Hunt the Night

Hunt the Night is a short, low budget, metroidvania. It does look good, color and lighting wise, but its art direction is also what makes the game sometimes hard to play. Elevation, paths, even our own "magic gauge" are hard to tell precisely because of the prevalent darkness and purple color. Against one of the last bosses, i had to watch a guide to understand how to survive a massive death cloud, because i couldn't see some safe areas. Our possible playstyles revolve around a selection of 6 different weapons type (among half of them play the same) with two different status effects : poison or life leech. There are some magics, but as long as you have the life steal spell, every combat becomes a formality. Add three different ranged weapons to answer to any situation and there isn't any real challenge to find in this game. (shotgun !) The bestiary is thin as a paper, but there are some cool bosses, especially in the second half. Combat and exploration are barely rewarding. Fortunately, you quickly gain all the money to buy everything. There are lots of bugs. Being stuck on environment while fighting and dodging, the equipment menu being locked out of controller because the mouse cursor is around and has priority. The entire screen shaking like crazy because you exited the previous room while taking a hit, and many more. It didn't make the game unbeatable, it was just irritating, and pushing through the whimsical last dungeon had become a chore It is a very low thumbs up, i hope you'll have better luck than me

Think of a Link (Zelda) game and mix Bloodborne (thought I've never played that game). Honestly, watch a review. If the gameplay and aesthetic interest you, you're going to love the game. I think the character sprites and text isn't up to par with other pixel games, but the controls and movement are buttery smooth. No parries in this game. All dodging and you got stamina fuel for days. ~~After completing the game~~ It seems like this game is unfinished. There a lot of stuff that seems like should be been in the game that either isn't or just ignored. Most NPCs don't update their dialogue after story events. Your alter ego seemed to be building to be something that ultimately never happens. There are multiple bosses with mechanics that were never balanced to regular play or throw in mechanics without warning the player never ever using them again. (The Mother fight and fight with the doppleganger). The made the default gun worthless on a few fights and there isn't much reason to use the crossbow. You get mulitiple weapons but you really only have 3 versions of the 5 weapons (though lowkey only 4 weapons). You have a sword, dual knives, basically gauntlets (different AoE dual knives), greatsword, and spear (slow as greatsword with slightly better than sword damage). The versions of the weapons you get are the basic weapon, the basic weapon with 10% special damage that isn't really explained, or a better version of the basic weapon. You get useless grenades and the skills are so rare that I didn't find my 2nd one until halfway to beating the game. I also feel like the graphics could have used a little polishing. But other than that, I think there were some plot lines that weren't closed well enough and the ending was rushed. Did I enjoy my time? Overall, yes. Would I recommend this for full price. Not a chance. Discount? Not if you haven't played Solteria or Drova. Drova is the best comparison to this game and is better in every way. It does storytelling, multiple endings, multiple weapons, graphics, combat... literally everything better than this game. And,. apparently the devs didn't honor their kickstarter goals by not releasing to console. If I had known this, I woudn't have bought the game.I I feel bad for them. This is overall a nice game. Probably needed a few more houndred thousand bucks to cook. Thumbing it up in the end. But it's a middle thumb all the way.

Juego entretenido, visualmente bonito, muy buena banda sonora y efectos ambientales. A lo que respecta la exploración, te llevará muchas horas si eres de los que no suelen orientarse bien sin un mapa a mano (como yo). Dificultad decente para alguien que no quiere un gran reto. Muy buena variedad de armas, hechizos y mejoras, hacen que el gameplay sea un poco más dinámico y puedas encontrar tu mejor estilo de batalla. En mi opinión, un juego que está a su nivel pero no al de muchos otros títulos similares.

Hunt the Night consigue lo que muchos juegos que intentan ser difíciles se proponen sin éxito: Un reto no frustrante. La dificultad de los jefes nunca se siente artificial, al contrario, cada reintento es más fácil que el anterior sólo por tu experiencia y tu capacidad de anticipar sus ataques. El pixel art es magnífico y muy bien rematado con algunas animaciones espectaculares y una ambientación magnífica. No son pocas las veces que el juego me ha dejado con la boca abierta al enfrentarme un jefe o llegar a alguna zona de interés. La música es una maravilla. Más de una vez me quedé peleando contra un jefe sin matarlo sólo por escuchar la pieza completa. En mi caso, lo jugué en la Steam Deck LCD y me parece un juego ideal para el dispositivo. Todo fluido y ningún problema de accesibilidad.

游戏是极好的，优化是差一点的，如果你不想玩ppt战斗，最好时不时重启游戏
