Unsurprisingly, the Early Access of Frontier Hunter: Erza’s Wheel of Fortune hopes to remedy some of the shortcomings of its predecessor. Both critics and consumers appreciated IceSitruuna’s inaugural title, which sold more than 800,000 copies on Steam. Instead, Erza’s Trial was more of a linear trek elevated by a multitude of different weapons and abilities to wield. Like Dead Cells, the game veered away from bestowing new abilities that granted access to new areas. With its hack-and-slash action set in a tangled tower, the game delivered many of the fundamentals of modern Metroidvania. Undoubtedly, Tower Hunter: Erza’s Trial was a promising debut for IceSitruuna, a four-person development team from Chongqing.
