Fear and Hunger is not for everyone and I couldn't really recommend it to anyone that isn't some kind of gaming masochist. If it does click with you it's an extremely rewarding experience. This game is obviously not without its flaws, most of which come from its RPG Maker limitations. Isometric maps can be a real pain even with the added diagonal movement. It's easy to get caught on things when evading enemies in the overworld. The menus work in strange ways when using items. I never encountered any game breaking bugs though (except for one crash when I died but at that point it didn't matter).

There's so much I like about this game on a conceptual level. All the characters, the designs, the story and more are just so cool. In a way it feels unfair that this game can completely and utterly shaft me and I'll accept it because it just 'comes with the territory'. The blind experience is tedious but I'll persevere anyway because I'm enjoying every moment of it.
