Going into Fear & Hunger mostly blind is an exercise in futility and misery, even if you are already accustomed to freaky little RPG Maker games. Getting into combat is pretty much instant death but also required, experimentation is discouraged as much as it is necessary, and saving is so infrequent that losing can put you back over an hour. The story somet…

This game is one of a kind and absolutely worth your time if you enjoy unforgiving games that allow the player to fail and learn. I don't even know how to describe it. This game is EXTREMELY dark and graphic, the most brutal dark fantasy I have ever seen. Lots of explicit gore and sexual acts, and very heavy themes like rape are explored with no hesitation…

The world of Fear & Hunger is VERY dark. THE GAME IS MEANT ONLY FOR MATURE AUDIENCES! Extreme violence and gore are everyday sights in the dungeons and death is one of the easier ways to go in the game. The game has drug and substance abuse, heavy themes ranging from self-mutilation to sexual violence. None of the themes are taken lightly however. They are all part of the world building and there to create the unique atmosphere where the game measures just how far the player is willing to go in order to survive.

Parts of the dungeon layout, events, loot and enemy placements are randomized with few different variations to keep things fresh with subsequent playthroughs. The game is designed with the classic trial and error formula, so you can expect to start the game over and over again. But as long as you learn from your mistakes, you can quickly find yourself at the deeper levels of the dungeon.

The combat in Fear & Hunger is turn-based akin to classic role-playing games, but with a twist of it’s own. You can target individual limbs of your enemies to dismember them strategically and thus maximize your chances for survival. However, just the same, enemies can also cut off the arms and the legs of your playable characters if you are not careful. You need to prepare well for every encounter if you wish to stay alive. But don’t forget that running away from threats is often the best solution as well. There are many ways for survival in Fear & Hunger - You can find better equipment, learn different blood and love magic, fuse characters into each other, pray different gods, talk your way out of battles, meet new party members, snipe enemies from distance, use traps to disable them… and so on. The Idea is to use what you got at your disposal and be creative with it.
