A Run and Gun game with flair You play as one of the three bounty hunters often hired to hunt down the felons and keep the peace in a post apocalyptic future where street gangs and selfish MNCs run the world. The game has a neat feature like taking cover which was new for me in a run and gun game. There are melee weapons and throwables like grenades. I encountered various guns like shotgun, SMG and assault rife and a whole lot more available at various points during my playthough. I am very impressed with the level design, character designs and boss fights. In coop your partner can be revived and vice versa. The game is fun to play with a friend. You can invite a friend to remoteplay with you. Sadly not possible to invite 2 friends for remoteplay, but possible to locally have 1-2 people to play with you. https://youtu.be/0qwUFhDq2I8

A completely forgotten gem. An absolute audio visual masterpiece. The music is mind blowing. So good, it's worth to buy separately. Beautiful hand painted pixel art with cyberpunk and dystopian themes. Heavily inspired by 80's action and sci-fi movies. With lot of references on such classics like Running Man, Blade Runner, Akira and way more. Buy this game!

Aug. 2024

While the game's themes are decidedly based on 1980s action films, its technical quality is much more along the lines of a AAA action side-scroller from the mid-90s, with the gameplay of something like Robocop Versus Terminator. And to that end, its gameplay is straightforward, with all complexity lying in the challenge and ability of the player to execute well without taking damage. No RPG mechanics, minimal power creep, just an honest-to-goodness old-fashioned action platformer / shooter. More forgiving than Contra, you have some HP, and levels have checkpoints. But it's still challenging. There's a bit of secret hunting, and optional challenges and 4 difficulty levels to keep you chasing higher expertise, should you enjoy pushing yourself. But really the reason to play this game is the beautiful retro audio/visuals and the turn-off-brain action blasting. Wouldn't mind going through it again in co-op. If you like Genesis-era action/shooter platforming, you'll probably get a kick out of Huntdown.

July 2024

This game oozes style. Superb visuals and sound, very tight and crisp gameplay that feels like a mix of Broforce and Blackthorne. It's all very fast paced, bite sized, and challenging.

June 2024

Huntdown is a near perfect game 9.5 out of 10. The pixel artwork, the soundtrack, game play, writing, and atmosphere are cracked. I love everything about this game! It captures the essence of early pixel games from the late 90's and early 2000's. Other than a few interesting bugs there is nothing wrong with this game and I hope they make a sequel with more elements like path choices in levels, more characters, and a longer story with modifiable stats, even light rpg. I highly recommend this game to anyone of the era looking for nostalgia or newcomers looking for a Contra style side scrolling shooter. Have fun!
