HUNTDOWN
Description
CRIME DOESN'T PAY... UNLESS YOU'RE A BOUNTY HUNTER
In the mayhem-filled streets of the future where criminal gangs rule and cops fear to tread, only the bounty hunters can free the city from the corrupt fist of felony. Lay waste to the criminal underworld and make a killing in this hard boiled action comedy arcade shooter.
NEW ACTION-PACKED ARCADE MODE
It’s you versus the world as you’re pitted against players from all corners of the globe in a brutal battle to pummel your way up the leaderboards. Innovate and invent new ways to pulverize your foes to rack up your score, whether you make use of combo-kills, quickdraw weapon-swap bonuses, or just hurl criminals off the rooftops. In this nail-biting race against the clock, collect as many bounties as you can while you watch the numbers roll and strive to be the apex bounty hunter.
PLAY AS THREE LEGENDARY BOUNTY HUNTERS
Hand painted 16-bit pixel art graphics and hand-drawn animations combined with fluid 60-FPS gameplay and an epic synthesized soundtrack
20 LEVELS
Gritty, neon soaked, graffiti strewn 80s cityscapes to clear, each with their own infamous gang boss to terminate and bounty to collect.
FOUR UNIQUE GANGS TO DISMANTLE
Confiscate machine guns, laser weapons, katanas, grenades and more, and turn them on their owners. Stab, shoot and explode your way through swathes of gangs and bosses and collect your bounty.

Critics reviews
Destructoid
8/10
Huntdown is a nihilistic, loud, explosive, even obnoxious arcade shooter. 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. Heed the warning: Do Not Sleep on Huntdown. It's an absolute blast.

9/10
It may not break ground on the neo-nostalgic front, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a wonderful homage to an era of games and movies that paved the way for this to happen.

9/10
Huntdown is, quite simply, one of the best side-scrolling shooters I've ever played. 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.

In best tradition of ‘80s action movies
Not that I'm very good at computer games, but this one is fire. Cool protagonists and antagonists. Great job by the voice actors. The maps are large enough to be fun and the game doesn't have time to get boring. Great 80's action film atmosphere. Every character has their own cool catchphrases. My favorite one is: [throws the axe] "I have to axe a question" A.C.

Amazing, Addictive, Worth the Money
Fluid play on Macbook M1 and on Winlator via a Samsung S10. Every time you die, you want to quickly re-up and get back at it. Good enemy variety and challenges. Had to get used to finding items by using up all weapons where they could be, but I enjoy that aspect too. All-in-all, highly recommend it at regular price. Demand you get it when on sale.
