    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really boring game. There's nothing to do on the maps really. You can either have really boring battles against AI's, or just be fodder for better players. If you haven't been obsessively playing it since it came out on PC, you'll never live long enough to get any better. Don't waste your time or money… Expand

    Game felt like early PS4 Gen. Definitely feels like a PC port, controls, combos and traversal are not smooth. Didn’t have reliable consistent engagements with PvP and the PVE was like a PS3 game. Defiantly got owned by PC players coming over, didn’t really enjoy anything in 5 hour of playing and content instanta death near the end of the match after grinding up.

    It's enough the tutorial to understand how bad is this game.
    The worst thing is that Sony gives away this crap, wrapping it up as a gift. Trust me guys, don't waste your time with this scam

    The game feels unpolished.
    Controls are bad, gameplay is dull, combo moves don’t interact with enemies and it honestly feels like they could have spent more time mastering the fighting system before publishing the game.
    That walk speed - turtle + snail = sloth speed. My experience so far with the game has been dull with no need to progress. The game is trying to be the next Nioh without    The game feels unpolished.

    My experience so far with the game has been dull with no need to progress. The game is trying to be the next Nioh without the polished gameplay.

    Side note: You can tell this is going to be a pay to win game just buy looking at it. It’s got that Chinese game design feel to it (lots of mentions of coins) All in all the Developers could have done better to ensure the game meets PS5 expectations but hey.. lately I haven’t seen a game worthy of that Next Gen title….    … Expand

    Awful controls and bad queue times results in honestly one of the worst games I've played in some time. .

    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

    Hunter's Arena Legends is nothing more than a jumble of elements from different genres mixed without the right criteria.

    Hunter's Arena: Legends is a fun battle royale with a combat system which is easy to learn but hard to master. Unfortunately, some technical flaws and the wild grinding make the game clumsy and reduce the scope of the project.
