About Layer Hunt
Layer Hunt is a survival sandbox and dungeon game where the goal is to survive and hunt down all the bosses. To reach your goal you will have to mine, craft, build, farm, fight and explore for new abilities and resources. The world is broken up through many different layers that each offer new enemies, minerals and dungeons to explore. To progress, the player must explore all these layers and eliminate each layer's boss to finally beat the game.
- Layer based dungeon system - Explore underground layers to hunt down bosses and enemies in their fortified dungeons. Defeat the boss to unlock the next layer where you will find new resources and more difficult challenges.
- Combat - Craft your own weapons and spells with the resources you found. Learn new abilities called Knowledges which you may find scattered across the world in enemy camps.
- Survival sandbox - Search the underground layers to gather ores, abilities and magic orbs for spellcrafting for better survival. Or travel the different biomes to gather wood, food or other resources to build yourself a base for protection.
- Procedural generation - Explore a procedural generated world for a new experience every time you play
- Building and farming - Build your own house to secure a safe space for your resources and farms. Craft new furniture or use your obtained treasures to decorate your house, and of course build a railway system to connect to your friends' houses to show it off!
- Multiplayer - Play with your friends in a maximum group of 8
- More layers - More underground layers with unique monsters and bosses
- Overworld - Additional content on the different biomes
- Items - New items and abilities

- And more...

Shovelware. Some game elements are so unclear that you'll end up being unable to progess unless you guess and get lucky.1 found this helpful
There's potential for this game however there are some elements such as the enemies somehow being able to hit through walls (even in caves), item deterioration, and character stats that need to be adjusted. Needs more time in the oven.
This game wasn't very fun. I walked around and collected stuff. Then I tried to craft stuff, but the crafting menu was difficult to navigate. Then I wondered what I was even doing in this world playing in this game? It takes ideas of minecraft and 2d procedurally generated games, and leaves you with nothing to do. Didn't have fun, all I did was run away from people who wanted to kill me. 0/10
the game has some annoying bugs and the combat needs some improvement. the balance is a little rough with very limited resources in mines and with respawning enemies each night it makes you run out of good weapons quickly. when you save the game there's no visual confirmation, something that makes me wonder if it's even saving. the controls menu doesn't show up for me, i have no way of changing buttons. since the game is free i'd say if you like this type of game, give it a try, but it's a punishing experience and not that enjoyable. the grind isn't too bad, but it's not all that fun to play, theres very limited crafting, something that makes the game feel a bit pointless. certain areas say that they are for level 2 or 3, but i can't find any way to see my own level, so i'm guessing it's based on equipment, however i did notice i got new abilities every now and then, so maybe i'm just not finding it. there is also no map in the underground areas, so you've got to pay attention to where it teleports you when you enter to find your way back, the compass seems kind of useless sometimes. a drawn map or something would be a much better feature. haven't gotten into trying the farming…
