Reception
Josh Ye of AbacusNews.com criticizes Cyber Hunter for its lack of creativity and core innovation, calling it another PUBG Mobile clone. The game has borrowed many mechanics from several other games such as climbing, gliding and battlefield design from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.[10] Ash Mayhew of DroidGamers.com praises the game for genuine innovation in battle royale genre such as letting players create their own playing style. There are many strategic options at players' disposal when stuck in a combat.[11]
