It’s not every day that a video game encourages you to give in to your base desires. Well, Mistfall Hunter is all about greed, and what you must do to sate your thirst for treasure, power, and dominion over a land that’s as chaotic as they come.
We’ve already spoken about how this one’s combat has us pretty excited to try it out. However, the latest gameplay deep dive from Bellring shows off a world that’s quite suited to apathy and nihilism, while remaining a credible threat thanks to the Gyldenmist. As a Gyldhunter, you’re going to be racing against others of your kind, while a few of you might choose to team up with some of them to gain an advantage.
That isn’t going to amount to much unless you’re spot-on with your chosen class. Do you like to harness the elements to devastate any and all who stand in your way? The Sorcerer is for you. Perhaps you like to hang back in the shadows and strike only when the time is right? The Shadowstrike is going to have you grinning from ear to ear even as you lay down some serious damage. The Seer and Blackarrow are other viable options, each bringing something unique to the table in a gameplay loop that’s going to make you become really good with your chosen class.
If you’re part of a team, things get even better, as one of you could choose to give all your loot to a fellow teammate so you can take a last stand and buy them time to escape the Gyldenmist’s corrupting influence. Be careful of who you trust, though.
All in all, this one’s shaping up to be an extraction RPG that stands out, and does it well. Mistfall Hunter arrives in July for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
