    Hunt the Night is a challenging but rewarding game that rewards players with new gear, timing, and skill. It takes place in a world where humans and monsters live in a cycle, where humans come together to stop the cycle. Dialogue in the game is intentionally vague and just enough to set the tone of the world. The story and gameplay of Hunt the Night are well-done, with a mix of melee and ranged combat with dodging.

    Bloodborne meets Legend of Zelda worked out much better than I would’ve ever hoped. The bosses can have quite the malicious edge to them, especially a supremely sadistic second boss, and the platforming can be, quite literally, hit or miss. Nonetheless, the combat is so fluid but focused that it’s hard not to fall in love with how it handles. Cleaving apart zombies, then immediately whipping around to pistol-snipe a wolf all set to a firm and punchy soundtrack is just icing on the cake, especially with the added flavor the better bosses bring to the table.

    Hunt the Night requires a lot of skill and a lot of patience, but becomes more enjoyable once you learn how everything works. Everything looks, sounds, and controls great, and you’ll definitely begin to feel the challenge even in the opening areas of the game. Between the interesting puzzles and multiple ways to customize your loadout for dealing with enemies, Hunt the Night is an enjoyable game, though frustrating at times. If you’re up for a challenge, Hunt the Night will definitely put your skills to the test.

    Hunt the Night is an incredibly challenging and fun action game. Progression relies heavily on the player’s skill and understanding of enemy attack telegraphs to avoid damage. Sure, you’ll die a lot, but the knowledge gained from each encounter will keep you alive until the boss fights. Puzzle also has some depth to them, requiring players to be immersed in the world to solve the trials. Luckily, this is easy, thanks to the detailed lore found throughout the game world.

    Hunt the Night is a beautiful game that crafts a haunting atmosphere and an engrossing world. Despite some uneven design, the desire to unravel Medhram’s mysteries and see the next inventive boss fight kept me engaged until the end of the 15-hour adventure. If you can stomach the frustrating combat elements, there is a lot to enjoy in Vesper’s quest.

    An intense gameplay from fast phased souls-like combat, as well as visuals and scores that complete the dark fantasy worldview, are definitely a satisfactory. However, some of the elements such as insufficient accessibility functions and unclear map composition are still preventing players to immerse themselves.

    Combat can be fatiguing rather than stimulating, and frustrations are plentiful. But underneath it all is a game with potential, influenced by an assortment of classics. Hunt the Night, but only if you are tolerant and can forgive some conspicuous imperfections.

    When it went on sale I had expectations, since the art of the game caught my attention, but I did not think that it would exceed my expectations by far, with incredible settings, attention to detail, with a gameplay and soundtrack cared for with great care. , and above all, with some final bosses that without a doubt more than one will remember (both for the combat and design, and for the time it took me to defeat it hahaha).

    If you see Hunt The Night and it reminds you of a Zelda with touches of Souls and Bloodborne aesthetics, you won't be mistaken, and I assure you that the experience is well worth it.

    At the moment it becomes one of my favorite indies of 2023.    … Expand

Hat mich in den 10 Stunden durchaus animiert immer wieder weiter die Story voranzubringen. Paar Schwächen gerade im Hinblick auf die Rollenspiel Aspekte wie z.B. Waffen, Rüstungen und Skills und deren Nutzen sowie der EP bzw. Coins die man von den Mobs erhält. Die man für so gut wie nichts einsetzen kann. Des Weiteren waren einige Übersetzungsfehler bzw. garkeine Übersetzungen vorhanden. Wären diese Aspekte noch verbessert, wäre es noch ein viel besseres Spiel geworden. So allerdings war es definitiv auch sein Geld wert.… Expand

    So, I played Hunt the Night and got all the achievements on Steam, but honestly, I wasn't too impressed. I thought it would be amazing because the art looked cool, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The settings were okay, I guess, but they weren't as magical as Mario's colorful worlds. And the little details? Well, they were there, but they didn't really add much to the overall experience.

    The gameplay and music were just average. It didn't feel as fun or exciting as playing Mario. The controls were okay, but they weren't as tight and responsive as I would have liked. And the music, well, it was forgettable. Nothing really stood out or got me pumped up like the iconic Mario tunes.

    Now, let's talk about the final bosses. They were tough, I'll give them that. But they were frustrating and didn't feel as satisfying to defeat as Mario's big bad Bowser. It took me a long time to beat them, and it wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been.

    If you're expecting Hunt the Night to be like Mario, with its charm and joy, you'll be disappointed. It just doesn't have that same magic. It falls short in comparison, and I can't say it's one of my favorite indie games of 2023. I'd rather go back to playing Mario and having a blast.    … Expand
