![]() The game's blissfully linear breakdown consists of four major levels broken down into smaller chunks, where you encounter a wide range of gun fodder enemies, several minibosses, and eventually the major boss of that level. All of them have different kinds of guns and throwing weapons, but I found all of them to be equally effective. The bounty hunters are a cyborg with a steel jaw (John Sawyer), a gun-wielding Foxy Brown/Angela Davis-esque hybrid (Anna Conda), and a recon droid (Mow Man). As one (or two, if you're playing co-op) of three bounty hunters, you're basically hired to clean up things on the streets, which means bounties on various gangs and their leaders. The reason being a bounty hunter is a big deal is that you're beholden to - dramatic pause - no one. There is more story than that, or at least an attempt at one: You're a bounty hunter in the futuristic 21st century, where society has been taken over by massive corporations and classic "street gangs" are locked in feuds with authorities and each other.

This 16-bit-like, 2D side-scroller achieves the monumental task of re-conjuring the energy of a whole entertainment era for a handful of glorious hours, where you'll chuckle, laugh, stress out, yell, think about throwing your controller, and repeat the cycle until the end. I'm not saying that's what Easy Trigger Games did in the creation of this experience, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was at least part of the brainstorming process. after a marathon of "Robocop," "Rambo: First Blood Part II," "The Warriors," and maybe some "Last Action Hero" before flipping to "Blade Runner" (because you're feeling sci-fi fancy) or deciding to play Contra for a few hours and sprinkle in a little Technocop (yeah, what do you know about Technocop, eh?) before a slice of stale pizza and bed. It is the kind of game one could conceive at 3 a.m. This is full immersion, a baptism in a vat of boiling cheese where one-liners, bullets and pieces of every goofy bad guy trope bob up and down amidst the bubbles. Stab, shoot and explode your way through swathes of gangs and bosses and collect your bounty.It's not enough to merely say Huntdown dips into the pool of '80s and '90s action nostalgia. ![]() Martial arts experts, these slick psychopaths control the night through their casinos and nightclubsĬHOOSE YOUR WEAPONConfiscate machine guns, laser weapons, katanas, grenades and more, and turn them on their owners.
