Shade Hunters Reviews

fun but feels unfinished

I found this game very intriguing! It has a fun and challenging combat system that constantly requires you to innovate and strategize to advance, all while throwing subtle hints as to what the heck is going on with this world and its creatures. The battle graphics are pretty fun as well, and the whole thing is a throwback to retro sci-fi RPGs with slow-burn secrets and a story system that shows and tells in equal measure. If I had to change one thing, it would be to increase the variety of locations and different creatures you can encounter, as well as possible animations for them, but I also understand that can be a huge undertaking with smaller budgets. Game's smooth, game's fun, game's interesting! And I don't mind games with a couple dozen (dozen) dad jokes in there. But...is Flo always gonna be around? Her ditsy shtick is funny the first couple times, but it'd be interesting to see her interact more directly with whatever world she pops up in. Thumbs up from me, for sure.

Quality roguelite experience! Interesting premise of exploring a hijacked-by-'shades' laboratory, fun combat with a good selection of characters to use. Loot to find and equip along with stuff like Tomes that let any character learn that Skill, very cool stuff! Worth checking out imo, thanks for the hard work dev! :)
