platform jumping areas as she defeats enemies and overcomes obstacles in this game that has exploration elements similar to Metroid style titles.\u00a0 Hunter\u2019s Legacy is available to download on PS4 and Xbox One, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n<p>Ikki can run and jump, as well as swing her sword to defeat nearby enemies.\u00a0 As you play, you\u2019ll gather new items and learn skills that\u2019ll help you progress even further.\u00a0 You\u2019ll learn a roll move for dodging attacks, as well as nab items like arrows, which you can use to defeat flying enemies or hit long-distance switches.\u00a0 You can also aim your arrows as well as upgrade them to magical arrows by charging up the firing button.\u00a0 Defeated enemies may drop fish, which can refill your health, or money which you can use to buy items in a shop in town.\u00a0 By collecting special ores, you\u2019ll be able to upgrade your health, sword, and other abilities, too.<\/p>\n<p>The game has some Metroid style elements to it, meaning you may have to backtrack with new items in tow so you can reach previously unreachable areas.\u00a0 Unfortunately the game is not quite as interesting as Metroid.\u00a0 The game gets pretty challenging and frustrating early on, and the graphics are a bit amateurish.\u00a0 Worst of all is the map, which doesn\u2019t help at all.\u00a0 But if you like challenging 2-D adventures, you may want to give this a try anyway.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/hunter_screen-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
