Billed as "Genshin Impact" meets the Metroidvania realm, "Frontier Hunter: Ezra's Wheel of Fortune" packs a bevy of anime hijinks into an expansive, exploration-driven package.
The dev team at IceSitruuna follows the success of "Tower Hunter: Ezra's Trial" with a game that takes bigger swings and packs more dynamic twists and turns into the cleverly written tale.
Often in games of this ilk, combat is a monotonous chore that bottlenecks the storytelling. The throwdowns in "Ezra's Wheel of Fortune" (2019), however, is the opposite. An invigorating mix of tactics, twitch skills and light puzzle dynamics, the conflicts make for invigorating triumphs and, with the challenging boss battles, devastating setbacks.
The sound and graphics designs are top-tier, and there is just enough quirkiness to keep the tone on the whimsical side rather than stumbling into mawkishness.
"Frontier Hunter: Ezra's Wheel of Fortune" may not rewrite the book on 2.5-D Metroidvania escapades, but it does manage to pen its own compelling chapter.
