Hunt The Night Review

Hunt the Night is a retro-style action-adventure game that combines fast-paced, skillful gameplay with a dark fantasy atmosphere. You will play as Vesper, a virtuous member of "The Stalkers," and explore the vast Medhram world filled with ruins. Traverse through dungeons teeming with terrifying enemies, battle challenging bosses, and fight to reclaim the Night using your arsenal of weapons and dark powers.

The main story of Hunt the Night is mostly conveyed through visual storytelling. This may not be a problem for everyone playing the game, as it doesn't heavily rely on text-based narrative. When it comes to combat, Hunt the Night delivers a tight and thrilling fighting experience. As Vesper, you can battle against the horrors of the night using various close-combat weapons and reliable firearms. Clicking the left mouse button allows you to perform a three-hit combo, though it's important to note that this can vary depending on the weapon you have equipped. By right-clicking, you can utilize Vesper's powerful but limited firearm, which can be aimed at targets. Additionally, you have access to grenades that can quickly eliminate enemies. In Hunt the Night, you can choose different equipment and customize your gameplay experience as you progress and unlock more items. The well-designed dungeons in the game effectively capture the Gothic horror atmosphere with traps, puzzles, and imposing bosses.
