60 of 60 · most liked firstDarkest Hunters could have been a brilliant adventure based puzzle rpg, if only devs cared to raise their ambition a notch. On the paper it all works and sounds appealing : leveling with points, tons of loot, elemental equipements and mobs, a journey through regions of the chaotic world, gold and shops, upgrades, and a tiles combo system for more spectacular fights! Doesn't it ring a bell? Yet even with the greatest model, DH stopped at the minimum requirement of the genre : a grid, rewards,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darkest Hunters is a fantasy puzzle R.P.G. developed by ECC GAMES, Ultimate Games S.A. and published by Ultimate Games S.A.. Are you prepared for a grand adventure to battle viscious monsters and find glorious loot? Then don your armor, take up a sword and ready yourself for battle. As a member of the Hunters only you can defeat the Lord Of Darkness and save the land from evil. Are you up to the challenge? This is a wonderful title that any fan of the puzzle/match 3 genre, like me, should take…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darkest Hunters is, at its core, mediocre. It borrows and uses tried and true tropes and methods, but does nothing to build upon them in order to make itself stand out. While it's perfectly understandable, though unsurprising, for an RPG to feature a story about heroes in chainmail and wizard hats setting out to defeat the lord of darkness, it's a story that's been told to death. It's common because it's effective for the RPG genre, but anyone who's played enough RPGs knows this story backwards…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned after 4 hours. I was ready to quit after 90 minutes, but I pushed onwards hoping it would improve. It didn’t. Completion: about 25%, All stars on first 15 of 60 levels. Enjoyment: Boredom I had subtle hopes for this game and I was contemplating picking it up for a buck and a half when I saw it bundled and picked up the bundle instead. The introduction tells a bit of the background story which I forgot 2 minutes later. The main gameplay is moving around collecting resources in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather complicated genre of gem matching game plus rpg dungeon adventuring. Mission tasks based across a large map. Overly extensive library of different sets of equipment items and spells. Large map of node stages, each with its own criteria in obtaining three stars. Crucial in micromanaging the elements and improving equips to match each stages' tasks and difficulties. Coarse graphics. Travelling long distances can be tedious with mouse clicks. Costs for leveling equips gets overly pricey.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, I can't recommend this game. It seemed like it had an interesting premise and mechanics, and was on sale for only $3.59, but ultimately I felt that it wasn't challenging enough to hold my attention. It also appears that despite having a reasonably large selection of characters, they all function the same, have the same stats, story, and skills - it's purely a cosmetic choice for your icon.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the game at first but after a point I was just going through the motions and finishing all objectives in a mission even when they were tedious. I got to the point where I am just steamrolling everything with like 1 full map left to finish and now it's 100% boring. The main issue is that with range you can manage all encounters so you take no damage and pump all your leveling into magic or attack. If you use a gear set it makes all other gear redundant. The bows are OP and I just 1-2…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend. Pleasant and fluid gameplay, difficult fighting and character leveling. The game worth the money.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I paid 64 cents and played this game for 3 hours, so I suppose I got my money's worth. And it was fun for those 3 hours. I have been addicted to Gems of War and thought this would be similar. It isn't really, but that is not a bad thing. You only match gems to move and collect gold, as well as creating more powerful gems with 5-plus matches. I like the concept. Before I stopped playing, I only found 2 things I disliked. The first is there is no point in choosing different characters. They are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tl;dr: Mobile game disguised as a pc title. I don't want to write this negative review, since there are titles like bejeweled out there that are pc titles... But, unlike bejeweled, the control scheme is hard, because it didn't transition well from mobile. The Mobile leftovers The camera The fact that the camera doesn't zoom in on the gem-line im about to do. Which means, that if you try to hit more than 4 gems in a row, good luck clicking the 5th when the camera stays put in place.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game could be interesting if its RPG elements were more fleshed out. But there's no story, all characters play the same, light and heavy armors play the same, all melee weapons play the same... Then remains only the puzzle elements, and they're very, very basic. And repetitive. In the end, I got bored with only one hour of playtime. Not worth even on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While this does feel like a ported mobile game, it has a good bit of quality to it. It can be very challenging, especially if you are trying to complete all the challenges for each level. If you liked Puzzle Quest or just puzzle games in general, give this a shot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worthless. No challenge, no interest, just boredom. A mobile game balanced around forcing you to wait for things; for this version, they removed the waiting, but didn't bother re-balancing or even changing the in-game messages talking about the waiting that they removed. Likewise, they didn't even bother updating the control scheme; it's all left-mouse-button based, so opening menus is done via an awkward click-and-hold that would be better done on this platform with some other gesture.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is bad, and you should feel bad for playing it. Even if you receive it free, you should feel bad. Don't get me wrong - it has ideas. But the ideas never go anywhere and don't come to any meaningful fruition or satisfying gameplay function. There's equipment, but it's largely meaningless. There's grid pattern/match-3 gameplay, but enemies ignore it. There's spells, but they amount to little other than a ranged attack. There's levels, but aside from token resource maximum…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game in a bundle. Feels like a mobile game, poor controls and slow gameplay for no reason. Don't buy it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not actually bad, it just doesn't have enough of a hook to it. You'll have fun for a level or two and then probably will never think of this game again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do like match 3 genre like many others. When I saw this game, I expected kinda extended version of Puzzle Quest (in terms of story) or Dungeon Raid (battle style). Well, the animation and the retro-style graphics were okay, and the large map was both interesting and challenging (at least, for the first time). However this game forces grinding and has very weak (or uninteresting) narratives, which are unbearable to me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just another port of a mobile game. Banal, little addictive, bugged; a waste of time and money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This feels like a cheap port of a bad mobile game: all touch drag controls, nonsense chest rewards, no room for depth.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun, Match 3 style (without having to match 3)... little strategy, little luck, easy to start and play... it's worth the small price, and it has very low system requirements as well as being only a few megabytes in size...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a "match symbols to fill up meters" and "hit bland monsters until they or you die" game. By this description, I hope you understand, how uninteresting everything is. The levels are bland, the animations are bland, the spells and equipment pieces are bland, it's just not fun. Shame, because it could have been a nice cheap game. But like this, it just feels uninspired. By no means bad or a scam or anything. Just bland. Follow my curator at…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is ok I would not give it a swcreaming endorcement pick it up on sale and kill some time all it is worth
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool game. I love pixelart and this kind of games. Quite simple concept but very fun to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →mobile port of a puzzle quest knockoff. a voiced but not subtitled intro starts the game (every single time) with 'hold mouse to skip' on top. good, no tapping, I thought. then the splash screen appeared with 'tap to play', but the mandatory tutorial reverted back to clicking. the game's nothing if not inconsistent. 13 heroes to choose from, just a different avatar and backstory. your character has health, attack and mana, recovered by matching their respective colors. matching and even not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darkest Hunters is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. The game is a badly made, badly translated, very basic Match-3 (Bejewelled ripoff), but with some crap RPG elements tacked onto it. This isn't making Match-3 games better, it's making RPGs worse. From a technical perspective, as a mobile app, this doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thinly veiled mobile skinnerbox transplant with nigh on impossible pay to win choakpoints. Good concept though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Middling-quality mobile game port that can't shake its past trappings: Text cues were copied directly from the mobile version, referencing "tapping", "diamonds", and "speed up" even though you're now on M+KB and diamonds and timers have been removed. Even though diamond rewards have been replaced with extra coins, various prices throughout the game were never scaled and are still set at high points to incentivize no longer available microtransactions. Screen panning and control mechanics are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just highly repetitive, utterly boring botched-up piece of mobile app, wanted to be a computer game. Don't fall for screenshots and their pleasing pixelated looks: you literally won't get anything other than what showed up in them. The gameplay is stupid in the same way, and not because of it being a casual game. As for RPG, it doesn't have any decent story. And the UI could be better if the devs ever had cared for a PC version. To sum this up, it's not even near close to the classics like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just waaay too boring. I've tried to give it a chance but there's nothing that makes me want to come back and play again. I like matching games, and on the surface it looks like a match X type, but it isn't really, the matching up just charges your health/mana/fighting ability. Controls are a bit clunkly too, for example where you could get a huge run of matches but the screen doesn't scroll when you hit the edges, or when you want to undo your "match line" you have to retrace everything…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pseudo-puzzle pseudo-RPG. Tank every enemy tile you see and if you're not tough enough, run back to collect more red and green gems. Then pickup generic loot from chest tiles and sell it away (as there won't be anything useful anyways). Do this x "points on the map" times. Can't even tell it's utterly bad or something, but it bores you really fast.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game feels very mobile-ish, as the F2P roots are easy to spot and quite impactful. It is also grindy and repetitive. But sometimes, you need that 3 a.m. McDonald's fries-and-vanilla-shake combo, you know? Catching it on sale (it's like every week on -90%) makes it an excellent background or loading-screen companion for other games :) For more match-3 game recommendations, check out this curator page: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43514067/]here <3. Can't stop to match 3…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend the game, but on sale. It is not great, not terrible, it's fun for an hour or 3, but after that, you really have seen all it has to offer. I found it a tad on the simple side, yet poorly explained at the same time. I got to the level 12 boss before I died for the first time, and I am not a 'good' player, so I would say the difficulty level is on the low side. Every level is basically a rinse and repeat. You can replay levels as often as you like to get more experience,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darkest C___er - I've known this game to be vile 💩 since its release on Android.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Delightfully addictivethis unique game offers the puzzle lover an interesting challenge. I would definitely reccomend it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too grindy and repetetive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the idea of a match-3 roguelike dungeon-crawler is inherently appealing to me, I found the gameplay loop got old really quickly. Sometimes, I just want to go to the other side of the map so I can get to the door, I don't want to have to keep drawing lines to get there. Many times, it seemed like the star quest goals would be impossible, stages literally not having enough of a given enemy for you to complete them, and I'm not sure what to do about that. Regular attacks also using a point…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyable and fun RPG match-3. Albeit enemy AI is lacklustre, whilst also noting that grinding is required (oddly) and it feels totally out of place.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting game. Cool ideas. It's just kind of boring. I was really into it at first but after three hours I don't really care enough to finish it. It just kind of faded and I lost all interest in the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite being a small and cute indie game it's too slow-paced, repetitive and monotonous. The problem is how to move around the map. The maps became larger, but the gameplay on them does not change from the first time, you just repeat the same thing over and over again, with no special abilities or obstacles to make movement less monotonous.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →gameplay you control an adventurer and you move it with a match 3 system. Some RPG elements are added : level, spell, weapons and gears. each gems you pass by refill hit points, attack points, mana and gold ; they are represented by green, red, blue and yellow gems respectively. attacking monsters require a certain amount of attack points and/or mana depending on which weapon/spell used. level progression you have six missions on "normal" map, and you have three mission instead on "boss"…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get this on sale. It's not nearly as bad as people as stating. Feels more like a board game combined with a casual game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Darkest Hunters it's a fun game it has steam achievements & trading cards. You start out at level 1 but you are a Hero able to take on Mighty spiders and find the treasure. solve puzzles upgrade your weapons and armor challenge your friends by getting all the stars on every level. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1728065030 I love the game and will be playing a lot more of it I did a stream and handed out keys for this game. A lot of the people in the stream wanted to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to say - for as cheap as it goes thats a really nice rogue-like connect-3 game - I don't know how the grinding aspect will end up eventually, but after 5 hours the game is nice - paid less than for you mum's services, about 3 Euros, go grab it, boys and girls.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OMG - will you work to make this game more boring please? I mean, it's tied for tick tack toe right now and I'd like to say I've played the absolute most boring freaking game in the world, and I've played most of them...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →really fun rpg and it's great time killer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've given this game a fair shot - 13+ hours. I've completely finished 22 game boards which is very close to 40% of the areas. I'm totally sick of the grinding and lack of challenge. I had 1 legit death from monsters (griffins surrounded me early on when I was weak) and the rest of the deaths were because I was trying to set up triple-kills with one attack (you need to kite the monsters close together, so you take a bunch of attacks while you do that). Maybe it gets harder in the next 60%…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An interesting idea, but the implementation of this idea is flat, there are no interesting mechanics or gameplay development. The art style is also a bit lame for my taste. As a mobile game it's good, but as a PC game it's pretty boring.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring and too expensive even for $5
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's kind of an interesting concept, though the balance is a bit weird. It's definitely aimed at the casual crowd and is a mobile port; the UI is a dead giveaway. The RPG side of thing is rather weak, mostly because the game isn't all that challenging to begin with. It's not gonna be for everyone, but honestly, yeah I could recommend it to a few people.
