HUNTDOWN

good fun co-op game, with awesome style and fun bosses.

Gorgeous retro design graphics and for the most part fun game play but bad boss design makes the game feel like hard work long before it should.

A Fantastic Modern retro style run-and-gun shooter with Great pixel art and animations.

I hope this gets a sequel or DLC

wow, simply one of the best games i have ever played. Phenomenal in every aspect!! Bravo!! NAILED IT!!

but since my opinion is nothing special, enjoy this random AI generated review of the game:

Huntdown is like if an 80s action movie and a pixelated fever dream had a baby, and that baby drank three Red Bulls and then entered a deathmatch with a sense of humor sharper than a ninja's throwing star! Imagine blasting through a neon-soaked city where cyborgs wield bazookas, and every boss fight feels like a showdown with your worst ex, complete with puns that land harder than my awkward attempts at flirting. The soundtrack is so good it should be illegal to listen to while not wearing sunglasses at night. It's like Contra and a stand-up comedian had a wild affair and then decided to raise a family of pixelated mayhem and chaotic laughs—10/10 would hunt and down again!

Easy to Enjoy, Hard to Master

• Badass music,
  
• Pattern fights,
  
[*]Easter eggs!

Bests of games

Short but fun game with nice visuals which is not painfully challenging nor easy.

Speaking as someone who's never had cocaine before, this game must be what cocaine feels like.

Controls are completly broken on the MacOS port unfortunaly.It doesnt control fluidly at all...
I dont know if its my 8Bitdo Pro 2 controller and the mac 360 mode or if its a feature of the game...
Its a pity because the game looks good itself and i'm a fan of run and guns. Lets hope that the dev fixes that

Good art and animations, but as a run'n'gun game its ass. I'd say it feels like a euroshmup of Contra-like games tho its more closer to Demolition Man on Genesis. The gameplay is dull, you just pick up new weapons and use covers, only new weapons kinda add variety to it. You have dash but it useless half the time because it gives you almost zero iframes so you forced to take covers and play slowly. The bosses are the worst part of the game, they're massive bulletsponges, some of them have cheap attacks (and your dash is useless against them once again), some of the patterns are very boring. Its definitely not an arcade game design where your character is fluid and doesnt have much recoveries, its very slow, got a lot of animations and slowdowns. And its waaaaaay longer than it should be

Good game. What the old arcade platform shooters should have been.

Okay, this game is fucking amazing. That is all. Buy it.

A perfect mixture of shooting, dark humor, close-combat weapons, words play and gorgeous music!
The only minus to note is the last two fights (with Shogun) - it does NOT look like a good idea to place such a fight on a roof, because the probability to fall down is far too high. And it often takes place..
The same for the second stage - the hero just slips away from the stones.

I can say nothing but only recommend this game. Many thanks to the authors!

Great artwork! Great gameplay! Great humor!

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.

My only complaint about this game is I wish the campaign was longer because it was so much fun, good replay-ability though

i hope this gets a sequel

I like this kind of game. sumilating retro games, but with better modifications.

Fun co-op

If you like 80s themed run and gun shooters you'll probably like huntdown.

Really fun old school game with tons of fun weapons and great local co-op play.

If you're new to the arcade genre like I am, only buy Huntdown when it's heavily discounted (80%-90% off).
It's a solid game, but it only offers about 5 hours of story gameplay.

Wonderful 80s vibes. I'm not always huge on Contra-likes, but the setting and writing really make this a wonderful romp.

Best in it's class, NEED I SAY MORE?!?!??!?!

excellent

Great game, funny dialogues, cool boss fights and very good looking levels. A videogame where every dystopic, sci - fi, cyberpunk, action elements merged to create such a unique and wonderful atmosphere. Many references to films like akira, blade runner, sin city and even bruce lee and jackie chan filmography comes to my mind while playing this game. Speaking of the playstyle it's a run&gun type, easy to learn hard to master with a lot of fun and probably swearing in the making.

Wheres HUNTDOWN 2: Lords of Assault ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?

Very good, especially the bosses.

An absolutely amazing game. Extremely well made and wonderful to play. 10/10

Awesome game! More fun in co-op (couch coop only), so I played it with my buddy. They nailed the formula here, it is what you expect. Just the right level of challenge to make it feel worth the pains!

Highly recommendeed. It's a no-brainer.

Finally, something fun to review. Huntdown is awesome and not for sissies. It’s full of unique boss fights with great personality, sick af backgrounds that gives parallax a new name, loads of secrets, fun to use weapons. You can burn guys to death and looks awesome, it’s got two player, multikills, weapon combos, and dogs that’ll try to rip your face off. It reminds me of when video games were good and men were men. Fitting soundtrack and just looks so damn nice! Totally worth the sticker price and the arcade mode is intense and great add-on.

I really liked this one, it’s the best I’ve played in months. Thank you sir!

this is like Contra 3 on crack

Amazing game, with so much attention to detail.
I absolutely loved every bit of effort and care put into development, like bouncing cars - who would be normally bother doing something like this in a retro shoot-em up?
Enemy variety and especially the boss variety is amazing, so much content in such a simplistic looking game on the surface.
Loved the Nadja Drago boss, being thrown into the goalpost.

great graphics, animations, gameplay and music... glorious fun!!!

My friend Nick gifted me this game. He's a real sweetheart.

The game is pretty good too.

this game kicks butt

good game

This game is perfect, I finished the story mode, and I am ready now for the arcade mode. It is one of this old arcade games that you want to come back for a quick play every time from to time. Apart from the gameplay, the feeling you have with the pixelated city and the music, make this game very atractive these days.

Exactly what I wanted from it!

Brilliant game

I enjoyed my time with Huntdown. I think the pros more than make up for the cons, and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves side scrolling arcade games!

Pros:
+Absolutely fantastic pixel art. The amount of style shown everywhere and how many art assets they made for this game cannot be understated. The music is also very fitting, but not as catchy or memorable. Presentation overall is A+.
+Weapons feel good to use, tight controls means you'll never have a problem that wasn't your own fault.
+Strong enemy and boss variety with the factions and methodical boss design. If you like pattern recognition like Mega Man / Contra, you'll love these guys.
+ The creative vision on this game was executed perfectly. It's a rare sight when I can tell the designers did not compromise even a single time.

Cons:
- It is not a fast game for how much action there is. Pretty slow and methodical pace over the entire game. Not really my preference when it comes to these types.
- The levels play out the exact same, not many new mechanics to engage with to make them interesting. The only thing that kept me going through them was to get to the excellent boss fights.


I'd give Huntdown a 7.5/10, you really can't go wrong picking this up, even if some of the design elements felt lacking when I put thought into them. The experience of playing and watching the game as it went on was delightful.

hell yeah

Great game. I would recommend it, but I still gotta give it to contra or streets of rage for doing a better shoot'em up and soundtrack than this game.

I livelli di per se sono ok ed i boss di fine livello danno soddisfazione durante il combattimento. Consigliato

Excellent couch coop

its hard

good

I don't actually endorse the killing of dogs, nor the lack of gun control
