Dec. 2024

My best description of this game is that it's a very good Slay the Spire clone, to the point it could have just been a mod. But out of all the Slay the Spire clones out there, this one is very good. The game play is very standard fare roguelike-deckbuilder. The unique things this brings to the table is the art and story, and it does those well enough I'm going to go ahead and recommend this game. The game is very well put together, offers an enjoyable experience, and it's clear the devs put a lot of effort into it. I wouldn't pay full price for it at the moment, but it's worth the $5 if it ever goes on sale for that. I'm hoping by the time this game is out of early access, it will have been developed enough to differentiate itself to make the full price worth it.

Oct. 2024

Just a solid deckbuilder. Good characters, art, animations, and mechanics. Each character has multiple build archetypes to explore and the game is challenging enough you need to figure out how to actually use them. Easy recommend for anyone who likes the genre.

Sept. 2024

I recommend it but it's a tough recommendation at the moment. Pros: nice artwork, unique mechanics, interesting setting, lots of enemies, interesting cards and synergies, does plenty to set itself apart from StS and other roguelike deckbuilders. Cons: Performance issues, numerous translation issues, sound design is very bad and nowhere near the level of the visual design, game is too easy at it's base level but gets better after that.

July 2024

Just played a bit of this and it's really good for card game fans, my only small gripe is that the music is a bit repetitive. I really like the openness for builds and how card art serves to flesh out the character's personality.

May 2024

It's Slay the Spire, but Xianxia. And it's awesome. Decks feel well-put-together, cards play smoothly, the art is FANTASTIC, and the translation is pretty good and only very rarely spotty. I'll put it this way: I didn't realize it was Early Access until a friend who I recommended it to pointed it out to me. All the characters feel distinct and fun. The bosses and enemies are all solid. Deckbuilding is fun, and rewarding, once you get a grip on how the game even works. One of the four characters starts out locked - I'd disagree with this choice, not because I disagree with locking a character, but because A Zi (the locked character) is WAY easier than Ao Yu. Lock Ao Yu instead, she's a lovely little creature but her gameplay is far more strategic and skill-based than any of the other three. As far as characters go? You've got Mo San, the alcoholic father (not mentioned if he's a dad but he gives dad vibes), who does high damage and generates high defense, at the cost of his own HP. Then, you've got CHILD WITH A GUN, Chuan, whose gameplay focuses around loading and shooting high-damage bullets. Next is A Zi (evil woman supreme), who is all about indirect damage through summons, and thematically focuses on the concept of gu. Lastly, there is Ao Yu, the supreme lovely creature, a little autistic (canonically, she has a very good trait called Autism, she's good autistic representation imo) who casts spells, gets stressed out, and has a meltdown (turns into a sweet dragon). Each character feels markedly distinct, they each have different playstyles and deck options within their own card list, and they're all fun enough you feel compelled to play each. Unlike other similar games (cough Slay the Spire cough) where you'll find a favorite and stick to them pretty religiously, at least in my experience. Overall? Yao-Guai Hunter gets a 10/10 in my book, and I'm excited to see what more they can do with it. It's already good enough to be a fully-released game. Minimal bugs or issues, only one game-breaking bug in 16 hours of playtime (and that was the only bug I ever found during play), amazing artistic choices, bold and rewarding gameplay? It's a winner for sure, chef.
