About the Game
Introduction
Frontier Hunter is a genuine Metroidvania game. Compared to our last work, Frontier Hunter has fuller stories, content, monsters, more exquisite scenes, smoother actions, and a more diversified, personalized cultivation system. We’ll do our best to make the game construction more thorough and stable. Also, we’ll add more featured experience, gameplay, and content in future updates.
Two years ago, Erza obtained the legendary hunter license and became a rising star in the imperial force. Under the rule of the wise and able emperor, the empire grows steadily. As one of the core forces in the expansion, Erza has won many military exploits.
In this fantasy world of swords and magic, Erza will lead an exploration team and start an epic adventure. She will fight unknown monsters and solve mysteries of the world. Why would the fiend become a hair clip? You’ll find the answer in the game.
Features
- Classic side-scrolling levels with steadier, smoother gameplay. Jump and dash can interrupt other actions’ recovery to get smoother responses.
- During your exploration in the game world, you may find secret passages between the two main areas or accidentally enter unknown chambers with hidden stories.
- Improved cartoon rendering makes the characters more lifelike.
- Real beat ’em up combat system. Enemies have more ways to act after hit.
- You’ll depend more on tactics when it comes to BOSS fights—learn their routines and act swiftly. Seize the chance to hit while keeping a distance.
- With the character change and support system, Erza won’t be fighting alone.
- 2.5D exquisite scenes will surely make an impression on you. The ultimate skills are made in 3D, which enables cool shows that 2D can’t do.
- With a more diversified, personalized cultivation system, you can choose your favorite way to raise characters and find more possibilities.

This is a fun metroidvania of pretty-good overall quality, but it is absolutely FULL of JANK. Here are tips I wish I knew so that your experience is more smooth than mine:
1. Use the permanent-stat-upgrade consumables immediately. They apply to all characters, not just whoever you're using at the time.
2. Enemies drop "cores" that you can add to equipment. You can move these cores around all you want with no downsides. DO THIS.
3. The most important part of a core is its passive; the actual stats of the cores matter less and less as the game goes on. If you're stuck on a boss, debuffs are REALLY GOOD.
4. Always equip something in BOTH weapon slots. The core passives for both are always active, even if you don't use one.
There are probably other good tips that I forgot, as well as things that I never figured out despite finishing it. Anything else you'll have to figure out yourself, because the tutorials don't help and there are no guides online. GOOD LUCK :)

I can't imagine why this has a mixed review, if you like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night you will basically like Frontier Hunter. There's a lot to do and three characters to play and any complaints I might have (and even some of the ones I've read here that resulted in no reviews) are superficial. Stuff like the OST tracks being too short (and sometimes totally out of place), the menus feeling undercooked and the translation bordering very perilously close to Engrish don't effect the overall game, which has quite a lot going on, from crafting to novelty ship segments.
Does it feel like whoever is behind this studio may have worked on Bloodstained and "borrowed" a copy of the engine for private use? Yes, but so what? There are a dire lack of Igavania games available in the first place, you won't catch me turning one that has this much effort put into it away.

Not a bad game for it's price. There is a lot of content there. Took me 31 hours to finish the main quest and there's still post game content and a hidden boss.
You find new skills while playing the game which makes traversal easier and unlocks new paths. Combat skills are also found in chests so there's always something new to learn. The map is also HUGE. There are so many areas and biomes and hidden treasures to find.
The only two things I didn't particularly enjoy is the story and the equipment upgrade system. The story is decent but nothing memorable. The upgrade system is way too expensive. I gave up trying to upgrade and finished the game without issue. Would have been more enjoyable if I could play more with the upgrade system but it didn't make any sense wasting time on equipment I would replace within an hour.
Anyway, I'm recommending this game. I took my time finishing it but I had fun.

This game is great but man do they need to tweak the drop rates of upgrade materials. by the time you are able to get enough for upgrades it's time to get the next tier of gear which takes different material so the cycle repeats. you never have what you need when you need it.

If you looking for a story masterpiece then maybe look elswhere. but if you want simple fun combating adventure with waifu. This one got it.

Man... this is a good game, but it has some annoying problems...
First, i really dont like this combat system, this is a metrovania, not a fightning game. Its really hard to do the weapon combos consistently, i ended up just using the spells for damage and basically forgetting about weapon skills.
Second, and the most important part, the magic core system is **♥♥♥♥**, period. Its the worst implementation of the 'hollow knight charm' system, cause here, every time u want to change your gear, u have to waste a bunch of time fixing up the cores, since in most cases your new item wont have to same slots than the previous one...
I still recommend the game, but keep want i said in mind and just skip every other tier of gear and just use skills for damage, its wayyyy better, imo...

It's pretty good. As other reviews have stated, if you're looking for a good, immersive story, look elsewhere. But if you're looking to have fun comboing enemies, spamming magic and zipping around exploring a huge map, that's what you'll get.
Story:
I went in with no expectations for the story, so no disappointment there. Had some laughs. Fun voice acting.
Combat:
Very smooth and fun. Surprisingly huge enemy variety. Combos are fun and satisfying, but if they aren't your thing you can make a magic or even gun build. The game is rather easy if you min-max your build, but might offer a small challenge if you're a "whatever works" kinda player.
Map/Exploration:
Big, very big. Some reviews say it might be too big, but I was still enjoying myself at the end. It is almost completely linear though, there's little backtracking after you get a key or new ability.
Music:
Another surprising point. It's pretty good. Never got tired of listening to any of the area themes, and some of the boss themes are very hype.
