    I've downloaded this game without any research and expectation. And I had a ton of fun! Gameplay is unique and requires non obvious skill set. Because game is new, after short playing you can really feel good and competent again other players.

    Camera controls is a little bit clumsy, but I consider pressing "reset camera" button as part of the skill.

    Wow!

    Some of the replies and ratings here are really unfair, its a free game which is easy to jump into and out.

    Fast paced action and you dont need to be a pro to enjoy what it offers.

    Simple and fun game, its not perfect nor a AAA title but its does what games should do which is allow you to enjoy the offering without much worries :)

    No wonder this game was given away as a free game. Feels like Korean/Chinese shovelware.

Controls are the most un-intuitive and movement/fighting is just about getting spammed and super clunky. No way to rebind their horrible control system. No real tutorial and the horrible UI and menus don't help. Impossible to see what your spells and abilities do without going to training and memorizing, no way to know items you pick up quickly or what they do due to the UI problems. Just feels like a sloppy beta game. Even the game itself is just fighting basic bots on these small boring looking areas where you get ganked from the side. Camera and movements are slow and sluggish as well and for a melee fighter game it just feels like the systems are set up to the the opposite instead of being well made like a "blade symphony". I got it for free and it wasn't even worth it because I wouldn't be getting the time I wasted on it back. 4/10.… Expand

    Hunters Arena stumbles while trying hard at doing something different in the crowded Battle Royale genre.

The controls are janky, the servers are laggy, and the inability to exit a match after defeat is especially a big problem. We shouldn't have to spectate our opponents in order to receive the XP we've earned each game. I'll love to return if these problems are addressed in the near future.… Expand

    Apex Legends has set the BR standard so high that these type of slow, sluggish games with no discernable personality are very unfun. I would have never ever even tried it if this wasn't the Ps Plus game this month, and boy I was right. Ever if they fix all the bugs, it's just like For Honor, but not even that interesting.

    Edit: they finally listened people and fixed that look sensitivity. Only thing to do is allow player to change his/her own buttons. The game has so weird options and there is all 2 of them. Make it like the rest of the good games, few options + must have cutomization.

    It’s a masterpiece, I’ve been playing this games for over a week, it’s amazing, it’s a blessing that is available for free with a PS Plus subscription, I fully recommend playing it

    This game is rather unimpressive, even for $20 it plays like a PlayStation 2 game. Very un-engaging combat and ordinary art style

    The game probably hasn't come out of Alpha testing yet. The number of bugs and errors is striking. The theory many characters and skills, on practice one-button spamming and one OP character. Control stupid and not intuitive without the possibility of changing to your own. The game has a long way to go. should be F2P.

    This game is good, if was an beta, a lot of bugs, and controls that don't work well with the gameplay. Grateful that this game came on plus, it's not worth 16 dollars.

    Cons: Microtransactions are way overpriced; currency is hard to earn without spending real money; learning curve to get good is a bit steep.
    Overall, it's a fun game and worth trying out. I would actually score it a 7 or 8 out of 10 but I gave it a 9 to offset some of the ridiculously low scores on here.    … Expand

The only thing that could be improved is the in game purchases that would work out better if the game went with more modern approach of making the game free to play and skins available to be bought with real money. Instead the game is £16, but you can get everything in the game by just grinding it out, which is not bad, but most people won't risk spending money on a new game from an unknown developer,so I think it's costing them a lot of potential players.… Expand

    If the game had a open or type of open world map/mode it would also make a good addition but overall it is a fun game in need of minor tweaks but so far its good.

The game has no pacing or story and looks nothing like a next gen game. It’s a ps3 game disguised as a ps5 game with $100 micro transactions designed to get your children draining your bank account. The only reason this game was made is because little kids think it’s good because they don’t know any better and then every couple months these little kids get mommies permission to spend $1000 a year on their custom cosmetics.… Expand

    After 26 hours of gameplay (on PS5) and with a platinum trophy almost completed, i can finally give a review to this game.

    GRAPHIC (Rating 6/10) : I’m not gonna waste to much time here. The graphics is good for characters but nothing special about environment, particles and visual effects.

    GRAPHIC (Rating 6/10) :
    I’m not gonna waste to much time here. The graphics is good for characters but nothing special about environment, particles and visual effects.

    INTERFACE (Rating 4/10):
    The interface is very simple, easy to navigate but when you start queue for a match, the game don’t allow the player to change window and check other features.
    I’m a player that like to check other in game features while waiting the matchmaking, like checking other characters skills or shop offers. Not having the possibility to do that is a big loss.

    COMBAT (Rating 2/10):
    The mechanics are simple, it’s a battle royale after all, you have to fight against other players and monsters and being the last one standing. BUT! The combat is slow and clunky, hard to combo skills and basic attack. Most of the time, a fight against another player is just a spam of basic attacks. The first who hit gonna gain an insane advantage, forcing the other to use the evade skill or the block skill. In both cases it gonna end up again in a run and catch with basic attacks where the first who hit again, gonna win.
    The skills are slow on activation, especially the ultimate skill it’s almost useless because the enemy player will avoid 90% of the time. Many times i saw my skills hitting the enemy but doing no damage, like i was fighting a ghost. Most of the time it happens with Jun’s grab sword.
    The terrain is a trap for ranged character, fighting monsters or players on a slope terrain, will make your attacks going under the terrain texture, resulting into a missing hit. You need to target lock the player and wait a second before start the combo to avoid this problem, but while doing that you risk to being killed.

    CHARACTERS BALANCE (Rating 0/10):
    Not much to say, play Dalgi, Jun, Momo, Wukong and Ara sometimes, i rarely saw the other characters. Dalgi is really broken, even if its a melee, it’s hard to run from her. The balance in this game not exists at all, even if each character skill set is well structured (e.g. all characters have the main CC on the L1+Square skill), some have just a bigger hit box that will make them easy to be killed, while others have skill animations that looks buggy and lags (e.g. Dalgi L1+X).
    The skills descriptions are poor and most of the time not explain correctly what the skill can do.
    For example the L1+Triangle of Wukong, should evade an attack while leaving a clone and turn you invisible, well, if you are targeting the enemy, that skill make your character dash at the enemy and becoming invisible, also, any attack that reach wukong while the animation is ongoing wont’ be evaded, but will do damage. The same for the pole skill, the description says it makes Wukong invincible while on his pole but it’s not true.

    The basic idea was cool, i’ve always waited for a battle royale game that take action inside a fantasy world with RPG aspects, instead of always be an FPS game or TPS, but sadly that’s not the title that i was looking for…    … Expand
