Fear & Hunger is a horror dungeon crawler set in the dark and hopeless dungeons of fear and hunger. The game is a hybrid of survival horror and dungeon crawler genres with its influences ranging from Silent Hill to Nethack. There are roguelike elements to the game as well as a heavy foundation of a j-RPG.
As i've never played J-RPG like games, this was a perfect introduction in my eyes. With a mix of body and psychological horror, this dungeon crawler is one of my favorite games of all time. The second I noticed it on youtube I knew I needed to give this game justice by writing a video essay on it, even though I did not expect it to take this long.
And as I'm giving this game a lot of praise, I can't ignore the obvious flaws. This was the developers first proper game and it's filled with a bunch of bugs, where few of them are game breaking.
The obvious inspirations in the Crow Mauler being this Pyramid head knock-off and the Le'Garde story line being reminiscent of the Berserk series with Casca and Griffith.
Other than that, this Disturbing RPG is the perfect game for people intrigued by deep lore. Enjoy
