Hunter's Soul

About

Hunter's Soul is a 2D action RPG where you battle monsters using a mix of melee and spellcasting. Each enemy you defeat gives you a soul to spend on upgrades. These upgrades boost stats or unlock new abilities. Boss fights teach special techniques that change how you play. The game loops through combat, upgrades, and boss encounters in a straightforward dungeon crawl. The core loop is tight with satisfying incremental progress. Learning new abilities from bosses adds variety to later runs. Players can remap shortcuts to access techniques quickly during fights. Developed by HUNTERS and released in 2019, it has a minimalist approach that focuses on combat depth over story. The simple but effective progression system makes it stick out in the 2D RPG space.
