    At its core it's a combo heavy fighting game, but in a battle royale map, and with moba elements like jungling and abilities.

You have to be a fan of all of those genres to start to enjoy this game. So for a single-player gamer like me who is not skilled with competitive pvp, it's a lot to adapt to. But I do crave new experiences, so as a free ps plus game I found this game quite attractive. The game looks gorgeous on a ps5, character designs and their ability animations look beautiful, and any dev that takes the hard route of bringing fresh ideas to the table deserve attention. I will be happy to see a growing player base and content, but the way it's looking I predict a cult following.

    Like any competitive game, this one requires hundreds of hours to be invested. But right now what is holding me back is the control jank on a ps controller. There is no button remapping right now, you can only choose between two presets. And unless you press L2 (to run) after each time you do something, the character does a useless slow and sliding walk. This for me is a dealbreaker. Gameplay in general feels quite stiff. The last two games I played are Returnal and Chivalry 2 and compared to their fluidity and responsiveness, this one seems primitive.

    I will put a few more hours to see if I am starting to master the jank. If not, I will put it aside and maybe revisit if the game is doing well. If you have ps plus, there is no reason to not try it. There is a lot of ps plus games that I don't pay attention to, but this one is absolutely worth a try. It is definitely not for everyone, but may resonate with you.    … Expand

    I played the game for a couple of hours and here is my review.

    Graphics: 6/10 Graphics are not bad at all and I don't have much to say about it. Gameplay: 3/10 While playing there is no locking to the enemy (if there is, I should have been told in tutorial because I completed it) and you do not feel connection against the enemy unless you can hit him.

    Graphics are not bad at all and I don't have much to say about it.

    Gameplay: 3/10
    While playing there is no locking to the enemy (if there is, I should have been told in tutorial because I completed it) and you do not feel connection against the enemy unless you can hit him. If you jump to the spikes you instantly die but if you jump over an area which does not have spikes, even if you fall from Mountain Everest you don't die. Also, beginning of battle royal is weird. You jump and float in air in a weird way.

    Content: 6/10
    There is a good amount of skills and characters in the game. You can but outfit for the characters (I don't know if are they bought by real money or game money though). By killing npcs you can drop items and equip them automatically, however it does not change appereance. There are 3 game modes. 2 of them battle royale (one is alone the other is trio) and the other is tag match mode.    … 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.
