New Minigame Fiend Hunter: Edge of Fury
This action minigame was born from the idea, "What if we experienced Fiend Hunter as an action game?"
Introducing "Fiend Hunter: Edge of Fury."
It's a multiplayer action minigame where players control characters in real time to battle the fiends that appeared in Fiend Hunter.
Each fiend offers a total of three difficulty levels, and up to two players can enjoy multiplayer together.
In multiplayer mode, a strengthened fiend based on the "Very Hard" difficulty of single-player mode appears, making it require more intense cooperation for 2-player battles.
First, the massive boss you see on screen is Berserker.
Berserker is a fiend known for its wide-area attacks and electric discharges that can incapacitate targets.
Its attack range is broad, and its patterns are difficult to react to in time, so we recommend carefully analyzing its moves and proceeding with caution.
Next, we have Fiery Tiger.
Fiery Tiger is a fiend with a combat style that differs from Berserker.
It has swift movements and fiery attacks that cause burns, which will gradually deplete your HP.
Because it moves quickly and is difficult to confront head-on, we recommend a strategic approach from the sides.
There will be a total of two fiends available.
Next, I'll introduce the characters.
Character controls utilize five main buttons: movement, basic attack, special attack, guard, evade, and heal.
Most actions, except for movement and healing, consume stamina—so managing your stamina is crucial.
Additionally, all characters can trigger 'Just Guard' or 'Just Evade' by timing their guard or evade inputs precisely in response to fiend attacks.
A successful 'Just Guard' will automatically activate a character's unique additional skill, while a successful 'Just Evade' grants a temporary invincibility state, allowing you to safely avoid danger.
We've prepared a total of three characters, and each character has a unique combat style.
First, Blade is a damage dealer who builds up Sword Energy gauge through rapid consecutive attacks, then uses high-speed movement and special attacks to exploit enemy openings.
Efficient gauge management and precise timing are key to playing Blade successfully.
Mastering this allows for fast-paced and dynamic gameplay.
Next, we have Teresse.
Teresse is a charge-type damage dealer who is slow but delivers powerful single strikes.
Different effects are triggered depending on the charge level, so good judgment is crucial to maximize her impact.
She is especially effective at inducing Groggy, making her an excellent character for turning the tide of battle.
Last, we have Granhildr.
Granhildr is a damage dealer who applies constant pressure with stable survivability.
She excels in tactical combat by strengthening herself with buffs and weakening enemies with debuffs.
By applying various effects depending on the situation, she can take control of the battlefield and contribute to enhancing the overall combat efficiency of the team.
Try using various combinations to take down the fiends in multiplayer mode.
Each fiend has weak points on different body parts, and when those parts are attacked, the fiend takes increased damage.
If enough damage is dealt to a specific part, it will be destroyed, rendering the fiend temporarily incapacitated.
During this state, all attacks become critical hits, so it's the best time to unleash your most powerful moves.
However, if the fiend continues to take damage, it will enter an enraged state and become significantly stronger.
Because of this, it's important to fight strategically rather than simply attacking nonstop.
Single-player mode offers Normal, Hard, and Very Hard difficulties.
In multiplayer mode, the challenge is based on the Very Hard difficulty, but fiends are strengthened to match two-player co-op play.
You can compete with other players through two ranking systems: a single-player ranking for achieving your personal best record, and a multiplayer ranking where teams compete to set the best time.
You won't receive in-game currency as a reward for playing, but clearing challenges will earn you My Room furniture.
Additionally, while these particular challenges don't offer rewards, they're a great way to showcase your skills—so have fun taking them on!
