While Fear and Hunger looks like it was made on RPG maker, making you think it's an RPG game where you level up and obtain skills, it is disguised under that umbrella and it is in actuality a survival horror game because you actually have to rely on trial and error and experience to beat it and use your head a little bit to overcome certain obstacles. When you defeat an enemy, you don't recieve any experience to level up your character. Instead you have to hope on RNG that the guy you killed has some good item. This also applies when you search for stuff inside barells and boxes. One signature mechanic of the game is the coin toss.
In some occasions such as when you are interacting with a treasure chest or when you are looking for weapons, you flip a coin with tails or heads and if you find the correct symbol you get something that might potentially help you in progressing with the game. Otherwise, you get nothing.
The coin toss mechanic can become very brutal in some occasions (Such as the bed save game feature where if you fail the coin toss, you come face to face with one of the most dangerous enemies in the game). This game is both fair and savage. The layout in some parts of the game is randomized and the enemies are placed in different positions so as to increase the difficulty. But still even with the game's high difficulty, it is still very addicting to play.
I like the challenge of this game, the in-depth lore, the different characters you play as, the NPCs and I've got to say it is a pretty unique game and one of the best games I've ever played. Most of the enemies are as weird as the enemies of Earthbound and Mother 3 , but a lot less family friendly and some of the characters remind me of the Godfather of dark fantasy media, Berserk. This game has a lot of disturbing imagery and depictions of violence.
