    Hunters Legacy
    Beautiful and Dull at the same time
    Hunters Legacy is a Metroidvania styled 2d platformer featuring a cat named ikki You’re equipped with a sword and a bow and you spend the rest of the game teleporting to 20 different locations in search of the fang of alliance to restore balance in this cat filled land… And in Metroidvania style this is all about trying to figure out    Hunters Legacy

    Hunters Legacy is a Metroidvania styled 2d platformer featuring a cat named ikki
    You’re equipped with a sword and a bow
    and you spend the rest of the game teleporting to 20 different locations in search of the fang of alliance to restore balance in this cat filled land…
    And in Metroidvania style this is all about trying to figure out where you’re supposed to be going…
    throwing switches.. checking every direction…
    searching for gems and ores to upgrade your weapons and health…
    a bunch of back tracking and dealing with a bunch of annoying enemies along the way…
    The platforming, the wall jumping... the arrows...
    everything about this games works fine…
    but I feel its missing soul…
    The game is beautiful... the different environments are great to look at
    the game just isn’t fun to play through...
    From the bosses to the traversing…
    The combat...
    There’s nothing new here...
    There’s nothing to make this anything other than a 6 hours grind to the credits
    combat feels numbing and frustrating...
    you can roll, slash, and shoot arrows…
    but it never feels swift or satisfying… just there…
    And in encounters you feel like you’re taking damage at no fault to you....
    I felt like I had to get lucky at moments to get from check point to checkpoint... which annoyingly doesn’t refill your health.
    Instead you have to rely on random fish drops from enemies…
    I did ultimately appreciate the checkpoints though...
    they are frequent enough and the game actually remembers when you throw switches so it doesn’t force you to do it again if you die on your way back which is nice…
    If you’re itching for a new metroidvania in your life...
    Hunters Legacy is in a very playable state…
    but don’t expect anything other than an alright experience...
    There’s no magic here…
    And the story and characters aren’t intriguing enough to justify a playthrough on their own..
    This game is strictly for metroidvania fans and no one else…
    I Give Hunters Legacy

    Hunter’s Legacy is competent enough, but doesn’t do enough to stand out in a crowded market.

    Hunter’s Legacy is not a bad game by any stretch. In fact, there are a lot of games out there that wishes it could control as tight as this one. It’s just not going to blow anyone away with really anything it does. I never disliked my time with it, but the backtracking and lack of a decent map was a disappointment.

    If you’re looking for a difficult game and nothing else, Hunter’s Legacy delivers in the end. Parts of it are fun, but so much of the game feels like a missed opportunity, especially in terms of its plot, characterization, and world-building. The relentless gameplay near the end does nothing to redeem Hunter’s Legacy from what it’s ultimately missing.
