Fight. Choose. Grow stronger. In about 5 minutes. Cyber Dark Hunter is a pixel-art action looter roguelite where you read bullet hell patterns, cut through enemy hordes, and build your playstyle with Wave upgrades and gear you bring home. Short portals take about 3 minutes, and a full stage takes about 5. Enjoy a dense run of combat, upgrades, and loot whenever you have a spare moment. [READ THE BULLET HELL. STRIKE BACK.] Dodge swarms of enemies and projectiles, then counterattack with form-specific attacks and wide-area suppression skills. Feel the rush of clearing a crowd and the tension of breaking through a powerful enemy's bullet pattern in one compact run. [CHOOSE A BUILD EVERY WAVE] After each cleared Wave, choose 1 of 3 upgrade cards. Stack effects such as attack power, critical chance, defense, recovery, drops, and risk effects to change your attacks and visual effects. Wave upgrades reset when a stage ends, so every run asks you to create a new build. [CHOOSE LOOT. GROW STRONGER.] Defeat bosses to choose rewards from weapons, armor, and chips. Gear rolls random stats and abilities, letting you build for damage, durability, boss fights, or bullet-hell survival. Refine the gear you bring home and make your next run even stronger. [BUILD RESONANCE CHANGES YOUR ATTACKS] Combine forms, weapons, armor, chips, and Pods to trigger Build Resonance. Your chosen setup changes how you attack, control the field, and defend. Pods act independently to support you with shots, homing attacks, spread fire, reflection, EMP, and more. [DIFFERENT FORMS. VARIED BATTLEFIELDS.] Choose from forms with distinct combat styles and find the way you want to fight. Take on standard portals, CROWD battles against enemy swarms, and high-difficulty Abyss encounters with different rules and enemy formations. Play in short bursts, then keep experimenting as gear and builds open new ways to fight.
