Critic Reviews for Frontier Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune

Frontier Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune doesn't do anything particularly new, but fans of Metroidvanias will find it well worth their time.

Frontier Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune would be easy to appreciate as a unpolished but obviously heartfelt metroidvania experience, if it weren't for the poorly executed and far too frequent cutscenes.

Ease of access is the focal point of Frontier Hunter: Ezra's Wheel of Fortune, making the experience as easy as possible to consume at the start. Once the game starts asking more of you, the issues with hit boxes and juggle damage blindside you after hours of not influencing the experience too much. That on top of a bland narrative and character design that looks like unedited AI-generated content makes the overall product easily avoidable.

Despite the story shortcomings, there is a lot to like about Frontier Hunter: Erza’s Wheel of Fortune. The gameplay shines above the rest of its shortcomings, and the diverse upgrade paths for various characters through crafting, loot, and equippable skills really helps make the game feel fresh and exciting throughout a fairly lengthy adventure. Even a year or so after its release Frontier Hunter is worth checking out, despite the absolute deluge of other titles available in the genre.

Some small level design slips, instability between air and ground movements, and the harsh interface of Frontier Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune do not eclipse this beautiful 2.5D sidescroller metroidvania. The title cares little about an almost forgettable story, but its gameplay shows a sum between speed and skill that is extremely satisfying and fun.

Overall, if you’re a fan of anime-style games with Metroidvania gameplay mechanics, then this one is a no-brainer. It lacks the challenging combat of say Hollow Knight but it’s a fun romp with some stylish cut scenes and over-the-top characters that will keep you entertained throughout.

Frontier Hunter: Erza's Wheel of Fortune is a conventional metroidvania but quite fun and entertaining. Without innovating excessively, it presents us with a combat system that is quite developed based on the three playable characters, whose full potential is not fully exploited. Artistically and audiovisually is where the IceSitruuna studio has been most irregular, but it is fair to keep in mind that we are talking about a four-person studio. Otherwise, Erza's adventure is highly recommended.
