Press release:
OSAKA – March 16, 2023.
The Osaka-based (Japan) indie games publisher DANGEN Entertainment and Bentonville-based (Arkansas, the US) indie games developer Moonlight Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their retro-like gothic fantasy ARPG “Hunt the Night“, is coming to PC via digital stores (Steam, GOG, and EGS) on April 13th, 2023, with Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox versions coming at a later date.

A brand new trailer showing never-before-seen gameplay and enemies has been released to coincide with the announcement.

Inspired by the likes of The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania and Bloodborne, Hunt the Night offers a unique twist in the action-RPG genre with top-down retro-style adventure, dark fantasy lore, and challenging boss battles.

Hunt the Night is a retro-style action-RPG that combines fast, skilled gameplay with dark fantasy lore, 2D exploration and intense boss battles. Players control Vesper Blackbone, a member of the ‘Stalkers’ in charge of finding the key to reclaiming a perpetual daytime cycle, a move that will banish the horrors of The Night that have been annihilating humanity over and over. Throughout the world of Medhram, Vesper must explore ruins and horrors, go through dungeons full of traps, enemies and puzzles, and successfully complete ‘Hunt’ missions against terrifying monstrosities.

The story of this condemned and decadent world is given through characters, the world design and collectibles. Discover all kinds of locations, from ancient cathedrals and libraries of knowledge to lost kingdoms and devastated floating cities. Vesper is joined by her dark counterpart, Umbra, who not only grants a teleportation skill that grants access to new areas, but also becomes a driving point in the story and narrative in Hunt the Night.

While exploring Medhram, Vesper can dash through enemies and perform combos with a variety of melee weapons that have different attributes, including swords, spears, claws and more. Players use the right stick to aim Vesper’s firearm to shoot enemies from afar, or blast them up close with a shotgun for major damage. Unleash Vesper’s dark powers in a pinch to get the edge in battle, or use a healing rose at a safe distance to rally once more.
