March 2025
A short but amazing indie title inspired by the likes of Contra and Metal Slug. But I must say, it is definitely better than them in every aspect. It's overall easier and more modern gamer friendly. The gameplay is pretty solid. The cyberpunk art design is top-notch and overall, it does a brilliant job at giving that retro vibe in every corner. Even the character lines are cheesy in a good way. Level designs are also great. The difficulty curve is too steep in the last area, I must say. But even though it's quite challenging, it's definitely not Katana Zero level maddening. And the final boss is made not to get beaten. I hate it but I had to get used to it overtime... Definitely a must play.

This game is kickass. Cool cyberpunk theme, awesome soundtrack and feels like a modern Neo Geo game. I got it on sale for $5 and that feels like a steal for a game this quality. Even not on sale this game is worth it.

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.

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.

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!
