Dark Hunter Kuro Review + Walkthrough

This article is a walkthrough for “Dark Hunter Kurō” by the circle “PIEROCK GAMES”. You can download the game from Here. In addition to walkthrough charts and a list of H-scenes and conditions, it also includes various data such as where to obtain the Dragon Orb, so please be careful of spoilers.

Story Introduction

The protagonist, Kurō, works as a ” dark hunter ” in a town called Gasaki. The job of a dark hunter is to defeat the dark monsters that appear in this world, commonly known as ” Yamimon”. One day, Kurō receives a report that a large dark reaction has appeared in a forest on the outskirts of the town, and she decides to go to the site to investigate.

Kurō discovers a naked young man in Yamiana (the home base of Yamimon), which is thought to be where the dark reaction was coming from. His name is Sakana Tachio, and he was an ordinary Japanese businessman, but he ended up in this world after being reincarnated into another world, a common occurrence in light novels.

During the rescue, Tachio unconsciously absorbs and assimilates into the battle suit ” Yami Gear ” worn by Kurō. With nowhere else to go, Tachio ends up living as a freeloader in her house, taking care of all the household chores, while also helping out with her Yamigari activities as her battle suit…

Comments and reviews

①A battle system that makes full use of a variety of actions

This is a side-scrolling action game in which the player controls the main character, Kurō, and progresses through stages where enemies appear.  There are a variety of actions available for movement, and you can explore the map by making full use of a variety of actions such as triple jumps and wall walking.

Along the way, enemies called Yamimon may appear, and the protagonist, Kurō, has mastered the martial art of Maha Shinken , which allows her to fight enemies using martial arts. As with movement, there are multiple means of attack, with the two basic attacks being weak attacks and strong attacks that can be launched by consuming the power gauge.

When you hit an enemy, a skill gauge called ” Dark Power ” fills up, and by consuming this you can unleash powerful attacks such as the Gekkokyaku (Moonlight Kick), which unleashes a somersault kick, or the Zekkufuha (Extreme Wind Waves), which charges forward while guarding. The power of skills increases when used in succession, and there are 11 types in total , allowing you to perform brilliant combos with controls similar to those of a fighting game.

There are also a variety of other actions available, such as a special finishing blow that can be unleashed when a certain number of hits are reached , and a just defense that can be activated by dodging attacks at the right time, so the more you get used to the game, the more exhilarating it becomes to be able to attack enemies unilaterally.

Some enemies may launch H attacks on Kurō, seamlessly transitioning from battle to pixelated H animation. Also, Tachio’s semen, which has been assimilated with Kurō’s suit, contains ingredients that give Kurō strength, and it is possible to recover by having sex while exploring. Defeat by some boss enemies will also trigger a defeat H scene .

②Pure love sex at home

At the home base where Kurō and Tachio live, you will control Tachio instead of Kurō. By talking to Kurō, you can train and level up, and crystals needed for leveling up can be obtained by defeating enemies, and you can earn money by completing requests that can be accepted via mail at home.

By selecting the command ” I want to have sex♡ “, you will move to the bedroom and have sex with Kurō. In the pure love sex scenes here, you can basically switch between different positions and attacks by selecting commands, and in addition to pixel animations, there is also first-person perspective sex.

③ Impressions and reviews

This is the first work by the circle ” PIEROCK GAMES ,” and the main character is a busty hunter named Kurō. At key points in the story, there are American comic book-like scenes, which I think match the unique style of the game well. The tutorial explains how to play the game using gamepad commands, so it is recommended to play with a gamepad, but it is also possible to play with a keyboard without any problems.

However, at first it is difficult to understand which commands correspond to which actions, and it takes time to get used to it, so if you are interested, we recommend that you play the trial version before purchasing to check the operation feel. The operation keys can be freely changed in the options, so you can arrange them in a way that is easy for you to press.

Q&A Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How to unlock all H-Scenes?
A. Defeat H scenes are also automatically collected, so once you clear the game, all will be unlocked.

Q. I can’t beat the enemy
A. You can always lower the difficulty level from the settings on your sofa at home.
When fighting a group of small enemies, it is important to use skills to quickly defeat troublesome enemies.
Personally, I think it’s dangerous to deal with enemies that spin and charge at you quickly, as their HP will be reduced all at once and their attacks will likely hit multiple times.
In addition to recovering with the D key, you can also use the Finish Blow to recover while attacking the enemy, so make use of it.

Tips for playing

When fighting enemies, prioritize dealing with enemies that attack from a distance.
It takes time to defeat enemies with normal attacks alone, so make use of skills as well.
I recommend using ” Zekkūfuha (Extreme Wind Waves)”, which charges forward while guarding, as it consumes little power and is excellent.
Additionally, the finishing blow that can be delivered with 30 or more hits not only increases attack power but also recovers HP, so you’ll want to aim for it aggressively.

After clearing 1-1, you can relieve fatigue by giving a massage.
To operate with the keyboard, press SHIFT + SPACE.
If you increase your favorability by giving a massage, you can learn favorability skills.

Boss Strategy

Stage 1 (Mogurata):
If you get some distance from the boss, he will launch a charge attack.
This attack is easy to time, so parry it to reduce the purple gauge.
When the purple gauge runs out, he will enter a break state, so use a finishing blow or special move to reduce his HP in one go.

Stage 2 (Joe):
His rush attacks are quick, so you want to get close and try to parry him.
Many of his close-combat attacks are combos, so it’s easier to block the first one and then parry the second and subsequent attacks, which are easier to time.

Stage 2 (White Crow):
The attack speed is fast and it is difficult to parry.
There are many attacks, so if the enemy goes into an attacking motion, it is easier to parry by repeatedly tapping the guard.

Stage 3 (Gatekeeper):
If you wait at the left edge, it’s easier to dodge attacks and parry.
You can avoid the attacks of the tentacles above by crouching.
When the face glows purple, use the wire action to move up and attack the brain in the upper right while avoiding the attacks.
After a certain amount of time has passed, the brain will also launch an attack, so get off after attacking a certain amount.

Stage 4 (Luke):
His attacking style is similar to Joe’s, but the timing of the parry is a little harder to grasp. The
jumping spinning slash can be parried repeatedly, so it’s easy to break if you corner him against the wall.

Stage 4 (White Crow):
The shockwave of his kick, which he unleashes at medium distance, can deal a lot of damage if you counter it, so it’s easier to fight if you keep a little distance.

Stage 5 (Dark Explosive Spirit):
The preparatory movement of the attack is large, making it easy to parry, but the enemy’s firepower is high, so if you miss, your HP will be greatly reduced.
If you are not good at parrying, try dashing to get behind the enemy and attacking them to steadily reduce the break gauge.

Stage 6 (White Crow):
Unlike previous stages, he will use a lot of long-distance attacks.
They are easy to parry, so it’s easier to fight if you keep a certain distance.

??? (Final Boss):
He has a lot of attacks, so if you get close and press guard repeatedly, it’s easy to parry him.
He attacks from a long distance, so be careful even if there are enemies off-screen.
