About The Host

After a Post-Armageddon event the world has gone back to its roots living in simpler times, back to swords, kings, and war. Something is brewing in the kingdom could it be related to the first apocalyptic event? You are a mercenary looking into the disappearance of two young boys and the sudden reappearance of cultists.

Battle giant creatures popping up all around the world and push back the dark storm engulfing areas taken over by the giants and discover the hidden power of your genetic line. Collect souls and rise in power to match the great council leader and decide which side you stand on based on your actions during quests and Dilemmas set up by the Dilemma demon.

Collect ingredients to upgrade your health, magic bar, or stamina bar and use cooked meals from food found around the world to heal yourself! Use these upgrades to make getting through dungeons easier!

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's fun exploration, rewarding hidden content, and charming Ocarina of Time-inspired design that feels more enjoyable than painful despite its rough edges. Common complaints include basic combat that can feel button-mashy, dated visuals that may turn some away, occasional progression-blocking bugs, and early-game difficulty being too easy (aside from platforming). For the low price, most find it worth experiencing as an entertaining jank adventure with good variety and exploration value.

Sometimes you wanna play some fun jank, and this is one of them. Feels like someone learned programming cause they really liked Ocarina of Time, which isn't a bad thing at all. Lots of hidden stuff, pretty freeform, and from what I've played (including some non-steam time in the demo) it keeps you on your toes with weird stuff all around.

Overall, the game is pretty easy at the beginning though and I mostly died to platforming. I did have some small bugs that blocked progression (like in the crypt fighting the green guy the fight never ended). Edit: The dev has fixed everything I mentioned in my first Update!

It's never straight up unfair, but you do lose your healing items on death so you have to play either perfectly or very carefully. Update 3: I beat this game a bit back and forgot to update my review. I actually really like this game and …

The Host is accually fun. The exploration is entertaining enough to keep me playing and I will play more. I thing it is a good try for 2 dollors. But the visuals arent great and will be a deal breaker for some but i got used to it in just a short while. The combat seems a little basic and plain. All and all I like it for 2 dollors.
