Each has a default weapon that favors a slightly different play style. Incredible retro pixel art, generous local co-op, a stonking frame rate and an addictive game play loop that had me coming back for more Huntdown is the total package. The basic setup for Huntdown puts the player in control of one of three bounty hunters: Anna Conda, John Sawyer, or Mow Man. Huntdown is, quite simply, one of the best side-scrolling shooters I've ever played. The thumping soundtrack and beautiful 16-bit aesthetic are just the icing on the cake, like a perfectly delivered "Stick around!" after Arnie pins an enemy to the wall with an expertly thrown blade. It's challenging but largely fair, with some thrilling boss encounters that require a variety of tactics to bring to justice. Huntdown is an ode to the gloriously violent and ridiculous action movies of the 80s, revelling in cheesy one-liners, larger than life characters, and wanton bloodshed. The attention to detail in the environments and the ever-changing rollout of enemies play a huge part in keeping each moment of gameplay fresh with a high level of intensity. From the beginning to the end, this game is an absolute thrill. Huntdown takes you back to the days of classic arcade 2D action games but utilizes modern tools to perfect the genre.
#Huntdown tips full
Huntdowns is a brilliant retro shooter, fast and defying, full of 80´s references and easter eggs. Hobby Consolas - David Martínez - Spanish - 80 / 100 It’s a wonderful homage to an era of games and movies that paved the way for this to happen. It may not break ground on the neo-nostalgic front, but it doesn’t need to. Heed the warning: Do Not Sleep on Huntdown. But behind its acid comic style and vulgar tone lies a superb, meticulously created action experience, packing in addictive and creative carnage, at breakneck pace, for an agreeable price.

Huntdown is a nihilistic, loud, explosive, even obnoxious arcade shooter.
