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.

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.

Exceptional fun
This game is just great to play from start to finish, with great story, graphics, music, dialogue, humor and violence. If you're looking for high end, 3D raytraced graphics you won't find it here. What this game is, is a throwback to the golden age before 3D graphics were a thing, but the fun was intense to the point of being visceral. The graphics and gameplay wouldn't feel out of place on the Neo Geo. Gameplay is not just mindless shooting either, since you will have to strategically take shelter and change platforms to avoid bullets. The presentation is also something else. The cheesy one liners Bosses utter mid fight are really memorable and include references to 1980s & 1990s cult classics from Terminator 1&2, The Warriors, Robocop and more. So if you're a 1980s kid you'll be treated with lots of nostalgia For the rest, this is a fun game you'll not get tired of re-playing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you love 2D platformers.

Incredibly polished pixel platformer
Polished in all domains: level design and mechanics, as well as visuals and sound. This really feels like some lost gem from 1993. Challenge level is tough but fair. Keeps you motivated to keep playing like the best old school games. Only con: imperfect 4:3 aspect ratio support, for those that want to play fullscreen on a typical CRT TV. Would be nice to have a "pan and scan" buttonso you could pan the game camera to the right to see all the objstacles ahead. If you really want to give it a go Instead of 320x240 @ 60hz, you can try a desktop resolution of 360x270 @ 55hz, which gets more screenspace on the right and left so you're less frequently fighting bad guys you can't see. I haven't played all levels yet, so there may be cases where running 16:9 424x240 or 480x270 is necessary
