — это динамичная экшн-приключенческая игра с элементами выживания. Геймплей сочетает быстрые бойки, сложные головоломки и напряжённые квесты в атмосферном мире. Графика детализированная, но не перегружена — отлично смотрится даже на слабых устройствах. Сюжет полон поворотов, что держит в напряжении до финала. Управление интуитивное, но требует времени для освоения. Игра сложная, но захватывающая: каждая смерть — урок, а победа — заслуженная. Рекомендую тем, кто любит азарт и не боится вызовов.
Yikes. Way too slow. Characters all say the same thing. Special effects are... not special. I know it's a free game, but it's rough. Really rough.
