Nocturnal Hunt

C'est un jeu que j'ai envie de recommander. Points forts: * Jeu abordable (5,99€) * Graphiste bien * Jouabilité facile (faut juste passer en qwerty pour les adeptes du clavier) * Scénario kawaii (mignon) * Vu durant le jeu est original Point faible: * Scénario vraiment trop court (1h de jeu grand max) J'ai reçu le jeu en cadeau et j'en suis satisfaite. Cependant vu son prix je trouve qu'il aurait au moins mérité le double du temps de jeu, on a l'impression de rester sur ça faim vu l'immersion dans laquelle on est.

Okay, I did one play through and it actually took less than the 0.8 hours I have on record. It's that short (the store page does mention it takes about 15-45 minutes for a single play through. This seems pretty accurate.) There isn't much depth to the game and it might be a decent distraction if you get it on sale (I picked it up on a Summer Sale for pretty cheap.) The premise seemed pretty good but it feels like the game is missing features or it was underdeveloped, which contributed to my lack of interest in playing through more than once. Edit: I'll give them a positive nod for getting a game to market. It appears to be their first try at this, so kudos there.

6/10 When I saw the description for Nocturnal Hunt, it really grabbed me. Play in the first-person as a wolf, slaughtering hunters? It reminded me of the film, "The Grey." Sign me up. In practice, it may not be quite as exciting as it sounds. Your wolf can run, sneak, bite, and jump. In addition, it has an "instinct vision" that allows it to detect enemies through walls and locate collectibles, and it can knock over bottles to divert enemy attention. Most of the game is simply moving forward, taking stock of enemy concentration and location, and then using stealth (at least, for me) to systematically eliminate them. This isn't necessarily a bad time, however. The environments are lovingly crafted and the enemies have a nice steampunk aesthetic. For the most part, I enjoyed my time with the game. The only negative that comes to mind took place when I first started the game. I had to quit around 15 minutes in, and when I returned, I found that the game had not saved my progress. In a game with a total length of only perhaps 30-40 minutes, it's not a big deal - but the game periodically registers "checkpoints," so I thought that I was in the clear. These checkpoints just serve as respawn points if your wolf dies during the playthrough. This team absolutely has talent - they could expand the title by perhaps creating a few difficult choices. Do any of these hunters have children? Though a wolf likely wouldn't have many qualms about hunting them as well, perhaps we would as player characters? Would we leave them to fend for themselves by killing their parents? In traditional gaming fashion, they could also slowly expand the move set of the wolf and the encounter difficulty.

This is very realistic and detailed, so I give it a... THUMBS UP! I LOVE IT!

[h1] Introduction [/h1] Nocturnal Hunt had an interesting idea and concept, yet it suffers from it's length and some of its mechanics. [h1] Pros [/h1] [*] Interesting concept. [*] Fun to play and engaging enough. I like the fact there's more than one way to play it. [*] The art is beautiful. [*] Good sound effects. [h1] Cons [/h1] [*] Seemingly only one achievable ending no matter which path you take, making it pointless to try to achieve them. I actually did go a different path, but it doesn't seem to change the ending, so replaying it is a bit pointless. [*] Very short. This isn't always a bad thing, yet I wish it was longer and developed on the concept it presented in more depth. The shortness gave it a rushed feeling. [*] Deaths are rather cheap. I thought the death screen was a glitch at first because there was no indication I had been killed. No animation or anything, just the words "you died" popping up on the screen, disappearing, then reappearing as if the game was glitching out, but that's actually just how deaths work in this game. [*] Sometimes the option to attack a hunter (symbolized by purple fangs) doesn't show up. I've had situations were I've circled around and come back to an enemy to try to make the option appear, but it still didn't, so I ended up dying. [*] You can get stuck on parts of the environment while wondering around. This is particularly annoying when your trying to get away from a hunter. [*] If you're trying to achieve the sneak path, the game check points are not very kind. You'll do well only to get to a hard part and get spotted, let yourself be killed so you can try again, and then have to do several other sections before reaching the hard section again. Honestly wish there was an option to set your own check points. [*] Keys aren't remappable, as far as I am aware. [h1] Conclusion [/h1] All in all Nocturnal Hunt had a good idea, there's just some aggravating issues with the execution and I wish the idea had been expanded on rather than the game being so short. It's engaging and fun the first time around, but every time I go back into the game I just see more issues with it and end up wishing the idea had been expanded on. This gets worse when you realize there's only one collectible ending. If you're going to offer varying paths, offering varying endings is favorable, otherwise, there's no real reason to do them, especially when some are pretty difficult. An achievement may be enough for some people, but, for me, I'd want to do the different paths to effect the game in different ways, not just for an achievement. So, the game had a good idea but the execution could use some work.

I wasted many hours trying to unlock all achievement. A handful of the achievements are still bugged after 3 years of release, and there has been no update since. The only two things I found enjoyable about this game are being able to kill the humans who took your pup, and the graphics. The developers should really look into updating this game.
