What Is Hunt the Night?
Originally launched digitally, Hunt the Night is a retro-inspired action-RPG steeped in dark fantasy. Players step into the role of Vesper, a Stalker sworn to hold back the endless Night threatening humanity.
Set in the cursed land of Medhram, the game blends:
- Fast-paced, skill-based combat
- Haunting pixel art environments
- Deep character customization
- Challenging boss encounters
The world exists in a relentless cycle of destruction, and it’s up to Vesper to push back against overwhelming darkness.
Precision Combat Meets Dark Fantasy Atmosphere
At the heart of Hunt the Night physical edition is its fluid and aggressive combat system. Players can seamlessly combine:
- Melee strikes
- Ranged attacks
- Dashes
- Dark powers
Each encounter demands pattern recognition, adaptability, and precise timing. Towering bosses escalate battles through multiple phases, testing player mastery.
Customization plays a major role, with builds shaped through:
- Weapons and upgrades
- Critical damage modifiers
- Lifesteal mechanics
- Poison and firepower enhancements
This depth ensures replayability and varied playstyles.
Explore Medhram’s Twisted World
Exploration is equally rewarding in Hunt the Night. Players will venture across:
- Ancient cathedrals
- Ruined libraries
- Lost kingdoms
- Floating cities
Optional Hunts add extra challenge, tasking players with tracking down the Night’s deadliest creatures for powerful rewards.
The world’s emotional weight is reinforced by tragic side characters and immersive environmental storytelling.
Soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta Elevates the Experience
Adding further gravitas to the atmosphere is music from legendary composer Hiroki Kikuta, known for his work on Secret of Mana.
His contributions amplify tension during boss fights and enhance quieter moments of exploration, making the Hunt the Night physical edition feel both nostalgic and modern.
