Hunt the Night is a retro-style action-adventure game that combines a fast, skilled gameplay with dark fantasy lore. Play as Vesper, a virtuous member of 'The Stalkers,' and explore the vast world of Medhram, a place filled with ruins and horrors. Go through dungeons full of gruesome enemies, fight challenging bosses, and use your arsenal of weapons and dark powers to take back the Night.
It is the 9th Age of humanity. The cycle of day is ruled by humans, the night one by horrid creatures. Despite its efforts, humanity is annihilated with every arrival of the Night.
A group of humans, calling themselves 'The Stalkers,’ discovered how to use the power of darkness to their advantage and fought the Night. However, it was not enough, and with every new dawn humanity rose again knowing that, with darkness, comes extinction.
Humanity found the ‘Seal of Night,’ an artifact that allowed them to stop the cycle in an everlasting day. In exchange for a blood oath that The Stalkers were willing to pay, the sun ruled for hundreds of generations and, for the first time, hope was a beacon of light. Yet fate proved unstoppable, and they paid the ultimate price.
Now, as the Night starts devouring every single glint of light, Vesper, a Stalker by right and daughter of the 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.
I was excited to try Hut the Night, but the game is completely broken right from the start. As soon as you launch it, bugs prevent any meaningful progress—dialogues don’t trigger, controls freeze, and some assets fail to load. Worse, the English version is a mess: missing translations, corrupted text, and UI elements that make no sense. It’s not just frustrating—it’s literally unplayable. Until the developers fix this, I can’t recommend it to anyone.
No complains on controls as I use a controller... HOWEVER... I am stuck at the tutorial... and I know what I am suppose to do, I checked a youtube video walkthrough. I am suppose to shoot at the floating orange thing, right after the first checkpoint.. and I do.. but nothing happens.. While in the youtube video it turns into a platform. It does not do that for me.. so I cant progress... gaming breaking bug, right at the tutorial... and I bought the game so long ago I cant even ask for a refund.. I was saving the game.. that was dumb... its broken..
I tried to play the game and encountered a game-breaking bug. Where do you ask? On the tutorial.
Yes, the tutorial. After a few movement drills that went smoothly there is a section where you are supposed to fight a small group of enemies, the only problem was, there were no enemies. The game simply did not load them. It’s not like they were invisible or anything, they were not there.
That was not the bug I mentioned earlier. That came in the next room.
You are supposed to use your gun to create a platform. Pulled out my gun, aimed carefully and took the shot. Nothing. My shots simply did not create the platform and there was no way to progress. I’ve been playing for less than an hour.
Then I tried to quit the game and was dumfounded to discover that I could not open the menu! I had to alt-tab out and close the game the hard way.
One to avoid.
I only managed to play for about an hour before I had to return it because the controls were broken.
Whenever you attack without holding a directional button the character automatically attacks downward even if you're in a combo. It has caused me to die more than once.
In addition when aiming with the gun, again downward, the aiming sight will snap into random directions and stay snapped prevening you from actually hitting targets. I thought I could just avoid this by not using the gun, but there are timed platforming sections that require shooting triggers to create platforms and it was literally impossible as the gun would fire wildly and when you run out of ammo you have to start over.
Very dissapoiting as the game seemed like it could be a nice experience, but I am completely stuck because of the controls. I should also add that I tried 2 controllers and the keyboard/mouse and the issue happened with all.
I tried to play on the keyboard and mouse and gamepad, but it is not comfortable. The control system is clumsy. I really wanted to play this game and it unfortunately disappointed me.
