Demonheart: Hunters

Demonheart: Hunters — это попытка создать не просто визуальную новеллу, а полноценную RPG. И я могу похвалить автора за смелость и амбициозность. Сражения в игре не впечатляют и даже могут раздражать. Зато история представляет собой вариацию событий, которые произошли после оригинальной новеллы Demonheart, и в качестве своеобразного эпилога выглядит неплохо. Это небольшое приключение с участием знакомых героев, где учитываются наши выборы. И, конечно, прекрасный голос сэра Браша добавляет игре особую атмосферу.

A fun expansion on the Demonheart mythos! While it's not a great example of an isoRPG, its definitely worth a play if you're interested in seeing more of Bright and her potential love interests from the first game. You get to pick your endings from the first game, so you can structure it to continue from whichever play through you wish.

suprisingly better than its predecessor. i enjoyed this new rpg format, so its too bad it wasnt used in other releases. imo it might be the best game from the series with all the choices and small changes in old characters. some of the fights get old after they repeat, over and over again but it wasnt too bad. i would just recomend avoiding fighting in the swamps as much as possible since that one was the most frustrating to me. its still a fun game that i would replay and recommend.

its so short and only a slight improvement from the previous game.

I played Demonheart, then Demonheart: Hunters and got so obsessed with the game universe that I got Neverwinter Nights modules and finished them too. I enjoyed playing all of the DH games and I wish there would be a continuation to Bright's adventures :)

I admit I initially wasn't sure about the transition from visual novel to isometric rpg but the change ultimately grew on me and now I hope to see more rpgs by Rolling Crown. There aren't enough role-playing games tailor made for female protagonists as playing as a woman is optional in most cases. The game's still first and foremost a narrative experience so the gameplay elements aren't particularly deep but keeping in line with the story-driven nature of its predecessor felt like the right choice to me. Onto the main story: there are less hard hitting twists and turns compared to the first game and the plot's comparatively simple. Still, if you're looking for an update on Bright and her friends and want one more adventure with them, the game provides just that. It doesn't necessarily offer a more definite ending in the long term than the first Demonheart but it does present closure for the most immediate concerns (while leaving the door open for new stories and characters in the same universe). Both the main quest and the side quests (varied and fun) had a good number of options in regards to how to approach them and the possible outcomes. Playing Evil!Bright in a world already full of bleakness felt as satisfying as ever. As for the romance, my view is colored by having romanced Ari who unfortunately, just like in the first game, feels like the less inspired choice (alas it's the only f/f one). While in the first Demonheart her route suffered from a lack of screentime compared to those of the male LIs but presented interesting ideas that I hoped would be explored in the sequel, here she's the character we spend the most time with but that comes off as the blandest. Even though in the first game she was undoubtedly the most outwardly polite of the three love interests, morally I never got the impression she was much better than the others and in fact thought she could provide a great opportunity to explore a different kind of dark romance (the series' main selling point is dark romance after all) than that of Brash and Raze who are much more in your face from the get-go about their lack of ethics. Ari's character could've opened a window into a more subtle, calculated type of evil that hides behind good manners but the best we got in this game was a lack of concern over a pompous bard. It also often felt like Ari and Bright came off as simply best friends who kiss. They giggle around one another and call each other cute but the intensity, passion and sometimes inner conflict of the two straight routes is nowhere to be found. Regardless, if you're looking for a dark fantasy rpg with a female lead I recommend the game.
