Veteran Metroidvania/ARPG enjoyer here. This game either clicks or makes you rage-uninstall. Let me save you $12 ramen money: HARD SKIPS IF YOU HATE: • Grind-heavy RPG mechanics – This ain’t your "git gud" Hollow Knight/Ori-style purity test. You’ll need to farm upgrades or get bullied by late-game bats (yes, bats) and teleport-spamming bosses. • Sunshine-and-rainbows storytelling – Zero grimdark lore hunts here. Imagine FFXV roadtrip energy with anime girls shitposting instead of saving the world… until they kinda have to. Not for Bloodstained-edge enjoyers. • Pre-Genshin jank models – Characters look decent zoomed out but hit that early Honkai Impact 3rd uncanny valley in cutscenes. At least they’re not Bloodstained-tier monstrosities. Copium-level horny bait – Don’t buy this for fanservice. Go play Stellar Blade (PC port when?) if you want nut-bustingly thirsty designs. • 40-hour Metroidvania – Feels like open-world bloat with "find-the-hidden-chest" exploration. Speedrun-friendly this ain’t. • BOSS FIGHT BLUES – Most are DPS checks with ADHD teleports. "False stagger" mechanics will trick Soulslike veterans into eating instant-armor attacks. • Boomer-compliant input complexity – Combos require actual Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike fingers. Gen Zs used to one-button supers = insta-refund. • No dude protagonists – Three waifus + himbo Demon King. Dudebro crowd mald at own risk. WORTH IT IF YOU DIG: • Chill JRPG-style build-crafting (weapon combos/magic synergies go hard) • Buttery combat flow – hitstop, aerial cancels, and gadget builds feel chef’s kiss • Gorgeous biomes (floating islands! snow temples!) with Falcom-tier OST • Chaotic-good party banter (imagine Konosuba cast doing a JRPG) TLDR – A flawed gem for oldheads craving PS1-era Castlevania vibes. Casual-friendly? Hell no. Respectable 7/10 if you meet its grindset.

Frontier Hunter is basically metroidvania junk food. It's modelled after the Igavania style (think Bloodstained) - a standard ability gated metroidvania with rpg-lite character progression. The gameplay loop of combat, exploration and fetch quests is fun and moreish while the relativity large map is an easily readable tile based affair with pins for marking treasures and such. Level design is unexciting but not awful. It's all serviceable stuff. On the downside this game has very little challenge, looks ok but lacks any real identity as a result of the bland environments and derivative anime designs, and has a trope filled anime story with a dodgy English localisation. I still had a decent time as a fan of the genre, so a thumbs up overall.

This is the most fun I've had with the "RPGvania" subgenre since Bloodstained. Fronter Hunter sees you playing as 3 separate characters who are swappable on the fly. Each character has multiple weapon types to equip with their own fight game style combos. That together with the vast array of magic spells and passives creates a nearly never ending box of toys to play with throughout the game. That's exactly what I wanted out of the game, so I had a great time. That said, there are some caveats that might hinder others enjoyment of the game. The story is ecchi anime nonsense. The map is vast, but not particularly interesting in its level design. The difficulty curve is strange. Some early fights are rather difficult, but then all difficulty disappears until 2/3 of the way through. There's an extremely difficult boss followed by a couple of rather difficult bosses, and then its back to easy for the remainder of the game. That's about all I have to say. Absolutely worth the time if you just want to have some fun with a huge variety of combat abilities and fighting styles and aren't too worried about Hollow Knight levels of polish.

It's a lot of content but more of the same. Game that drags on and on and on. It's not metroidvania, just a little bit of its elements with few closed doors, progress is rather linear. Characters are cute and feel nice to control but unofortunately here is little to none platforming challenges. Combat feels off, I think there needs to be less animation after being knocked off(you get hit by consecutive attacks and can't do anything), hitboxes feel just weird where if you stand close abilities just go through enemy and miss, maybe adding collision detection would help.I think it needs A LOT of tuning,it is not in acceptable condition for game that is basically just non-stop combat. There are several systems to grind for but I didn't find them necessary to progress. I would still recommend the title for anyone who likes 2D anime action games with cute girls.

Charming indie Metroidvania with a healthy amount of content. Story Live-streamer military officer Erza and her crew explore a strange new land. It's a light-hearted event-driven story rather than a character-driven one. Don't expect award-winning material, but it moves the plot along and the cutscenes are fully voiced and look good. The character chemistry is pretty good, though the characters don't stray too far from their anime tropes. Score: 6.5/10 Presentation The first time I saw the trailer I was like "wow". For what it's going for, the vibrant, cel-shaded anime style works well. Attacks are flashy, voices and sound effects are on-point. There's a lot of detail, from the characters' outfits to environments. For the most part, the UI was intuitive too. Score: 8/10 Gameplay There's two main parts to Frontier Hunter, the Metroidvania part and the supporting systems. The Metroidvania part is pretty solid and a familiar formula. Navigate various 2D stages, do quests, beat the boss etc. Along the way, Frontier Hunter's combat system is combo-based. Control up to 3 characters, unlocked via main story progression. Choose 2 weapons for each character. The weapons have a set of normal attacks, jump attacks, specials done with commands like back-forward+Attack or down-up+Attack, supers. Movement starts limited but eventually gets to air dashing and double jumping and wall climbing. After unlocking a few specials and getting nice gear, it's a pretty fun formula. The supporting systems are overall not bad but somewhat janky. The map feels open but is divided into rooms. Transitioning from one room to another, for example jumping into a hole or walking through a corridor, changes the camera view completely and respawns all enemies in the new room. It can get quite disorienting to stand at the top of a stage, jump to swipe at a flying bat and oops it's the next room, then get pulled back down to the previous room where everything has respawned. Or the same thing from getting prodded and falling into a hole. Another thing is while the game is mostly helpful with quest markers early on, later there are puzzles involving locked doors or inaccessible items where they aren't marked with a quest marker despite being important to a quest. There is a manual map-marking feature so you can mark them yourself. The label was kind of small so I missed it until fairly late -- use it! Also, building a character involves a Tetris minigame. Enemies drop stat boosters in various shapes like horizontal bars, squares, vertical bars and so on. Every equipment piece has a bunch of empty boxes to fill with these boosters. A fairly big part of the game revolves around trying to fit everything nicely across all 3 gear slots (weapon, armor, accessory). Score: 7/10 Overall: 7.2/10 Fun and very well put together, just with quite a bit of getting lost, janky transitions and time spent playing Tetris.
