Mistfall Hunter's big idea is to mix the Soulslike with the extraction shooter. And while it's not the game's only idea, it's pretty darn close. There's a tense and moreish experience to be had here, but one that currently struggles to stand out from its influences. Though I suppose having a user interface that's about as friendly as a swarm of angry wasps is one way to stand out…
If your least-favorite part of Dark Souls was being able to lock onto your enemy, then boy is Mistfall Hunter the game for you. Everyone else will probably spend their first hour with it inventing new curse words as they attack empty areas right next to monsters over and over. Otherwise, Soulslike veterans will mostly feel right at home. Choose your class between warrior, mage, archer, and more, then dive into a world of brutal combat, limited heals, awkward jumping and flavor text on items you have no time to read because something is busy killing you.
