Hey Casual Gamers!
Casual games feel like my boon from the real world around me. Everyone has something to complain about, and no one wants solve any issues that matter to you. Ready to just take it all over with a robot that does your own bidding?
Byte Hunter offers players the chance to control a robot that overtakes the labs humans have born it in. With no in-game purchases to be made, is this casual app game worth your time and phone space?
Time to run that .exe program and fire up this casual review!
Gameplay
Byte Hunter doesn’t have much of a tutorial other than the basics of movement and objective. This is one of those casual apps that keep it simple, yet addictive. Players control a robot bent on destroying all the security stopping it from hacking computers.
With some various power ups and tier weapon upgrades, this casual app has a way of slow progression via hacking and helps players get stronger before going to the next level.
If only hacking was this easy in real life.
Graphics
Byte Hunter has some casual graphics, but updated for our current taste. While there may not be much exploration or variety going on, there’s still a pleasing and acceptable look that players will casually come back for more.
Incoming attacks have a clear graphic to them, yet they feel like heat-seekers sometimes.
I suppose what would make this casual app better would be a change of scenery every few levels or so. The best players get is weapon upgrades and the graphics of different weapons.
Music
Byte Hunter could use a bit of an update for it’s background music. While the soundtrack sounds decent for a few turns it will slowly be a minor annoyance to anyone without some music to play in another app.
The sounds of this casual app can get a bit repetitive as well, but not much of an issue either as the theme is there and goes along with what’s happening.
If there was any casual app that would be just fine without music or sounds for that matter, it would be this one.
Controls
Byte Hunter controls are pretty clunky at first. While the powerups help with movement, it will take some sticking it out for them to get better. It’s mostly the movement speed that feels very hindering.
I suppose this should be expected as players are just beginning to learn.
Security is no joke either. It feels like they have better movement than they should. Investing in movement speed give players an upper hand to dodge incoming bullets and other Security that spawns when hacking computers.
The Power of in-app Purchases
Byte Hunter makes it to thecasualappgamer.com due to the fact that it’s free to play. Of course there’s always a catch and this is where this casual app does it rather badly.
While playing, and without warning, advertisements will spawn. None of them tend to be longer than 10 seconds, but it really messes with the flow of what’s happening.
I suppose this is a way for the creator to money, but there are various other ways to achieve this. Mainly, and my favorite, offer players a boost in power to take an advertisement to the face.
The Verdict
Byte Hunter feels like it’s not doing much, but there’s enough casual play here to keep me casually logging in to burn some real life time. Hopefully the developer gets with the program and does some updates, but truthfully it’s not needed. There’s a long grind to be had so it’s not much of an issue everything looks the same.
At the same time, it’s 2025 and we and casual players crave more.
Already made it to the max level and looking for somewhere to brag about it? Drop a comment in the section below and let us know how long it took to get there!
Happy Gaming, and as always, keep it casual!
