Cute visual style
A good symbiosis of metroidvania and dark souls

Nothing new in the genre of metroidvania
There is a grind
The plot is primitive
7.5/10 is a good metroidvania, but no more.
Unfortunately, the game could not offer anything new to the worn-out genre. But everything is done pretty soundly, if you are not afraid of complex games and the need for a grind, then you can safely take

Good:
- Smooth controls
- Boss fights and enemies are challenging but attacks are telegraphed well
Issues:
- Lackluster story and world building
- Characters have no personality (just tools for getting things done)
- A lot of backtracking due to very spaced out teleport points (would have been more manageable if the HUD had a map. Sadly, it doesn't and bringing up the world map pauses the game.)
Quite fun overall. Expect to die a lot in Normal difficulty. Most enemies will kill you in 1 to 2 hits. Maybe 3 to 4 hits if you equip accessories which are resistant to the enemy's attack type. Attacks are often well telegraphed so it doesn't feel unfair.

Similar to its unofficial predecessor,
Nothing ground breaking here. But a good action/adventure/platformer without spending too much money.
Challenging, but not overly. Decent level design.
I would recommend if that is your thing

Simple but exciting!
Less is more !
Recommend to ppl like me who love souls-like game !
In general, Hunter X is too easy...
The DLC version code name T has much more fun !

This game is neat little hidden gem, It doesn't really do anything out of the ordinary, but its executed fairly well. Fair warning, do not come into this expecting Hollow Knight, Ender Lilies, or any other popular and re-known Metroidvanias, as this game struggles to reach those heights. But if you have that itch to play a game of the genre, its a game to buy on sale.
HunterX blends MetroidVania and SoulsBorne games fairly nicely. You gain Karma (souls) from defeating enemies and you can use it to either purchase items, upgrade weapons, upgrade spells or level up stats.
one of my biggest gripes about this game is that upgrading weapons/spells is virtually pointless, The game will throw stronger and better weapons/spells, so wait until end game to upgrade.
When you level up your stats, you will also receive a point to use in a skill tree that expands as you gain more abilities, As you acquire more skills the game play comes together, which in someways bothers me and others not. Upon beginning the game, I found it to be very sluggish, it wasn't until i sunk a few levels to upgrade the skill tree where the game play began to feel serviceable. I wont lie, at the beginning of the game, it feels very sluggish.
The MV map is your standard stuff, looping paths, locked gates to open from the other side, treasures, areas you cant quite get to until you unlock that next abilities, save points, and a portal here and there so you can comeback to collect the stuff you couldnt reach before. There are a few points in the game where you can sequence break if you time your jumps, airdash, and charge attack correctly to get places you shouldn't be able to until later in the game. when i went to area I was SUPPOSED to go to, i was pretty over leveled for that spot and ended up steam rolling that area, There are certain areas that require an interactive puzzle to solve to proceed. they're not mind boggling mind you, I got through the first two puzzles figuring them out naturally until I realized the game actually gives items that give you hints on how to solve them.
The story. ****Spoilers**** things just kinda happen... I can tell you that i really dont know what was going on, some sort of gate opens causing an apocalyptic type event, you character, Tsuki goes in to deal with it, and along the way she meets people to help her, and fights demons until its over, some guy got possessed i guess and is doing bad things, beat the bad guy, yay world saved! Tsuki also has this demon companion that gives you hints from time to time, no idea why its there or who it is.
so yeah, buy it on sale, there is some fun to be had with it

What i expected: a semi-fun cheesy metroidvania that I could probably sink a couple hours into and then rant about all the problems with it.
What I got: a pretty solid metroidvania that controls great and is a blast to play.
This is a pretty standard overall metroidvania. Its not reinventing the genre into some new and crazy direction. But it doesn't really have to. If you are going to get this as your prime choice for this genre, you will most likely be disappointed. There are plenty of other metroidvanias that do charge into new ground. But if you just want something that is smooth, controls great, and feels good to play, this won't disappoint.
HunterX is a good case of what you see is what you get. its not overly flashy or hiding a lot...just a good straight forward game. It won't eraase SotN or Super Metroid from your brain. But it will keep you playing just a little further.

As I have put about 2 hours in this as i am writing this comment. So far the metroidvania style of this game is a good aspect of it. The souls-like aspect is decent for the karma to get back as souls you get in Dark Souls. The weapons are decent in certain parts of the game but all i have played a lot of different ones i think if they do update the game in some way. They could implement the different types of weapons you use have different styles of attacks. but in all good fun and exploring of the world i have to give it as of right now a 3.7 out of 5 stars
