Mist Hunter Reviews

[i]Mist[/i] is the German word for [i]manure[/i]. A fitting descriptor for this game, since it is good for, well, something, but not something you would usually want to spend a lot of time with.

A fun rogue-like shooter with an interesting premise. I also really like the art style and general gameplay feel.

Don't let these positive reviews fool ya...just joking, this game is amazing. Real simple break down for a real simple game, you are in a battle arena and you defeat the really colorful magical AI like zombies, the rounds get harder every wave. You have 4 slots for 4 different guns, it runs real smooth, feels fantastic...it's a classic retro but modern (if that makes sense) feel that makes it unique and fresh...I love colorful games and this does it for me on that level...Very good game and worth the price. I say...GO FOR IT!

So the color of the enemies indicates what kind of weapon your supposed to use? Then why is an enemy who is all purple supposed to be shot with the useless green weapon? Oh he has 4 barely visible green things around his neck. Also having a bunch of bunch of ridiculous sounding proper nouns doesn't give your world seem well thought out and interesting it makes it like reading a young adult novel; annoying and silly.

This game is really fun, except for the ammo and the stupid antidote. I can get past it, but it's just annoying, I wish there was a gamemode where you could turn that shit off. Still a great ass game that I love though, hope to see some updates soon

Just slightly above average really. Gameplay is good, but I don't feel enticed to do anything crazy because the combo counter is bland. Health drops don't promote you fighting, rather running away, and the antidote mechanic meant to make you stay in the fray doesn't work and also just makes you run away.

This game has no soul, and its ugly as hell. You have to use specific weapon to kill a specific enemy, which is a good for for the first 4 seconds, after that they come in groups, and you cannot just shoot a group itself with several weapons.

Mist Hunter is a game in which I purchased expecting an interesting roguelike experience with very different mechanics and interesting map layouts. What I got instead, however, differed. Let's talk about the main mechanic: the antidote system. Basically, you have this space cancer that can only be sustained by collecting antidote cans that make sure you don't fucking die. And, honestly, it might have been able to work. However, the fact that the game wasn't built around it makes it super tedious to break up the action and find some shitty antidote. The antidote system really weakens the game, and the weapons (a good amount are either really piss poor or outmatched by others) are sectioned to being useful to certain enemies. Not only that, but the enemies are goddamn damage sponges. No matter how many times you take a picture of them or bash their brains out with a baseball bat, they just don't die. It's a hassle switching between four elements or "mists" to kill certain monsters. Purple ones are extremely powerful, especially since the purple mist weapons are extremely lackluster. The red jar weapon, however, is extremely overpowered, dealing extreme damage to everything. The weapon balancing is off, the health packs give you, like, 19 health starting on, and in my eyes, it's not a "rougelike"; it's a shitty, unbalanced and unfair round based shooter that kills you in 90 seconds if you don't arbitrarily go to the random side of the map that the antidote is on. It's a mess. Especially some of the later maps, where the verticality and confusing layout really shits on the experience. A promising concept turned sour with piss poor execution.

Wish this game had modding support or something more, because after a while the game becomes boring, which sucks because i like the wave based format with upgrades, one of the main issues i have with the game is that the enemy health scaling is ridiculous, at a certain point you cannot kill them unless you have the right ammo, and ammo gets very sparse as you get later in the game, i feel like this game needs a level editor or some sort of custom way to play around with the fun mechanics in the game, I feel like i cannot recommend this with the lack of content and little variety (in respects to weapons and what you can use)

Its good but I feel having ammo was a mistake, The only reason my runs end is because I run out of ammo and have to wait for my one "infinite ammo" weapon to recharge which is really slow, then try to fight off the horde of blue and red enemies that have spawned sends the flow of the game to a painful grind.
