About

Hunt the Night is a retro-style action-RPG that blends fast, skillful combat with dark fantasy lore. Play as Vesper, a member of the Stalkers, and traverse the ruined world of Medhram on a mission to save humanity from a deadly cycle of annihilation. Endure nightmarish overworlds, slash through horrific dungeons, face brutal bosses, and wield an arsenal of powers in a relentless struggle against the Night itself.
In the 9th Age, humanity is trapped in a vicious cycle on the verge of extinction. The day is ruled by humans, while the Night brings annihilation by horrid creatures. A group of humans called ‘The Stalkers’ once wielded power to hold back the horrors, but their sacrifice only delayed the inevitable.
Now, as the Night starts devouring every single glint of light, Vesper, a Stalker by right and daughter of a traitor, will travel a dying land trying to save the last embers of humanity. She hunts in a race against destiny, as the shadows lengthen both in the world and in her mind.

Dash through enemies while you unleash your combos, use your weapons or destroy them with your dark powers. You can switch between melee and ranged attack in quick succession: slashing enemies with your sword and then dashing away to use your ranged weapons, avoiding enemy attacks.

Endure the ultimate challenge as you fight the ancient horrors of the Night that have been annihilating humanity over and over in intense boss battles. Learn their weak points, attack patterns and survive through the different combat phases as the battle gets more challenging and extreme.

Create your own build that will adapt not only to your prefered gameplay but also to particular bosses. Customize the upgrades of your arsenal and use the equipment that best suits your gameplay: Critical Damage, Life Steal, Poison, Close Combat, Firepower and more. Collect Sanguine vials, Crow Feathers, Moonstones and Noctilium to increase your stats and get ready to face the Night.

Explore Medhram in a combination of action-adventure and dark fantasy lore. Survive huge dungeons full of traps, enemies, puzzles and challenges. Discover all kinds of locations, from ancient cathedrals and libraries of knowledge to lost kingdoms and devastated floating cities.

Accept a hunt at ‘Crow’s Nest’ and track down the dark beast, find where it hides and hunt the most powerful creatures of the Night. After every completed hunt you will get rewards that will increase your health and dark energy bar.

Meet new characters and discover their tragic past and stories in a world that is on the brink of the abyss.

Immersive and adapted music to every moment, boss and location, with the collaboration of Hiroki Kikuta, Secret of Mana composer.

OK-ish game with potential that was never realized. Gameplay itself it fine, but repetitive. The devs failed with itemization. Very few items, and even those are not very exciting. Spells are complete fail. Long CDs, and overall they are nothing to look forward. There are also not that many enemy types, for most of the game you are killing the same things over and over again. A bit repetitive. Story is a mess, and I do not even understand the connection with the last boss. Was I not paying attention to the story enough. Really weird. They have failed in storytelling really hard. Most of the time you are solving puzzles in the form of which lever to press first, finding keys and such. Pretty simplistic. The difficulty is low to medium, with a bit of effort you can easily beat most of the bosses in a few tries. The game could have been much better with more sensible gamedev decisions. There were some super minor bugs, but nothing gamebreaking. 6,5/10.
Hunt the Night is a Pixel Art Action RPG where you play as Vesper, a lone stalker on a mission to take down the corruption in the world led by forces of evil. The game offers a big interconnected world filled with puzzles that will test your brain, rooms full of challenges and enemies that will try to swarm you and allies / NPCs will aid you on your journey. The game plays very well and solid controls, the only thing I noticed was slight hitboxes that were bigger than their intended range, but other than that no issues at all and no bugs were faced during my playthrough. OST and music for each zone was very nice and matches the vibe of that particular zone, from forests, to ruins to mountains and big halls for you to explore. The boss fights were definitely brutal and some of them brought real challenge and adrenaline pump, a single mistake can be very costly during a fast paced battle, where you have to stay focused 100% at all times which is something I really loved!! It's a very recommended Pixelated Action RPG for the fans of the genre and is a really must play especially if you're into dark theme ones. Overall Rating 10/10
Not bad. Not great. Go for the sale.
Really solid mesh of legacy Zelda and Bloodborne. Has a few moments where it's rough around the edges, shown through visual bugs or compatibility with OBS (event though the latter is not that big of a deal for like 90% of people who will play this). There are some puzzles that were a little too cryptic and required looking up (looking at you, sword puzzle in Bloodisfell). The enemy types could benefit from a little more variety too. The boss fights are awesome and left me wanting more of its cool miyazaki-esque atmosphere. Decent little 10 hour game that will appear to fans of both FROMsoft and Link To The Past. Keep cookin, devs. 7.5/10
2026/03/21購買2026/03/22全成就 遊戲我真心覺得很不錯,蒐集/解謎/探索/故事劇情/人物/像素風/類魂BOSS戰鬥 初期裝備:武器"鴨羽槍"就可以打到結束了!(真的有點可惜其他武器) 遠程武器:手槍LV2,散彈LV3(弓真的不好用) 手榴彈:這個就真的很雞肋了! 黑暗之力:前中期拿到"血流操作"容錯率就超高 戰衣:前中期拿到"幽靈戰衣"也可以提高容錯 月光石:力量 初期關卡人物介紹故事&敘述式提醒讓遊戲變得很模糊(例如用槍開鐵門),這遊戲簡單說就是探索沒有什麼提示! 初章通過後剛開始迷路真的建議要多看"叉路口路引"你才知道自己去的方向有哪些 雖然日常生活用GOOGLE MAP真的太習慣了,導致這種探索會讓人反感我大概董,但我真的蠻喜歡自己發現新大陸的感覺 也有一些地方當下開不了,需要自己筆記一下!不然後面拿到真的會忘記要去哪裡放! 雖然很多人都覺得BOSS很難,但其實每一招都很固定,招招都有破招的方式!容易被初見殺而已,作者也很用心BOSS也有階段劃分,我自己覺得真的很不錯! 後面主角慢慢蒐集到能力致用慢慢提升的感覺也很棒(解謎部分) 途中故事自己探索還有背負責任層層漸進還有解救人類的過程都很棒 ------------------- 缺點: 對應的機關希望有"!"可以說明這是什麼,不然後面拿到道具根本不知道要去哪裡開 舉例:青銅/白銀/黃金鑰匙,哪一扇門是哪一個不知道! 要自己去試錯.... 雖然閃身氣條很多可以一直用,但後期的地圖真的有點太大了,跟一開始差太多跑得有點累 雖然有提升夜萃礦(金幣)的月光石,但怪物真的給得太少了 接"追獵討伐"也要花夜萃礦,這好像哪裡怪怪的(希望作者可以改掉這個設定),不接還不能打追獵的小BOSS! 槍枝升級部分也很雞肋,等級三的不一定是最好! 搞不清楚破關完【遊戲+】有什麼,開啟後官方沒說明也沒提 BOSS挑戰:沒有玩 ---------------------------------- 給自己的話:當初自己看了太多評價導致自己不敢碰!等到這次春特遊戲荒才買來玩,玩後真心覺得好險有買來玩!真的很不錯,成就內容也沒有很討厭的(例如:遠程武器全蒐集,有這個我可能會負評,誰叫我是成就黨XD),故事內容敘述還有跟幽靈對話也有一些感人的部分,真的不錯!BOSS難度適中,解謎也有相對應文件,方向真的也很明確,順順打著打著就過關了!
A really great game for the halloween season, it's not particularly spooky but it just has the perfect vibe. The pixel art is beautiful, the gameplay is incredibly fluid, the music is really pleasant. I loved this game. Felt the story was kinda whatever but this is definitely the sort of game you play purely for the gameplay in my opinion. As someone who doesn't really play a lot of faster paced combat in games, I felt the dodge and attack mechanics were insanely fluid and easy to pick up. Hugely recommend this game if anyone is curious about it!
Hunt the Night — a hidden gem that sometimes fights the player as much as the monsters Hunt the Night feels like a game from another era — and that’s both its greatest strength and its biggest weakness. The atmosphere is excellent. The dark-fantasy world has identity, the pixel art is beautiful, and the combat treats enemies as real threats instead of disposable mobs. When the game clicks, it delivers that rare feeling modern games often miss: exploration with tension and discovery that actually matters. But this is not a smooth modern experience. What works really well Strong atmosphere and art direction — the world feels handcrafted rather than algorithm-designed. Combat with weight — enemies hit hard but are readable. Learning patterns and spacing is key. Old-school exploration — the game trusts players to remember locations and connect clues themselves. When you adapt to its rhythm, it becomes very satisfying. What might frustrate some players Navigation and progression can be cryptic. You will occasionally feel lost or unsure where to go next. Sometimes an item found in one area unlocks something somewhere else entirely, and the game doesn’t always communicate that clearly. Difficulty spikes exist. Certain enemies can deal massive damage quickly. It’s rarely unfair, but it demands patience and focus. Uneven pacing. You can feel the ambition of a small team pushing big ideas, which results in moments of brilliance mixed with rough edges. About the development history The game launched on PC in 2023 and later received significant updates alongside a delayed console release. There has also been discussion online about delayed Kickstarter rewards and slower communication periods. It doesn’t affect gameplay directly, but it explains why the project has a slightly “unusual indie history.” Final verdict Hunt the Night is a hidden gem with flaws. It has personality, atmosphere, and genuine passion behind it — things that are increasingly rare. At the same time, it asks for patience and tolerance for old-school design decisions that won’t work for everyone. If you enjoy dark fantasy, exploration-driven games, and learning through experience rather than quest markers, this is worth playing. If you want constant guidance, perfectly smooth balance, or modern convenience design, you may struggle with it. Recommended — just know what kind of journey you’re signing up for.
I think I just discovered a hidden gem
A pretty fun action adventure game Its a mix on zelda in terms of gameplay and bloodborne in terms of aesthetic and weapon variety Liked the sense of progression the game gives when you go to a new area and upgrade There a decent amount of side stuff adn hidden items to find Like the gameplay overall but there some jank I got stuck in the map 2 times but that it no crashes on technical side The story is decent but nothing very special Its a decent game ig you get on sale
I'm sorry, but I can't appreciate this game. The graphics are nice, but the game is laggy in some points (mostly when the invisible guys are on the map) and overall the gameplay feels repetitive and frustrating. The story is confusing and full of inconsistencies, and it feels like I'm exploring a wide world of potential... just, never realized.
