Bellring Games and publisher Skystone Games have released a demo for the dark fantasy PvPvE action RPG 'Mistfall Hunter' on Steam. The full game is scheduled for release on July 30, with wishlist registration open on Steam, PS Store, and Xbox Games Store. Set in forbidden lands where gods have fallen and are swallowed by golden mist, players take on the role of a hunter revived by a mysterious girl named Tia. The objective is to collect gold dust to repair the web of fate while competing against other players and AI-controlled enemies. The game features a third-person perspective with a non-targeting combat system, allowing players to aim for enemy weak points while executing combos. Six classes are available, each able to switch between two weapon types or schools, with some changes possible in real time during combat. A talent system, equipment customization via dozens of gems, and over 10 active skills enable varied build options. The game supports solo play and team formation of up to three players. Seasonal updates will introduce new classes, arcane arts, maps, equipment, and treasures. The developers have stated there are no pay-to-win elements.
Each sortie is described as a high-stakes gamble: death means losing all loot and equipment carried. The player decides whether to extract safely with modest gains or push for greater wealth. The article frames the world as an "ultimate battlefield" for mind games between the player, fearsome AI enemies called "Corruptors," and other human-controlled "Rivals."
The non-targeting combat system allows players to aim for enemy weak points while mixing melee and magic. Tactical items can be used to surprise opponents, and the article emphasizes that situational play and flexible decisions heavily influence battle outcomes. The six classes are not bound by strict roles; players can build assault, trickster, disruption, or support styles by combining over 10 active skills and customizing equipment affixes with dozens of gems.
The developers have stated there are no pay-to-win elements. "In a fair competitive environment, only the player's own hunting skills determine victory or defeat," the article notes. Seasonal updates will add new classes, arcane arts, maps, equipment, and treasures, changing the battlefield environment and strategies over time.
