Hunter x Hunter Nen Impact First Gameplay Revealed

The first gameplay footage for Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact has been revealed from a demo version of the game, although some fans don't seem to be too impressed with the graphics.

We're only a few months into 2024, but it's already shaping up to be a pretty big year for anime gaming adaptations thanks to Sand Land, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, Jump Assemble, and even updates to older games like Xenoverse 2 and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections.

The demo also suggests that the final game will have 16 playable characters in its roster. So far, we only know of six of those fighters, but it's definitely a smaller selection than most games.

Even after only seeing ten minutes of gameplay, Nen Impact looks like it's going to have a lot of the same greatness you expect from Eighting, both for casual and competitive play. That being said, it seems a lot of fans aren't happy with the game's more simplistic visuals, with some of the comments underneath PS360HD2's video comparing it to a PS3 or mobile game and pointing out how small the roster looks to be.

While more casual fans have called out Nen Impact for its graphics and roster size, the general consensus is that it looks to have great gameplay that will hopefully make
