Mistfall Hunter, the brutal new fantasy RPG from Bellring Games, is making waves in the Steam charts with its latest open beta. Combining Dark Souls-style combat with the high-stakes gameplay of Escape from Tarkov, Mistfall Hunter is carving out a unique niche in the growing world of extraction shooters.
What Is Mistfall Hunter?
At its core, Mistfall Hunter is an extraction RPG that blends the tactical, loot-based gameplay of Tarkov or Hunt: Showdown with the punishing combat and dark fantasy setting of the Soulslike genre. You’ll enter a massive map filled with PvE enemies and other real players, scavenge valuable loot, and try to extract before you're killed.
The catch? Death means losing all your gear. But if you take down another player, you can loot their equipment—adding a delicious layer of risk-versus-reward.
Choose Your Class and Fight to Survive
Players can currently choose from five playable classes, each offering a different combat style:
- Mercenary – Balanced melee brawler
- Sorcerer – Wielder of devastating elemental magic
- Blackarrow – Ranged archer specialist
- Shadowstrix – Agile assassin-type
- Seer – A versatile spellblade hybrid
Each class supports solo or team play, and the beta allows matchmaking for up to three-player squads.
Mistfall Hunter Beta Now Available
The latest open beta for Mistfall Hunter launched on Steam and is already seeing impressive engagement. On day one, the game reached over 9,500 concurrent players, despite server support being limited to just Korea and U.S. East. That’s a strong showing for an early access title in a crowded genre.
Bellring Games says the open beta will run for “over two weeks,” though an exact end date hasn’t been confirmed yet. Interested players can join directly via the game’s Steam page right now.
Why Mistfall Hunter Is One to Watch
In a sea of extraction shooters, Mistfall Hunter sets itself apart with:
- Soulslike-inspired third-person melee combat
- Dark fantasy worldbuilding
- Magic-infused skill trees and challenging bosses
- Persistent progression and high-risk looting
Its success so far suggests a real appetite for more RPG-heavy extraction games, especially ones with a strong PvE focus and class variety.
