Hunter x Hunter Nen x Survivor Gets Design Update as Game Goes Live for U.S. Players
Released on Feb. 18 in Japan, Hunter x Hunter Nen x Survivor was developed by BushiRoad and WonderPlanet as one of the premier titles in the Bushimo brand. Upon the game's announcement, Nen x Survivor was described as "the first survival rogue-lite title in the HUNTER x HUNTER series."
An early trailer for Hunter x Hunter Nen x Survivor showcased epic isometric battles between player characters and massive hordes of enemies. Through in-game achievements and various gacha elements, players can level up and unlock different characters, all while establishing their own gameplay style.
Since its release, Nen x Survivor has been met with widespread acclaim from players. As of the time of writing, the title holds a 4.7/5 rating via the Google Play Store, as averaged across more than 10,000 reviews. The game also boasts more than 500,000 downloads on the platform. Given its very recent U.S. release date, a Metacritic score has yet to be revealed.
Though Shizuku was only introduced in Volume 8 of the original (and still ongoing) Hunter x Hunter manga, she quickly cemented her place as one of the series' most iconic characters. An incredibly capable fighter and Nen user, Shizuku conjures her sentient vacuum cleaner Blinky to help her brutally tear her way through her opponents.
A member of the Phantom Troupe, Shizuku is a cold-blooded killer who has carried out countless murders and multiple massacres. Shizuku has remained one of the primary antagonists of Hunter x Hunter since her debut, and continues to play a key role throughout the current Succession Contest Arc.
In January, Hunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi gave fans an optimistic update on the future of the manga, which has gone on frequent hiatus over the years. Togashi shared a sketch of protagonist Gon Freecss along with a message that roughly translates to "No. 421 dialogue and cover coloring completed." This has led fans to anticipate new chapters of Hunter x Hunter some time this summer.
Hunter x Hunter Nen x Survivor is available now on mobile via Google Play and the Apple Store.
