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.

Hunt the Night is a pretty good Dungeon Crawler, Souls like game and it's an interesting mashup of bloodborne and Legend of Zelda, but let's talk about the story. In a world were darkness has enveloped it, trapping humanity in a vicious cycle on the verge of extinction, but it was not always like that long ago the world was surrounded by perpetual light keeping the horrors of the dark at bay, but to maintain that protection a sacrifice had to be made. Unfortunately the previous sacrifice refused, betraying his order and his sacred duty leaving his daughter Vesper to pick up the sword and restore the light, but is she really helping the world is it not unnatural for the daytime to be perpetual, but who really knows, but that would be for Vesper to figure out as she will be forced to fight the undead and demonic forces of the night in order to gather the pieces for the ritual or this terrible night will never end. Okay then it’s time for the likes, the gameplay is pretty good it's a mixture of a Souls like game and a top-down Legend of Zelda gameplay style, you go around fighting enemies and bosses learning their attack moves in order to defeat them, while also solving some light puzzles and doing exploration in order to find items, game’s also hard but fair with some bunk in it, but you just need to be patient and learn attack patterns, also buying and finding upgrades for your character and building them up to fit your playstyle, and like a good Souls like you can buy or find different weapons, items and special attack moves in order to progress through the game. Another thing I really like about the gameplay is that in other traditional soul-like games when you die you lose all the experience/money you got, but here playing on normal mode you can actually keep that experience even after you die which is a pretty good idea as you will die a lot in the game.The weapons were fine they're pretty simple, swords, great swords and spears that sort of thing, but some weapons can be more effective than others again it's just requires trial and error and figuring out which kind of weapon you're good with. The story is good you find out a lot about the world via character interaction and notes, it does have some bloodborne/lovecraftian theming with these otherworldly monsters, body horror, humanity smallness and fighting the inevitable but also fighting against the darkness, nothing I haven't really seen before but still was good.The enemy and bosses are all really good each one has their own unique looks that's definitely doesn't feel out of place in a Souls like game, again like bloodborne. Probably my favorite bosses has to be Krevian because it definitely has great set up for that boss and the mother boss as it definitely feels lovecraftian. The pixel graphic art style is really good with very good uses of colors, designs and scenery that really makes each area stand out, it definitely feels like an old school top down Zelda game. The levels are very good each level is unique with interesting designs that's just pretty breathtaking to look at and explore, I definitely can see the bloodborne inspiration in it. The music is very good; each track fits this kind of game very well. The notes are good like any notes these does a good job setting up the world and how it got like this, definitely feels like Dark Souls mixed with bloodborne with its emphasis on the sun and otherworldly lovecraftian horrors. The atmosphere is very good definitely spooky in some places particularly Ashdown Manor. Now this game isn't technically a horror game it's dark fantasy, but definitely has horror elements the best would be the level Ashdown manner it can be pretty spooky with some effective jumpscares. Okay then it’s time for the dislikes, now there is some bunk in the gameplay like this one particular enemy that’s invisible if you're not paying close attention it can jump at you which can be quite annoying particularly starting with your small health bar, some of the enemy placements can also feel cheap and you have to be quick in your dodging, particularly when you're at a low level, it can be a bit of a slog to get through until you're familiarize yourself with the mechanics. Lastly some of the bosses have a one hit kill attacks which is very annoying. Now that I told you this Hunt the Night is a pretty good Dungeon Crawler, Souls like game and it's an interesting mashup of bloodborne and Legend of Zelda, it has pretty good gameplay, a good story and very good levels, so I definitely recommend this game especially to those who are souls like fans or Legend of Zelda fans as this is a good matchup between the two despite some of its flaws.

Nice SNES style Bloodborne. Good combat, skills, and exploration. Its like Monster Hunter, and BB had a baby. Worth the money for sure.

Hunt the Night Review Introduction Hunt the Night is a gothic, top-down action-adventure game developed by Moonlight Games. Inspired by Bloodborne and classic The Legend of Zelda , it drops you into a dark, cursed world overrun by monstrous horrors. You play as Vesper, a Stalker trying to reclaim humanity’s place in a realm swallowed by eternal night. I went into the game looking for something with a bit of Souls-like challenge mixed with Zelda-style gameplay, and overall, I enjoyed it for what it was. Gameplay At its core, Hunt the Night offers challenging, dodge-based combat with both melee and ranged options. It encourages pattern recognition, quick reactions, and a bit of resource management. Boss fights are definitely a highlight, with some creative and memorable encounters. That said, I wouldn’t call the game brutally hard — a few bosses took some trial-and-error to learn, but nothing felt impossible. In my opinion, it’s challenging but not at true Dark Souls levels. The game is also fairly short; you can beat it in under 10 hours if you keep moving. Hunt the Night blends in some Metroidvania elements, too, where you unlock abilities to backtrack and explore previously blocked areas, finding more loot and customizing your weapons. That structure is familiar and works well, though level layouts do get repetitive in places. I ran into a few issues with the combat — dodging felt sluggish at times, and certain boss mechanics threw completely new patterns at you with no warning, punishing you with instant deaths if you didn’t react perfectly. One boss near the end especially frustrated me with an unexpected “gimmick” mechanic that killed you outright if you missed it, forcing repeat attempts. That kind of design drives me up the wall. Art The pixel art is the game’s standout feature. It captures a gothic horror atmosphere with great style, from ruined cathedrals to twisted monster lairs. Enemy and boss designs are creative and memorable, and the animations are smooth, giving the whole world a haunted, retro feel reminiscent of SNES or early PlayStation games. Sound The soundtrack pairs nicely with the game’s aesthetic, delivering haunting melodies and tense boss music that set the tone perfectly. Sound effects, like sword swings and monster roars, are sharp and satisfying. The only downside was the text beeping during dialogue scenes — it got on my nerves quickly and made me skip a lot of the story, which otherwise is a pretty typical “evil takes over the world” tale. Overall Hunt the Night is a stylish, atmospheric, and ambitious indie action-RPG with clear passion behind it. If you’re into gothic horror, pixel art, and short, moderately challenging experiences, I’d recommend it. The combat, while mostly responsive, has some frustrating hitbox and design quirks, and the story is nothing groundbreaking. Once I finished it, I didn’t feel like diving into New Game Plus, but I still appreciated the experience for what it was. If you’re looking for a niche action RPG with a classic feel, solid bosses, and some Metroidvania elements, Hunt the Night is worth checking out.
