A fairytale with an art style darker than the story itself. POV changes between two characters: the protagonist: Elisabeth and Marcus, her main companion. While the store page mentions it being in the same universe as Snow White, I didn't see a connection to the story other than a very brief appearance of a huntsman and a few dwarfs. I feel like the title could've just been "Winter's Curse" and it would've been less confusing. The gameplay is entirely linear, as there is no exploration or even choice in where the protagonist goes unless a sidequest pops up. But that's a minor issue to me. The story and gameplay were interesting and fun, so I still recommend it. I don't know if each chapter is worth $5, so maybe get it on sale. The first chapter is still free-to-play if you want to try it before buying the other chapters.
The Huntsman : Winter's Curse is a surprising gem in a fairytale universe, totally worth its price in my opinion. The first book is free to play : a perfect way to make your own opinion about it. And since this is a fairytale, your steam wallet will magically decrease in order to purchase the season pass. Remember : magic always comes with a price. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=691908110 This game is so much more than a Visual Novel, I just fell in love with its unique type. The story is about Elisabeth, a stubborn girl who used to live in a farm with her father and decides to leave her village to start her own adventure. Her brothers left home years ago and it's time for her to look for them and discover what happened. During her journey, she will meet many good or evil characters / monsters. Many dangers await but sometimes, fear and inner self are the worst enemies. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=673355066 But this isn't only a narrative and interactive game : it has several RPG principles. The game is linear, with a few side quests and choices to make (actions and dialogues). Your characters will get experience from the fights and quests and you'll have to manage their ability trees and inventory. The turn-based combat system is quite special and interesting : every character has skill cards depending on their equipment. Up to you to find the most effective combinations to get rid of your opponents. However, the combats aren't too challenging, except for the final boss. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=673377598 One does not review The Huntsman : Winter's Curse without mentioning its beautiful and elaborate art style : unique, refreshing, a personal and authentic touch. The soundtrack is also particularly pleasant ; wouldn't mind to pay for a soundtrack edition ( Edit : there is a soundtrack DLC now !). This game is simply mesmerizing, captivating and worth playing. I sincerely hope that Desert Owl Games, LLC will come back with other gems.
A beautiful fairytale which is quite pleasant to play, watch and listen to. Great combat system which is easy to master and yet gives a fair amount of challenge. The only thing it lacks (for me) is a voice-over. Apart from that - this is a charming visual novel and RPG hybrid that is worth every penny and will definetely keep you immersed for a couple of evenings.
This is an amazingly fun game. The first chapter of 5 is free but the rest will cost you. Not sure if they're worth the asking price but when they're on sale, definitely worth it. The Huntsman: Winter's Curse is a turn-based RPG where the skills you use are based on a deck of cards. Every piece of equipment you use (weapon, armor, and 2 accessories) will give you access to a different set of cards and sometimes a special bonus (or negative effect). So there's a lot of strategy in what you decide to equip. On the same page where you choose your equipment is also a skill tree. Everytime you level up, you get to choose one perk - all passive. Battles, as I've said, are turn-based. There's a bar on the top of the screen that your characters and the enemies move along and get an action at the end of. Many cards have effects that push the enemies back on the bar. Of course, they can do the same to you. You get 3 cards to pick from (you can only choose one) each time you can perform an action. They're random. As soon as you use one, another random one will take its place. Some of the perks on the skill tree will allow you access to more cards in each hand - for a total of 5. It's definitely nicer to have more choices. At the end of a fight, all your HP is refilled. (YAY) I really loved the battles. The art in this game is lovely and the music is pleasant though there's not much variation. The story.... it's interesting, to be sure. But the main characters always seem to be bickering so I kinda want to smack them. Still, I'm enjoying the journey. Throughout the plot, you get to make many decisions and I'm sure these affect how much exp you get sometimes and items you can find. At some point, I'm sure I'll play this again just to see what different choices offer. I've completed 4 of the 5 chapters so I can't tell you if the ending of the story is any good. Let's hope so! This is not an action game in any form. It's strategy all the way. This has been one of the more enjoyable games I've played this year so I definitely recommend it. Oh, a heads-up for achievement hunters. All you have to do to 100% the game is play through all 5 chapters. That's it. Additional: I played the game again, making different decisions and using different strategies. I can indeed attest to the fact that decisions matter. They change exp gained and what items you may or may not get. They determine how many enemies you face or if you face any at all. It was neat to see the differences. I really love this game.
