I also used my PS4 controller and it worked great too. You can customize them in the options menu. I stuck with the virtual controls until I got the hang of it. I love the dialogue and the witty humour. It is a side-scroller with lots of bad guys, a lot of weapons, and action all over the place. Huntdown is a throwback to 16-bit goodness. Highly recommended if you are looking for a game in this category. As an action game, Huntdown is a success, but above all, it succeeds in its evocation of this violent, crazy cyberpunk environment. Thanks to the creativity shown by its designers, Huntdown manages to avoid the monotony that often occurs in games with a fairly linear 'beat them all' orientation: many details, visual, musical, or textual, give a very strong personality to the game, and renew the pleasure of progressing.Ĭontrols are responsive (although I would have appreciated a little more mobility for the hunter), animation very neat, nothing disturbs the immersion. So I will obey the boss I mentioned earlier and take a break from the game to list some of its qualities. « Rhaaaaaa, please don’t moove! » yells a boss in rock music background, and also many other invectives - our hunter does not deprive himself either, even making ironic jokes in accordance with the weapon he uses. I really enjoyed this game and I highly recommend it - we are talking about a high-quality indie game (and they hardly get better than this). There's not much in the plot department, but that's hardly a fault, considering the type of game the devs were aiming for. I would have loved to see more fun and unique 'gimmicks' in the levels themselves, but this is more of a personal preference rather than direct criticism. The learning curve is reasonable and you really feel like a retro badass after taking down the big hitters. Plus, each level culminates in a unique boss battle designed to test your skills even further. These gangs feel distinct from each other, both in terms of appearance and overall weaponry. You play as 1 of 3 possible mercenaries that must hunt down (pun intended) different gangs across several districts. The gameplay is smooth, focusing more on the action department. Huntdown is a 'run n' gun' platformer inspired by the 80s (cheesy one-liners, art style and soundtrack included). But perhaps you'd prefer a second or third opinion, so we handed the game over to our App Army to see if they agreed. Now it has made its way over to mobile devices, and I think it's a pretty fun time.

Huntdown is an 80s inspired side-scrolling shooter that has received critical acclaim since its initial launch last year.
