HUNTDOWN

I just finished and totaly enjoyed this game. I played it in hard mode which was challenging and nice. I admit I was a bit frustrated here and there, because it seems to me, that hitboxes/collisionboxes and the amount of damage the character takes from the same damage sources vary sometimes. But overall it was a very nice experience. Lots of nice pixelgraphics, a big range of weapons which are fun to use and with the dodging and hiding, the game has a higher skill cap than similar games I played. I was very motivated to play through all the stages and to defeat the bosses. I also enjoyed the sound, music and the overall presentation.

Great flow action game which totally feels like how nostalgia wants you to remember arcade machines, drenched in beautiful pixel art and 80s neon aesthetic. When you know what you're doing, the game flows perfectly and you feel like you're an awesome badass cleaning up the seedier parts of town. When you don't know what you're doing, it sometimes feels cheap and slightly infuriating, but thankfully checkpoints are close enough by (on Normal at least), and you're back in the action quickly enough. All bosses have their own personality both in the stage and fight wise. And at least for me, they were no pushover...until you learned their pattern, at which point you could start feeling awesome blowing them away, while their attacks miss. Add multiple difficulty levels. And 3 optional objectives per level and you've got something you could spend a whole lot of time on, if you're the kind to hunt those medals down. I took around 5½ hour to finish the game, leaving much behind to go back and clean up. Overall, great game

Thank you for resurrecting Lo Wang :) There's a bunch of other references to games from 90s.

You'll be hard pressed to find a more perfectly polished Contra-like. This game oozes a pixel perfect cyberpunk aesthetic with multiple playable characters, lots of weapons, enemies to use them on and boss encounters.

all best game
